About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Summer and Fall Dates Available!

Our home is exactly what you're hoping for! Here are the 9 reasons this home stands out from the others.

1) TRULY BEACHFRONT. Not 'close to beachfront' or 'ocean view.' Your backyard is made of sand, and there is nothing between the house and the ocean except our own sandy beachfront 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: DirecTV (with all the premium movie channels) and Free Wireless Internet!

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 tiles 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, the 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) 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.

7) 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, or children, or just want to take a peaceful walk from your house, it may not be possible from many homes in this region. We also have a fenced-in backyard that provides a little extra peace of mind for those of us with pets and small children- no need to worry about them wandering off with the fenced-in yard!

Just a few 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 coasts, 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 backyard, and now we have the perfect home on the beach!

Our house was built to North American standards, including heavy construction, plenty 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 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 have an open floor plan. The kitchen has tile countertops, plenty of space, and a 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 backyard is the same. Feel free to take a nap on the sand under your beachfront 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 a 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!

A slice of paradise
Amazing, refreshing family holiday! We loved this quiet, private beach front property. Pool was well maintained. Property manager met us on initial check in! Great places to eat within walking distance and there was fruit and vegetables at a local market. Bedrooms (2) comfortable with air conditioner in each room. The locals were helpful and friendly.Would definitely recommend this site if you're looking for a relaxing, private getaway.

Quiet and relaxing
Chuburna is a small village. It is quiet and safe. You can walk to some restaurants. You will need a car to see the surrounding area and get supplies. The house is OK, needing a few repairs. It has what you need per appliances, dishes, linens, etc. Pool is great. Ocean is warm. Beach is very small but you can sit in the yard on sand. A few mosquitos at dusk, but not bad.

Not really this property
We had booked a 10 night stay, but overnight our second night there a storm took out the power line at the pole. Which needed the power company to fix. The property manager Li was awesome, and had us in a larger, still beachfront house within a couple hours and we had a nice vacation Li also arranged for a rental car for us and delivered it. Couldn’t ask for more

Slice of Paradise
The house and pool were wonderful. The beach area was small, but perfect for two people. The place is very quiet and very relaxing. Our flight was late in arriving on a Friday night but Lee was very patient waiting for us. The night we arrived the whole town was without power! The house was quite warm but once we opened up the sliding door and windows, it was tolerable. We spent a lot of time floating/swimming in the pool and ocean. The pool was very clean when we arrived and on Thursday of our stay the pool guy came and cleaned it up again. It gets very hot in the kitchen when you cook! The AC works well in the bedroom at night for a very comfortable nights sleep. The TV in the main bedroom did not work, but they are replacing it. The only thing I might suggest is putting in another ceiling fan/light right where the couch is. It got pretty warm in there at night while watching TV. Overall, this is a wonderful place to stay with great people to help you out with whatever you may need. I would highly recommend this property to anyone and I do look forward to returning here myself. It truly is a slice of PARADISE!

Wonderful 6 days❣️❣️
2 BR 2 bath perfect for the two of us. Clean. Had what we needed. Loved the back porch views. A little deceiving as there is not much beach. Morning low tide there’s a little. Has a cute iguana 🦎 that lives in a hole in the backyard. We’d rent again. Property mgmt company is excellent.

Stress-free week
My husband and I stayed for a week at Casa Pelicano. We were looking for a quiet spot with a nice pool and easy beach access. Casa Pelicano delivered - the pool was refreshing and only steps from the gulf. The neighborhood is quiet and safe, and close to the Chuburna town center. Also a short drive to the many restaurants in Chelem. The size of the house was perfect for the two of us, and Veronica (the property manager) was very responsive any time we needed to reach out. Overall I would recommend Casa Pelicano to couples looking for a restful beach vacation!

Great vacation time!
The property in General is great, the best part o the house is the pool and the beautiful view to the ocean. This made our days wonderful and also to ignore the little things I will improve from the house. As long as they take in consideration our observations it will make the house to receive 5 stars in all the areas. I think the house need a hand to remodelate some aspects of the house to keep it in shape which I already reported to Veronica. Actually Veronica who is the admin and took care of all of our requests shared with me that it is time to change the furniture of the house. Again it is very important to keep the furnitures in good conditions please to avoid any accident. Me and my family spent 9 wonderful days at this beach house. My last observation and this may be addressed with the local government is that the system to pick up the garbage is terrible, a lot of trash bags are sitting outside the houses of the town and it takes days for the truck to pick up the garbage. I visited other places or towns around Merida and they were very clean. For the town of Chuburna I highly recommend to address this issue with the local government since it makes the surrounding areas and towns look bad. Other than all the above I recommend this house to spend time with friends and family. The neighbors are really nice and gentle. Thanks Veronica and Gina for all your assistance and hope to visit your house again in one of our future trips to Merida.

Relaxing beach/pool retreat
My husband and I spent our anniversary here for 8 days, Gina the owner was very responsive and her on-site managers were right on top of things, met us at 8pm on a Saturday night to get us checked in. Gina recommended a service to drive to/from the airport, Carlos and Vikki at Expat Services made this really easy, I would highly recommend contacting them. The house itself is adequate, for the money a good deal, but I would have liked to have A/C in the living room, it was only in the bedrooms so at night when we wanted to watch some Movies, it was quite hot. One more unit in the living room would have made a big difference in my opinion. The master bed was comfortable, we slept great. The outdoors is where the property shines, the pool and beach were really nice, every morning we would go out and feed the fish in the built-in reefs, knee deep you can watch them and even feed out of your hands. Restaurants were great, there are probably 8 or so restaurants within a 5 block radius, we tried several and they were all really good, even had some lobster for lunch! Side note, before you go to the house, go to the store first, there is no shampoo or soap, or paper towels/napkins, we had to use the hand soap the first day in our shower. We left our stuff behind when we left so hopefully someone else could use it. Bugs were not a huge problem outdoors but bug spray was nice to have, we did end up using it as we got a couple of bites, but not nearly as bad as other places we’ve visited. Overall this is a great place and I would definitely return.

Wonderful winter getaway
This is a wonderful and very practical beach house located in a quiet and friendly town about 40 min away from Merida and 20 minutes from puerto progreso where you can drive for food supplies or to spend the day in el Malecón. The house is fully equipped, the kitchen with everything you need to cook on a daily basis. It has a great pool where you can cool off. Nothing beats the beautiful beach setting right in front of the pool... a few steps from the door of the house. The beach is beautiful and very calm in the mornings, just perfect for a morning swim or kayaking. It is additionally Filled with sea shells, something that the kids and I really enjoyed ! When we arrived we were met at the door by the administrator. She gave us a tour of the house and handed the keys and made herself available in case we needed anything. The house has an alarm system which makes you feel safe, although the town in itself is friendly and quiet and I believe it is a safe place on its own. The administrator and owner were friendly and on top of things when something was needed. My family and I really enjoyed our stay and would probably return to the same home should we decide to vacation again in Chuburna!
