Summary: We truly enjoyed staying in your beautiful vacation home. It was well stocked to be comfortable for 10 days - from beach towels, drinking water, sheets, pillows. Refrigerator is large & clean. In fact, the entire house was very clean smelling. We had a few hiccups the night we arrived, the host that toured the home was a fill-in therefore did not know much bout anything & left us confused because he did not have any answers to our questions. Once we got a nights rest, the owner contacted us & was lovely explaining & answering all of our questions & concerns. Everything ran smoothly. The bed is comfortable, A/C ran perfectly. The beach view is absolutely stunning! The pool is perfect. The patio is perfect to enjoy the sunset & rise. Neighborhood is quiet. There was some mild construction next door & the workers were very mindful of noise. We had no issues. Parking is private & secure. Everything about this home felt safe, & comfortable, especially the memories both my hubs & I enjoyed celebrating my Birthday. You won't have any trouble finding fabulous culinary in this city. People are lovely & respectful of tourists. You won't regret staying here! The beach is literally 10 steps away from the patio, private beachy happiness is priceless. Driving in this city is also easy & everyone is on beach time. We truly enjoyed this little piece of paradise. One suggestion I would give is turning on the A/C prior to guests arriving so you don't have grumpy hangry guests after travel. :)

Summary: The location of the house El Escondite Perfecto is exactly as it seems. You are on the beach, literally 10 steps from the water ! We spent two relaxing weeks and never tired of looking out at the ocean (gulf) from the living room, kitchen, one of the bedrooms and of course the deck of the pool. We loved listening to the waves and watching the often spectacular sunsets from the roof or pool side deck. Priscilla, the property manager, is really nice and super helpful and resourceful. The house is clean, organized, had towels for twenty and a well equipped kitchen. The AC was great and needed. Merida, which we loved is only a 40 minute drive away as well. Life is full of decisions, some of which are difficult. It's nice when the decision is: pool or ocean or both.

Summary: This is a two-part review, the rental and the town of Chelem. The rental was just as pictured: clean, spacious, well-stocked, right on the Gulf and at a great price. Andy the caretaker and Andi the owner were both easy to work with and accommodating. We had a death in our family and had to postpone our trip for a week and they allowed us to change our reservation with no penalties. Andy was always available when/if we needed anything. So I would give the actual rental a decent rating. On the other hand, the town of Chelem and the areas adjacent to the rental were pretty run down. Some of the nearby rentals were in good shape and undergoing renovation, but most of the areas in the neighborhood and in the center of Chelem were shabby. My husband ran almost every day and was often pursued by random dogs of questionable intent. Also, there are three dogs adjacent to the rental that growl and bark wildly almost every time you leave the property and lock the gate. In addition, Chelem is far from other places you might want to visit like Progreso, Chuburna, Merida, or Celestun. So for us, a car was absolutely essential, but avoid at all costs Nucar (American) and rent from a company at the airport. Be advised that driving is harrowing with narrow roads, huge speed bumps, lots of motorcycles and wild traffic. We stayed for a month, but if you're looking for a shorter vacation to sit by the pool or play in the waves of the Gulf, this would definitely be a place to consider.

Summary: Wow! Oceanside, Pool, Great Kitchen, A/C in kitchen/living room, and both bedrooms, fans in all rooms ~ a fantastic property to unwind, go for walks and just chill out. Laundry was a plus for sure! Great outdoor living space by the pool with a large table and chairs. Watch the Pelicans diving, bird life and local fisherman. Excellent kitchen space to cook for yourself or family. Large Fridge and Freezer with ice maker. Filtered water was a great, so you aren't hauling bottles of water in. Hot water always worked, some natural area hard water causes some clogging of spouts, but to be expected with oceanside and rural Mexico living. Rooftop access to watch the sunset was really sweet! Beautiful wall murals have been recently painted outdoors. Palm tree's and flowers in the entry way. It is a short walk to the town square and grocery/fruteria's. Local bike taxi's, Colectivo's to Progreso and local towns, Bus to the big city of Merida all available in nearby Progreso. Uber can sometimes be available. So you can experience the 'Big' city of Merida, beach town vibe of Progreso, or chilled small town Chelem without renting a car if you choose. A great guide book at the home to help you learn about local area tips etc. Local fisherman available for home delivery of fish/prawns/lobster/crab meat. Property has great internet, large screen TV Local host's very connected and available for questions and helpful for local area tips.

Summary: Shelley and I enjoyed 4 and half months at this fantastic rental that has a million dollar view . The view every morning of the Gulf of Mexico alone makes this property worth every dollar. Andy and Karen were fabulous property managers who go out of their way to make sure all your needs are taken care of . Our stay in Chelem Yucatan was so enjoyable, we decided to buy a property and will be staying full time.

Summary: The first thing I'd like to say is that this property exceeded our expectations- AND, our expectations were pretty high. The amount of space to move around in this house is more than ample; it is far more spacious than even the pictures suggest. The kitchen is huge with room for several people to prep ingredients, make drinks, socialize etc. It is also equipped with every possible dish or appliance you could possible ask for. The living room, kitchen and bathroom have skylights which brighten up the space and contribute to its thoroughly cheery and charming beach decor. As for the front pool deck, I must admit that this area was also quite a lot larger than I expected, including the pool. The incredible beach is at your doorstep so, you can conveniently make the choice to dip your toes in the gulf, take a break in the shade of the deck or indulge in the sun exposed pool. Sunsets are spectacular either from the beach, the deck or the rooftop viewpoint. Again, the choice is yours! Town is a quick jaunt away and if it's too hot, even quicker with a tuk tuk ride from David who will come and pick you up and take you home from the Chelem/Chuburna area. Last but certainly not least, Andrew and Karen were exceptional property managers. They are down to earth and lovely and are Incredibly prompt with any concerns. All in all, we will definitely stay again upon return to the area. What an absolute treat it was :) Thanks for everything, Andy and Karen!!
