Old friends came for a few days to relax. Storm had hit the beach just before our arrival so the beach was not ideal but we swam & used kayaks on the flat Gulf water. Host was great re: communication & hospitality. Great area for sunsets & birdwatching. Nothing really within walking distance ; kitchen & grill were perfect for preparing our own meals. Swimming pool wonderful. Xcambo is close by for a visit to see Mayan ruins. Flamingos were abundant on the salt flats. Telchac & Progresso are about 30minutes drive for restaurants. Newly opened grocery store called MyMarket very close for most of what you need.

Three things makes this the most wonderful VRBO rental ever: an incredible location, a fabulous house, and the best host we've ever had. It's like going to your best friends house that you've always thought was the greatest AND having your best friend at your beck and call to help with whatever you need. If you are looking for an ocean holiday free from the crowds of Cancun but still close to great restaurants and long beach walks, this is the place. Our host Francisco was tireless in offering help, advice, suggestions, and making us feel totally at home!

We stayed here 2 weeks, the house is great, the beach is fantastic, we had a great time. I worked most days, the internet connection was super good and reliable. AC in all bedrooms. The location is great to use as a base to explore Yucatán, and the restaurants in Progreso are good. The owner/host is very responsive and nice! We had a great time all around. Would definitely recommend it.

The house is spacious, clean, and very well appointed. We had all the amenities we needed, including a pool, easy access to the beach, and a great kitchen. Our host was so friendly and kind, and helped us with ideas for shopping, touring, and getting around. This stea of Mexico is extra special-beautful and tranquil.

We spent December in the beach house and had a wonderful time! The setting is awesome, sitting on the lanai and listening to the waves is very peaceful. There is nearly always a nice breeze off the water and the temperatures were nearly perfect. The location is great. It is out of the hustle and bustle of town but 20 minutes to Progreso which has nearly anything you need. Merida is an hour's drive and many cenotes and ruins are within a two hours. Francisco (host) was very responsive to all questions and addressed concerns immediately.

3 generations of our family spent Christmas vacation in this beautiful, well equipped home right on the ocean! Francisco was a wonderful host, responding quickly to our requests for extra bankets and towels, and was attentive to all of our needs. We were especially grateful for the groceries that he provided on our arrival, saving us the bother of having to look for a store on the first evening of our arrival. The setting was very quiet and peaceful and we had long stretches of beach to ourselves for most of the 2 weeks that we were there. A recently enlarged swimming pool right off the back deck provided refreshing dips and was much appreciated by our 6 year old twins. Mayan ruins, nature tours and small towns and villages nearby provide interesting opportunities to learn more about this part of the world. We would strongly recommend this home for a laid back vacation in a comfortable , quiet setting where you are constantly lulled by the sound of the ocean waves in your back yard.

We had the best time relaxing by the ocean in a wonderful home! Spacious house with absolutely everything that you may need. Kitchen was really well appointed, with plenty of plates, cups, silverware and utensils, which is not always the case in rental homes. Beach towels were provided and were large and thick, which we appreciated. Loved sitting on the porch watching the ocean, and wonderful sunsets! Water was warm, and beach felt very safe and private. Sandy bottom and no strong tides. AC worked great, so we were very comfortable in the heat. We also ate at the restaurant 1km down the road, which had great food and also great service! It was not far to drive into Progreso to pick up supplies at the supermarket, or to eat out. Francisco and Ivette were wonderful hosts - extremely responsive to any questions or issues we had. They made our stay extra pleasant - we would definitely stay here again in the future.

We had the pleasure of staying at Francisco’s and Ivette’s lovely home for February and March in 2019. It is warm and inviting and the art work is inspiring. The house is situated on the beautiful emerald coast about 25 minutes from Progreso. Their home has everything you will need to relax and enjoy the nature that surrounds you. It is well equipped for cooking and we all discovered how much better food tastes on a charcoal grill! The 2 master bedrooms have wonderful views of the ocean and the beach and also have their own bathroom which is a real bonus for a visiting family member. All the bedrooms are spacious with lots of cupboards. The only thing we had to adjust to was the double bed. Our dog and cat enjoyed their stay. Both spent time on the beach relaxing, walking and swimming on the beach We never had to use the air conditioning because there was always a cross breeze even at night so the screens made it very pleasant to sleep and listen to the waves as they lulled you to sleep. When the wind was a bit strong in the front we could sit in the back room that was some what enclosed but had a great view of the ocean when you opened the side door. It was also a great area to smoke and BQ. If there was any issue Francisco was quick to respond and it was solved immediately. There is seaweed on the beach at times it can be a lot however there are 2 rakes that we used to clean the area if it needed it. This something that can not be controlled and some years are worse than others. The water was a good temperature to swim and the water did change frequently. Some days were very calm, other days with waves. The bottom is sand and the water is shallow. The beach does have shells so if you have sensitive feet wear water shoes. We had a wonderful time at their home and family member that visited enjoyed their stay too! We plan to return in 2020. Thank you Ivette and Francisco for sharing your home with us.
