Chill in Chelem

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at La Casa del Xix. Jose and his wife Maria Elena greeted us at our arrival and waved us good-bye at our departure and were incredibly helpful throughout our stay. The property is charming, the pool fabulous, the palapa a perfect place to hang out, the beach only steps away and the WiFi worked great. Not so great was the water pressure in the showers and the kitchen equipment is very basic, but functional. The property is part of two other houses that share parking space with La Casa del Xix, and the palapa and pool are facing that common area but we never felt a lack of privacy. So, if you are looking for a laid back no frills vacation--this is your place.

Great outdoor space

Steps away from the beach but not on the beach so no ocean views but plenty of outdoor spaces to relax. Comfortable beds, Upstairs bedroom is a loft up a spiral staircase. Come prepared with cooking supplies and toilet paper (no extras), no coffee or basics provided. Local artisan market on Tuesdays in Chelum was fun, local restaurant in Chelum Cristo Rey was fantastic. The beach by the marina in Churburna was the best beach for sunsets and walking with easy parking and walking on the beach.

La Casa del Xix for a week

We had a fantastic stay at La Casa del Xix. The palapa and Mayan pool were absolutely beautiful and we spent hours outside rocking in the chairs and swinging in the chair hammock. The pool was refreshing and cool, perfect for a dip after walking on the beach which was steps away. The house was exactly as it appears in the photos…gorgeous! Everything necessary was provided and we cooked almost all of our own meals. It was a very relaxing and rejuvenating vacation. Our host family of Jose, Maria Elena, Hiram and Josefina were very warm and welcoming. They met us upon our arrival and provided invaluable information to make our stay easy and comfortable. It was the perfect getaway!

Great place in Yukutan

Amazing, private house with pool in a quiet town a short walk to the beach and a short drive to a prime swimming beach past Chuburna. Also a short drive to the Progresso boardwalk and beach. Near the city of Merida and lots of amazing ruins all over the Yukutan. Also lots of cenotes, which fabulous freshwater springs you can swim in.

Quaint Chelem Villa

Quirky and charming villa in Chelem close to public beach. Jose was a pleasure to communicate with and was very responsive. The house is great and the palapa is wonderful! I do wish it was a bit more private as the palapa and pool are at the front of the house which is also the parking area that is shared with 2 other houses. The house is a very short walk to the beach along the public access route that runs along side the property. As noted in the listing only the downstairs bedroom has AC, but the loft bedroom gets plenty of air flow through the sliding door to keep you cool at night. We did have a small ant problem so Jose provided some spray to use.

My wife 2 sons ( 17 and 8 years old) and I stayed in this beautiful home for a little over a week. The house is very comfortable, quiet, surprisingly private, great amenities, comfortable beds, great water pressure, satellite tv, well supplied kitchen, beautiful terraces, beautifully landscaped with coconut filled palms, and more. Jose and family are wonderful hosts !!!! Gave great recommendations on restaurants in Chelem. We will definitely stay again . Thank you 😊 Shawn & Zuleyma Stryker

A peaceful and homey oasis

The lack of five stars above on location and neighborhood only because this beautiful and comfortable oasis is hard to find in the dark, even with Jose's good directions. We advise arriving during daylight, if possible, but oh, the joy of arriving!! Jose and his family were there to welcome us with "Welcome to your home!" We delighted in the cleanliness, the private pool and patio and a well-equipped kitchen. The beach nearby is not a place to hang out; it tends to be windy and a lot of breakwaters are there. BUT there are many beaches to explore within easy driving distance. We enjoyed many hours of sitting and reading in the shade of the thatched roof patio. Great internet, too, if you are into that sort of thing. We felt very safe.

A wonderful house in a quiet area

We had a wonderful stay at LA CASA DEL XIX. The house is superb, well equipped, 3 steps from the sea and located in a quiet area. Chelem is not developed yet, so this is not a touristic destination. If you are looking to rest or for privacy, it is a great destination. Shopping and groceries can be done in Prospero, a small city near by. Our family had a very great time !

Beautiful beach house

Our stay at the Casa Del Xix beach house was relaxing, fun, very comfortable and beautiful. We enjoyed using the front sitting area to eat breakfast and loved soaking in the gorgeous pool view throughout our time there. the top floor terrace was wonderful for watching the sunsets or star gazing at night. The accommodations were lovely and we leave already looking forward to the next time we return for a longer period of time.

A beautifully designed home on the beach

You will feel very comfortable at this house. José does everything possible to make sure you have everything you need. My favorite part of the house is that it is off the beach a ways, we stayed in late January and the wind was strong, but we were protected and comfortable. The palapa is beautiful and the pool is nice and cold. There are many places to sit and beautiful palm trees for shade. Chelem is a quiet town but there is an American owned restaurant called the bullpen and on the weekends a rock n roll cover band at El Martini. Not to mention all the cenotes, ruins and Mérida. We were very happy here and wish we had had more time
