Vacation Rental Description

Las Tunas is owned by the pioneers of beach rental homes in Telchac 
Puerto and also the owners of the leading tourist guide to the state 
of Yucatan "Yucatan Today." Check the website. 
 
The beach houses along the coast don't have numbered addresses or 
streets. They have names. You will find the names of the houses at the 
entrances. The name of our home is Las Tunas, which means prickly 
pears, of which there are several bunches on the property.  
  
Setting: 
Las Tunas house sits on a large, spacious (75 feet by 450 feet) beach front 
property on the Gulf of Mexico. We have no wall-to-wall neighbors. We are set 
off the beach which affords a wonderful view of  
the pool, dune and Gulf of Mexico. The decor in the house is  
whimsically eclectic and the sofas and chairs are comfortable!!  People 
who first enter our home, say, “this is paradise!” We also have lots  
of reading lamps throughout the house and on the night tables (not that common  
in Yucatecan beach homes.)  
 
Telchac Puerto is known for being small, slow and VERY safe where you 
will find the locals very friendly. Being such a small village, you 
will feel at home quickly, get to know the shop keepers and them you. 
 
The beaches are wide, sandy and great for walking. They are not  
crowded with fishing boats, other tourists, break water sticks  
every twenty feet and wall-to-wall houses like in Chicxulub and  
Progreso. Telchac Puerto is for people looking for a place that is  
more private and uncrowded. There are neighboring houses that may or  
may not be occupied depending on the time of year.  
 
Swimming is good all yearlong. The water is safe, clean Gulf water 
with no rocks, currents or ebb tides. It is very swimmer friendly. 
  
Some answers to frequently asked questions: 
 
We have AC (in one bedroom for an additional cost) and ceiling fans throughout the house.  
 
There is an international airport in Merida, with direct flights  
from Houston, Miami and Mexico City. It can be cheaper to fly into  
Cancun, rent a car there and drive over - about four hours.  
 
Having a car will make your stay much more enjoyable.

The pool, which over looks the Gulf of Mexico, has a shallow end perfect 
for children. There is a large round thatched roof palapa right next to 
the pool that has two hammocks - great for reading or siestas or water watching. 
There is nothing more perfect than standing in the pool, leaning against the  
edge and gazing out to the Gulf. 
 
Mexican clay floor tiles throughout the house.  
 
The caretaker, Lorenzo, can arrange fishing trips, show  
you around, light the grill and cleans the house once a week -  
which is included in the cost of the rental.

Activities and Attractions

Attractions: 
Miles of wide beaches, an unobstructed view of the Gulf of Mexico,  
varied seashells, the sounds of the birds, (flamingos, pelicans,  
ducks, osprey, eagles, kingfisher, etc.), the peace, tranquility and  
quietness that reign, and the fact that the house is near enough to  
other attractions (Mayan ruins, colonial cities) but far enough way  
to feel remote. 
 
Draw backs: 
No razzle dazzle, no discos, no neon signs, no traffic, no wild  
night life, no fine dining, no shopping malls or plazas, no hoards  
of tourists. Las Tunas is for people who are looking to get away  
from it all and have a “Mexican experience.” This is not a tourist  
trap destination. If you do want all the razzle-dazzle above, check  
out Cancun, Playa del Carmen or the Riviera Maya.  
 
Your next door neighbors: 
There usually aren’t any!! Our neighbors don’t use or rent their  
homes, adding to the peace and quiet of the area! Your back door  
neighbor, is Lorenzo, the caretaker, who lives in a separate  
bungalow.  
 
How you'd spend your free time: 
Reading, sun bathing, strolling on the beach, bird watching,  
collecting shells, relaxing in the pool, taking siestas in a  
hammock, going to the local harbor to buy fresh fish, going to the  
village market for produce, trying Yucatecan food that is sold  
cheaply, practicing your Spanish with the caretaker,  visiting the  
nearby Mayan pyramids of X-Cambo (10 mins. from the house) or  
Chichen Itza (1 hr. 20 minutes), Dzibichaltun (45 mins), Uxmal (1  
hour), the colonial city of Merida (1 hour), playing golf (45  
minutes), driving the back sandy roads of the village investigating,  
driving to the other nearby fishing villages, RELAXING. 
 
There is an international airport in Merida with direct flights from  
Houston, Miami and Mexico City. The Merida airport is one hour from 
the house. 
 
The village has a Main Plaza and tiny local market for fruits,  
veggies and meat; there are shops for other staples, a bakery,  
internet cafes, and several restaurants open for lunch (the main meal  
in Mexico.)One of the charms of Las Tunas is that there is a village  
just 3.5 kms away for shopping and errands.

Some comments we've received: 
 
Hola Judy, 
We will be leaving in about 45 minutes. 
Thanks again to you and JM for having the vision to create Las Tunas! 
Adios, 
Deborah  
 
Dear Judy, 
I wanted to let you know that we had a wonderful time at Las Tunas. 
What a magical place. We were very, very happy there. We arrived back 
in Houston this morning. One day a  family  hesitantly came  up the 
path asking if it was a hotel.They were looking for somewhere to rent 
in August. They were very nice people and I offered to show them the 
house.  They absolutely loved the house.  
Thank you very much Judy. 
regards, 
Julie 
 
Hi there Judy.  
The weather is bitter cold here in Alberta and the kids and I were  
looking at Las Tunas pix to warm up!!  I thought I'd share a few of  
our favorites from around the house and the pool.  We have such  
beautiful memories and are so greatful we got to visit and stay at  
your place.  Hope all is well, looks like the calendar is filling  
up!! 
  
Take care, 
Rayna Tupper
