Beautiful Home, Excellent Location, Awesome Time & Memories

We stayed here for the week after Christmas. It is a beautiful, spacious home located right on the beach. We loved the location that is a short drive from Progreso, but away from the hustle and bustle that comes with Progreso. We highly recommend and would definitely stay here again.

Great relaxing holidays

My husband and I stayed for 3 weeks and we really enjoyed our stay. We were able to relax and we visited a bunch of sites. Progresso is full of restaurants and you can get all the groceries you desire and more is available at Merida. Seaweed is present but it's the same everywhere in Mexico this year. Host is very nice, responsive and gives great information.

Perfect getaway

House and property are just as described. Perfect place to get away from it all. This is not a resort area, but awesome area to set back and read or meditate. A car might be considered necessary, but the drive into Progreso is quick and easy. Communication with Violet was great. Master bedroom has ac, but never used it. Perfect to let the breeze blow in and listen to the waves at night. Would love to return one day.

Amazing experience to live in a house on the beach!

The house exceeded our expectations and was perfect for our family Christmas. Four bedrooms and four bathrooms accommodated all of us, with our own privacy! The common areas...living room, kitchen, dining area, patio and pool were spacious and furnished so we could all be together comfortably. Though the location is a 4 hr drive from Cancun, and 1 hr from Merida, it was worth it to have a house with a pool, on the beach. We all loved waking up beside the ocean, stepping onto the sand in our pyjamas!! Our host Jorge was very communicative and responsive prior, during and after our stay, giving recommendations for grocery shopping and restaurant locations minutes from the house, as well as suggestions for Cancun, Merida and Progreso. The caretaker was available on call to us. We did require his assistance for something and he even came on Christmas morning. Overall, this experience was more than we expected and we are grateful for the opportunity!! :)

Great house on the Beach

We enjoyed our time at the house. It was comfortable and just steps from the beach. The porch facing the beach is covered and really big. It catches the breeze most of the day. It is a wonderful place to eat breakfast. The bedrooms are large and the beds were comfortable for us. We like a little firmer mattress so it suited us perfectly. It was great to have a/c in the bedroom but we only had to use it one night as the breeze kept us cool enough. I can imagine in the summer the a/c would be needed. It has grown up quite a bit around the house. The place next door was very busy on the weekend but it still didn’t feel too crowded only louder than during the week. Just know that there are houses apartments and small resorts around the property. There are not money changers everywhere like around Cancun area so stop in Merida at an atm before you come down to the area. Most places we went preferred pesos. Violet was very helpful and responsive to our questions. She recommended places close by that could be visited. We loved seeing all the different birds fishing just outside the house and spent quite a bit of time walking the beach. It would be nice to have a few books in the house to change out with the ones we brought. We went to several places close by looking for books but couldn’t find any. We left all our books so maybe that can be the start of a small book exchange library in the house. Overall, we had a great week!. Thank you for sharing your home!

Nice house, good location, beach not so much

The house and location are the best if you want ocean front with plenty of room. But, the beach area was covered in about 30"d sargassum and the water's edge was thick with it. Maybe time of year? It went down a little after a few days but there was a Lot. You cant walk very far down the beach because there's areas its just too think to get thru. And it stinks a bit, right? That cant be controlled of course, but that info should be shared. The outdoor area has no place to laze about in the sun. There are a couple of those wacky fiberglass (?) molded lounger things that are really uncomfortable so I'm not counting those. Cant lay in/on them and they sit right on the ground. There isn't much to do here, no games or cards or books or people staying nearby. It was so dead. Again, time of year thing? Or always? Don't know... It would be nice if there was some glasses that were glass or plates and bowls that could go in the microwave - everything was plastic. The couple managing are lovely and very helpful. It was nice that they supplied a huge jug of water. Its quiet and remote and calm and beautiful and very spacious. We just couldn't enjoy the beach, go in the water or laze in the sun. (again, time of year??)

Perfectly Relaxing

The house is well located and easy to find. A large entrance way brings you to a small living area, dining area and the around to the kitchen. A bedroom and separate bathroom finish off the main floor. The upstairs has 3 other bedrooms with ensuites, including the principle bedroom which shares a small balcony with another bedroom. The main patio area is perfect and where we spent much of our time. It is covered to provide much needed shade. There are areas where you can also seek out the sun. The pool is smaller but very refreshing to dip in. It's not large enough to swim but plenty of room to float and cool off. From the pool area is a gate with steps down to the sand and beachfront. It is an unobstructed view to the sea. There are places to hang hammocks on the patio (none are provided) and a clothes line as well as a charcoal bbq just off of the kitchen. The house is perfectly comfortable for a short term stay, we would definitely consider renting again.

Enjoyed our Stay!

Our family enjoyed visiting the beach. Violeta was very helpful with information, and communication. After missing a connecting flight, and getting in very early in the morning she was accommodating to get us the keys. She checked in with us to make sure we found everything we needed and if we needed anything. We found the house was clean and had the basics, as listed. The a/c worked well in all the bedrooms. The home is quite a drive from Progresso, so make sure you stock up on groceries before getting there. But once you arrive, you won't want to leave, and you don't need to leave to go to the beach. We enjoyed the privateness of the home, and could step out of the home to the beach and ocean. We loved to watch the sunrise and sunsets! There is some construction going on at the home next door. Sometimes we could hear them and other times we never noticed them. We lost power for a couple of hours one day. We found out that this does happen here and there. Check out was easy.

Not Recommended

The house is spacious and attractive, but it is the most poorly-supplied property we have ever rented. The large outdoor table shown in the photo is no longer there & it has been replaced by a square bistro-style table that isn’t large enough to be used for dinner by 4 people. One of the uncomfortable folding wooden chairs broke when the rotted wood & rusted screw under the seat separated, almost causing injury to the person who fell from it. Several other photos in the listing do not accurately reflect current conditions: other missing outdoor chairs, different dining room chairs, different living room furniture, range hood fan in the kitchen removed. Only two fibreglass beach loungers were provided. We found the lack of outdoor furniture to be a serious deficiency in a beach property that claims to accommodate up to 8 people! There were only 3 beach towels when we arrived & we bought 4 more, for which the host reimbursed us. The kitchen wasn’t well-supplied: only 3 dish towels, no small pot, no oven mitts, no kettle, not enough coffee mugs, no mop. There is no water circulation in the pool & a cleaning should be done every week, not every two.We also felt somewhat unsafe. We had to ask twice before the coconuts that were dangerously hanging over the pool area were cut down. No binder is provided with the usual local info, including contact info for the police or fire department if needed. The host could be much more proactive in managing this property.

Lovely beach area

This property was very well located, and although there are now 2 houses adjoing to the west that were not there before, they do not really interfer with the view to the west, At night, one can see the long pier in Progreso. To the east, the view is still completely open, and one can walk in either direction on a lovely wide stretch of beach for a very long way seeing only an occasional person around. There are tons of shells, and a fascinating low tide sand ripple formation about a K to the east, on a small part of the beach where a point has formed. We photographed this area, and found that the ripple varied quite a bit from day to day, and wished we could have stayed for longer to continue observing this pattern. (We were there for 18 days, and the tides were very high) The house is well constructed and well kept, and we found the layout very pleasing, with ample kitchen area, and WONDERFUL pots and pans to cook with. Bedding is also ample. House was very clean on arrival, and the kitchen was immaculate; dishware, pots and pans included. We had a very enjoyable time in our 18 days, with wonderful sunrises and sets, and some great full moon shots with Mars directly below it, and I am sure we will go back if available in future. The owner Violeta was really great to work with, and it was a pleasure to stay in their beach house.

Your own beautiful paradise on the beach

We arrived with no problem locating the house. This is in a newer area of San Benito which is a more exclusive area outside of Progreso. We were greeted by Rodolfo who was super friendly and helpful for any needs we had. Remember you are renting a house so you will need to supply all your sundries(tp, paper towels, soap)and groceries, which is an easy pickup at the Bodega just in Progreso before you head East to the house. The house is beautiful and settled on the beach with an amazing view of the Gulf. In the mornings, the calm of the sea, and all the birds are so fun to watch. You can walk out into the gulf waste high for about 1/8 mile. The water is like bath water and there are fish everywhere! The shells are all over the beach. It’s lovely. The pool is changed out as needed and is clear and cool. Vincente the grounds keeper ensures all is well. It’s a quiet area and the last house on the end of the road. A short ways down the beach is an eco hotel where you can rent out wave runners, paddle boards, etc. We stayed for two weeks and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The host Violeta was very professional and responsive to any needs or questions we had and communicated immediately to Rodolfo to assist us. The beds were comfortable and the afternoon breeze is a lovely change to a hot day in the sun. The house is much larger than we envisioned which was a lovely surprise. We fell in love with the area mostly because of this lovely home. There are so many things you can do in all directions- pyramids, fishing villages, flamingos, cenotes, and Merida (40 Mins away) is the oldest city in Mexico. You can shop at Costco or spend the afternoon in el Centro, taking in the old structures or the Many restaurants and shops. We highly recommend you stay here. We certainly will be returning! Thank you for a wonderful vacation in San Benito.

Beautiful property right on the beach

Violet and Jorge were wonderful hosts. The house is spacious and very clean. Bedrooms are large with 3 of the 4 having ensuites. Very large patio with a pool and a sandy area next to the pool. Beach is only a few steps down from the pool. The kitchen has a large fridge, gas stove and plenty of cabinets. Just down the beach is a nice restaurant in a resort. Car is needed for grocery shopping. Highly recommend this property. You'll never want to leave.

Renter Beware

I found the property to be very uncomfortable - beds are hard, no view of the gulf, there are sticks in the cement walk that prevent you from seeing the beach. No A/C in the bedrooms, the air was so still the first night we were there, we could not sleep. The ceiling fans were not any help. (No floor fans available) The pool is a 10x10 dipping pool. Half of that is a wading pool. No sure how they took pictures of the gulf and pool. There is a bistro set on the patio but you could not spend the day in comfort out there - there is no other furniture outside. Also, there is no internet. We found another house nearby for the same price with A/C. Internet, and 40x12 filtered pool, and a great view of the gulf with nice outdoor furniture. In the owner's defense, she states in the contract "No refund" - She is a woman of her word. All I'm saying in this review is read all the descriptions and make sure you are not confused by reading all the ads. You can easily become confused. Before you rent, take your list of what you want in your vacation rental and check it off with the ad, and with the owner in writing before you give up your hard-earned money. The Yucatan is a magicalplace and I will visit again - I will use a local property manager to rent from again. You do have some recourse with them.

Very nice stay at Maya House

We spent 3 weeks in february 2013 at this location, just two of us on a romantic escapade. If you are looking for privacy this is the place as there are no neighbours close by and very few people walking on the beach. The house has a fabulous covered porch overlooking the pool and the Gulf of Mexico....each morning we'd have a coffee staring out on the horizon. No construction nearby, and a brand new marina just opened up 2 minutes away, renting windsurfing boards and catamarans. There is an endless parade of pelicans and seagulls diving for unsuspecting fish all over the place. The master bedroom is quite nice and spacious, bed is hard by our standards so I suggest a memory foam mattress topper to get a good night rest. The living room is comfortable, the kitchen old but functional. The pool is small but very refreshing, though the water is not filtered but flushed every week along with chlorine pucks. There is a constant breeze that fills the house day and night. Not a moment did we not feel safe despite Mexico's crime situation. Lots of police presence on the highways through checkpoints; always let us pass with a smile. Walter, the housekeeper, is a very nice man and even though my broken Spanish met his lack of English, we managed to communicate effectively. Internet service through a Telcel USB stick on the laptop is marginal and slow, don't expect Skype to work. Progreso is 25 km away, Merida 60 km away. The beach is endless but litterally covered with seaweeds, apparently normal in the winter. Bring bugspray for beach walking as sand fleas are present. The slope into the water is super gentle and fully sand covered with a sandbar near surface about 100 meters away. Overall we had a fantastic stay and will renew this experience every winter :)
