Great location and owner
Overall we enjoyed this property! The backyard was beautiful and the pool and table tennis were great to retreat from the afternoon heat. The bedrooms were good size and having newer furniture in the living room with a TV that had preprogrammed streaming apps was a great touch. Lastly, the owner was very accommodating and quickly worked through some issues we found and even made an adjustment to our stay that he was not required to and was most appreciated. Ken also provided a water cooler tank so we had fresh water upon arrival.
That being said, we had some challenges but they might have been more us being first timers in the Yucatan than what is fair to criticize the owner or his property. We were cautioned to throw away our toilet paper instead of flushing because the house is on septic and not public water works which is likely more of a Yucatan standard but it was a little jarring to encounter that. There is only A/C in the bedrooms and the living area was always very hot and humid so we could not spend time in the living room without fans running full speed and even then it was not a relaxing space so we retreated to the bedrooms or pool most of the time. The garage was a very tight fit for our Dodge Journey which is a small SUV but it worked after folding in the sideview mirrors. The shower off the master suite took about 10 minutes for the water to be warm enough to shower. Again, these are likely standards of the Yucatan but something worth noting from an American.
