                T     he Airbnb movement has led to paradigm shifts for both travelers and hospitable homeowners, connecting

                      them through the convenience of the online world.
                      Where once the bed and breakfast route was a travel niche existing off the main planning thoroughfares,
                Airbnb and similar rent-by-owner services are now often first stops for travel planners. For those who love to entertain,
                the B&B concept has long been the motivator for creative home design, devising unique and interesting spaces to
                recharge and revitalize their guests.

                As ubiquitous as the Airbnb world has become, it’s inevitable that certain lodgings would stand out. Today, we’ll look
                at five unusual, spectacular, unique, and just plain odd options that evoke a breathless response that make you gasp,
                “cool!”

                Living inside a seashell? If that idea appeals to your sense of whimsy, then you must check out Casa Caracol, a two-
                bedroom, alabaster white home on Isla Mujeres in the Gulf of Mexico, near Cancun. There are two “shells,” each with a
                king bed and private bath, opening onto an expansive courtyard surrounding the exclusive-use pool.
                Casa Caracol is gated, so you’ll have the celebrity experience when passersby note the stunning architecture from the
                street. Both shells and the entire property is yours to enjoy, complete with Wi-Fi and air conditioning. You can get in
                touch with your inner mermaid for $372 CAD per night.
