Photos and Description of the Progreso vacation house rental
House, 2 Bedrooms, 2 Baths, (Sleeps 6)

Our home is exactly what you're hoping for! Here are the 8 reasons this home stands out from the others.

1) TRULY BEACHFRONT. Not 'close to beachfront' or 'ocean view.' Your back yard is made of sand, and there is nothing between the house and the ocean except our own sandy beach front lot. Our lot is 250 feet long, and other than our house and pool, it's all sand!

2) HUGE PRIVATE POOL. One of the largest in the area. Most pools in our area are considered 'plunge pools.' Ours is possibly the largest private pool in the entire region. It is 40 feet long and 16.5 feet wide (12 meters x 5 meters). It also includes a children's area that is knee deep for adults and perfect for toddlers and young children.

3) THE AMENITIES YOU NEED TO STAY IN TOUCH WITH THE WORLD: Satellite TV from the USA, Wireless Internet, a cell phone for local calls, and an iPod docking station.

4) A UNIQUELY DESIGNED, WELL BUILT HOUSE WITH AIR CONDITIONING in both bedrooms. Most homes in this area are older 'box' homes that are 20-50 years old. Our home was built in 2004 with top-shelf building materials, including a lot of tile in the kitchen and bathrooms. It has a unique architectural design, including 3 beautiful columns that support a shaded back patio overlooking the ocean.

5) EASY ACCESS from Cancun or Merida. Cancun is a 3.5 hour comfortable, inexpensive bus ride from Merida on a major highway, and Merida is only 30 minutes away. Our home is located in Chuburna, the best (most tranquil, best beach, closest location to the bigger towns) location on the coast north of Merida. It's 15 minutes to Progreso, which has a large (Wal Mart owned) 'everything' store and a cruise ship pier and malecon that you can see from our beach! McDonalds, Starbucks, Home Depot, Wal Mart and more are only 30 minutes from your door in Merida.

6) GROUND TRANSPORTATION IS PROVIDED for you! Our property manager will pick you up or drop you off at the airport in Merida and will be happy to take you to Wal Mart, drop you off at the mall or another tourism site, and do whatever you need for your entire stay! There is a fee for these services. By the way, our property manager has a law degree from the University of Mexico, lived in Nashville for 10 years, and speaks perfect English.....she'll be 5 minutes down the road from you during your stay!

7) SAFETY. We're in the state of Yucatan, which is absolutely, positively the safest location in all of Mexico. Look it up. Check the stats. It's safer than Cancun, Playa del Carmen, and where we live in the USA.

8) OUR HOUSE IS NOT LOCATED ON A HIGHWAY. We live on a quiet, sandy street. Many homes in this area are located right on the major highway that passes by. If you have dogs, children, or just want to take a peaceful walk from your house, it may not be possible from many homes in this region.

Welcome to Coco Pelicano! Just a couple of years ago we were looking for a rental home for our family to spend some extended, quality time together. During our time on the coast north of Merida, we visited all the towns and many homes. After seeing all of the coast, we felt that Chuburna was the ideal location because of its beautiful beach and proximity to Progreso and Merida.

When we discovered that our current home was for sale, we knew there would never be a better location for a beach home. The only thing it was missing was a pool! So we added a huge pool in the back yard, and now we have the perfect home on the beach!

Our house was built to North American standards, including heavy construction, pleny of excellent lighting, and 3-prong electrical outlets everywhere in the house.

We have 2 large bedrooms. The first is a master bedroom with king size bed (Spring Air Mattress), its own bathroom, and its own door to the patio and beach. The second bedroom has two double beds, and both bedrooms have their own new A/C unit with remote control.

The kitchen and living area are an open floor plan. The kitchen has tile countertops, plenty of space, and small bar that overlooks the kitchen. The living area has comfortable sofas and a full dining room table and chairs.

Most importantly, this entire home is built with incredible beach, pool, and ocean views, and it all leads to your perfect oceanfront location! We have outdoor chairs for adults and children, beach loungers, and a full patio chair and table set.

Our yard is completely made of sand. In the front yard, we have a number of coconut trees and a banana tree. The back yard is the same. Feel free to take a nap on the sand under your beach front coconut tree!

This home is all about the beach, ocean, pool, and being outside. It's about relaxation and rejuvenation. You'll never take a vacation that is more stress free than having your own beachfront home with private pool in a cute Mexican beach town!

In Chuburna, you'll find a number of convenience stores and small restaurants serving some of the best seafood you'll ever taste....and it's all just a short walk down the sandy streets from your home!

About The Owner

We live in Minnesota and have three children and three dogs! Matt oversees a Christian Ministry that creates partnerships between churches and communities all over the world. Gina is a Physical Therapist. Both of us love our children, our three dogs, and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

The Owner purchased this house in 2011
Why The Owner chose Progreso

We love to drive all the way from Minnesota to Mexico to spend time in our favorite corner of the world. We've been to every continent other than Antarctica, and have decided that our beach home location is our very favorite place

What makes this house unique

You simply won't find a home to rent that has a better combination of location and amenities than this one. I know this to be true because we've spent time living and working in this area, so we know exactly what North Americans expect to remain connected with the world, but we also know North Americans are looking for when it comes to convenience, relaxation, and most importantly.....a house on the beach!

Private Beach Vacation Home

5 of 5
Submitted: May 4, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
My two best girl friends and I chose this beautiful beach home for our first Girls Getaway Trip. We were looking for somewhere to go where we could reconnect and have conversations without our kids interrupting and also enjoy some nice warm sunshine and ocean views. This home provided this perfectly. We had perfect weather each day with full sunshine and temps in the 80s and 90s. The breeze off the ocean was wonderful, so it never felt too hot. This beach home is so unique because it completely provides you with your very own pristine private pool with a gorgeous view of the ocean without having to worry about anyone else bothering you. We also did enjoy venturing out of the gate of the property onto the beach for walks and to swim in the ocean. This is the most perfect swimming beach as it is so sandy and the water was warm. The locals that we met were so friendly and most only spoke Spanish. I found this wonderful as I then had an opportunity to brush up on my Spanish. It was so nice to feel like we were experiencing real Mexico and still have the comforts of home. We really appreciated the property manager, Veronica, who is fluent in English for all of the help she was to us. She helped us to decide where to eat, and drove us into town to get groceries. There is a cute little store just a block or so down the sand road that we enjoyed walking to to get a few remaining things. They have a water cooler with filtered water in the house so it was very nice to not have to worry about buying bottled water. This was the most relaxing vacation I have ever had. My favorite part was just having our own space and pool with the most gorgeous ocean view! I am now looking forward to bringing my husband and children back for a family vacation sometime in the future. Thank you to the owners of this home and the property manager for providing my friends and I with such a memorable and relaxing vacation!

Tropical Getaway

5 of 5
Submitted: May 2, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
This incredible beach home has everything you need for a true tropical getaway...privacy, serenity, and beauty. On arrival, we were kindly greeted by the property manager, Veronica, who conveniently took us to Walmart to get any groceries we needed for our stay. She was readily available during our entire stay. The house itself was immaculate and fully stocked with basic necessities. The large, pristine pool and its proximity to the ocean is a definite highlight of this home! After many walks along the beach, viewing other homes along the coast, it was evident that this beach home has the best pool in many ways. Not only does it have a shallow area for kids, it is also fenced in keeping small children close by and creating privacy for adults, yet maintaining a clear view and easy access to the ocean. We also enjoyed having a massage therapist come to the house for complete relaxation and privacy, and at a great price! Walking to nearby restaurants for fresh, inexpensive seafood was another highlight, in particular the shrimp at D'Davids. We also enjoyed the short drive to Progreso for some shopping and good food. We also felt very safe and secure during our stay here. The neighbors and locals are very friendly people yet respect one another's privacy. I will definitely want to come back for a longer stay to investigate all that Merida has to offer! This vacation home offered the beauty and many conveniences of a large resort, but the privacy and serenity we experienced cannot be compared!

Laid back and relaxing

My husband and I had a wonderful time in Chuburna - the house is exactly as advertised and we thoroughly enjoyed the pool and the beachfront location. There is definitely room for 4 people if necessary but we enjoyed having the whole place to ourselves.

Pros: location, property clean and well maintained, supplied drinking water was a lifesaver, air conditioning in bedroom much appreciated, local people were friendly and helpful, owners answered all our pre-trip questions promptly, great local vibe, pool was fantastic, very relaxing.

Cons: limited water pressure, bright lights from neighbour's yard made it feel like we were in a baseball stadium every night, lots of stray dogs everywhere in Chuburna and Chelem - very sad, delayed responses from property manager when we asked questions (I understand the delay is quite normal for the locals, but it was a bit frustrating for us)

We only ate out once - at Soma in Chelem - and it was lovely. We would recommend Randy at Yucatan Snook if you want to go fishing and a trip into Merida if you want to do any serious shopping. Having a vehicle is recommended as made daily trips into Chelem or Progreso for groceries.

Fabulous family vacation!

Our time in Mexico was fantastic! We cannot recommend this location and home any higher, and would give it 10 stars if possible. If you and your family are seeking a quiet, safe, beach vacation to unwind and spend time together, this home is your answer! We felt completely welcomed by the home manager who met us at the airport and helped us with shopping and orienting us! The home was clean and well maintained, with all the supplies we would want and need. The photos were completely accurate, showcasing both their stunning location, luxurious pool, and great home amenities.
Most important to us was the excellent family time it facilitated. We took long walks along the beach and played for HOURS in the pool. We were able to unwind inside and watch more cable than we have at home (a bonus for our kids!). The air conditioning kept us cool at night, and wifi kept us connected just enough to home.
We loved all of our time there, and, in fact, never left! We loved being able to walk to at least 2 restaurants, and loved our daily walks to the fruit market and back home along the beach. We especially loved Los Delfinos for it's fresh shrimp and delicious empanadas and paloma!
We have already recommended this to many other families seeking a unique, relaxing get away where you can unwind and enjoy the beach and your own private pool. My favorite memories are watching my husband and son boogie board each day while my girls picked shells and made sand castles! We loved it and hope to make it a regular vacation spot!

The Whole Family Loved This Vacation!!

5 of 5
Submitted: December 1, 2012 Stayed: November 2012
My wife and I have just returned from celebrating our 15th anniversary in Mexico, and we had an amazing experience! We decided to take our 3 young children (9,8 and 5) along with us so they could experience another country and it's culture. We had never been to that side of Mexico before, so we were a little unsure of where to stay and what to do.

We feel so fortunate to have found this rental online. Gina (the owner) was wonderful on the phone, and answered any questions or concerns that I had. Her property manager Veronica is great, and available on speed dial from the phone there at the house if you need anything. We felt cared for, safe, and relaxed as our family actually got to spend time together enjoying each other and our surroundings.

The kids absolutely loved the pool and the fact that the beach was our backyard! The home is beautiful and the back patio was a true haven to rest and relax. It is such a cool setting with the kids jumping, splashing and laughing in the pool, with the beach and the Caribbean behind them. My little girls brought back almost more seashells than we have room for, and my son and I enjoyed playing coconut football in the sand. It was wonderful to see my wife get a chance to actually relax and just enjoy her family. The only thing that I was unhappy with was the fact that I wasn't able to enjoy it for a longer period of time. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Best vacation we ever had in the sun

4 of 5
Submitted: November 15, 2012 Stayed: October 2012
It really has all been said by others who have been there before us....Beautiful views, the locals are friendly, kind people, calm waters, great pool and wonderful food! Very, very relaxing...exploring the area is a must if you're staying more then a week. It is close to Progreso where there are a lot of good restaurants on the Malecon. If you order a drink they will give you free tapas the whole time you sit there. Two things to suggest....if you want Internet bring a laptop or if you have an ipad there is free wifi at almost all the restaurants on the Malecon, Just ask for a passcode. The other is if you stay for more than a week and want to explore you really need to rent a car to get to the ruins or going into Merida. Over all we really had the best time ever.

If you're looking for a quiet and relaxing vacation, this is it! This vacation home was clean with all the amenities you'll need and is in a great location. Progresso was a quick and easy 10 min drive with a lovely oceanfront where you will find some amazing restaurants!! It was quite easy to catch a bus into Merida which is a beautiful city to investigate. Everyone was very warm and friendly!! The property manager, Veronica, was very helpful as was Gina, the owner, in answering any questions that we had. Overall, a great vacation.

The property met our needs to a tee, being very clean, spacious, fully equipped for our cooking, close to the sites we wanted to visit as well as having 2 Bathrooms and a gorgeous pool.
The views over the pool, onto the beach and the ocean are spectacular in the morning as well as the evening. The property is very quiet and the bedrooms cool, so sleeping is not a problem. We were extremely comfortable and felt very secure in the house as well as the village.
We also appreciated very much the closeness to Progresso, a short 15 minute drive on a beautiful causeway, where we could buy anything we needed. It is very close to Mayan archeological sites and approximately 30 minute drice to Merida.
We definitely recommend the house to anyone who wants a clean, safe, well equipped place to stay while in the Progresso/Merida area.
It is suitable for couples as well as family with children.
A very special feature, is that the owners have retained the services of a local property manager who is extremely kind, knowledgeable, helpful and very accommodating and who can be there litteraly in minutes.
