MARLIN your beachfront house to relax & enjoy

Email us we will help you contact a friend for a house as great as 
ours if its not avaliable on your dates!!

Beautiful and comfortable, located 40 minutes from Mérida, 15 from 
Progreso and 10 from village of Chicxulub or Telchac and 4 hours 
from Cancun.

Flamingo watching spot, deep sea fishing, golf, Mayan ruins and 
excellent sea food are just a few of the great things you will 
experience! 

The house sits on a quiet and very private neighborhood where you 
can enjoy the beach and breezes, palm trees, stars, spectacular 
sunrises and sunsets.
We are set off the beach which affords a wonderful view of the pool, 
dune and Gulf of Mexico. The beaches are wide, sandy and great for 
walking and sea shelling. Swimming is good all yearlong. The Gulf 
water is safe and swimming is good all yearlong. There are coral 
reefs a few meters away from the property excellent for snorkeling. 
For those who want more than the beach, there are many things to do 
and places to explore. Mayan ruins, cenotes, haciendas, and quaint 
little villages abound.  The gulf also offers fishing and kayaking.
The ocean breeze keeps the house cool all the time (sometimes with 
the help of the ceiling fans!!).  
In the evening you can sit out on the palapa, sip a Margarita, and 
watch the magnificent sunset.

Telchac Puerto is a small fisherman's village very safe where people 
are friendly and helpful and where you will feel at home in no time 
at all. There you can find a grocery store, bakery, hardware store, 
laundry services, a clinic, fruits and vegetables stands, several 
excellent seafood restaurants, fresh tortillas, fried fish stands, 
pay phones and an internet café also you can buy fresh just caught 
fish when the fishermen come in each morning. The town plaza is

a lively port town that cruise ships have recently discovered, you

pharmacies, bakeries, post offices, liquor stores, new movie

If you have a momentary longing for city life, Merida is just a 40 
minute drive there you can find many of the popular food and 
shopping chains found in Mexico's neighbors to the north: Costco, 
Home Depot, Wal-Mart, McDonalds, Chili’s -- you get the picture.  
But you certainly can avoid all of that in Merida if you choose.  In 
the squares and the Paseo de Montejo Avenue in the city centre you 
can experience the wonderful sights, sounds, shopping, and 
restaurants that this historical colonial city has to offer.  The 
people are very friendly and many speak English.

There is an international airport in Merida with direct flights from 
Huston, Mexico City and Miami. And another one in Cancun which is 
cheaper to fly there, but many people drive down from Canada and the 
US.  Having a car can make things easier.  
There is public transportation too (buses, vans and taxis), which 
you can use to move around in Progreso and Chicxulub, or to go to 
Mérida and move there.

A moderate climate all year. Our 'winter' is 62F to 75F, with clean
Ocean breezes and little traffic. Walking shorts are comfortable all
winter you won't need much clothing. Canadians and others from colder
climates winter here for months. Life is relaxed. Very little crime.
In all the places in Yucatan you will find friendly people and a 
peaceful atmosphere.

Canadians and Americans rent in the neighborhood throughout the 
year; in most cases, they enjoy their vacations here so much that 
they end up coming back every year.

Marcos, the guardian lives right behind and owns a small boat. He 
often goes out to the sea fishing.

A wonderful home base to see all the wonders of the Yucatan 
peninsula.
