Amazing vacation

Great house on the beach in Chelem. Although we had a few minor issues, Miguel was only a phone call away and was always helpful. Waking up to the ocean and enjoying the pool and private sandy backyard was amazing. If you want a quiet vacation in a very friendly town.....this is a great choice! Omar the host was great at communicating and always responded promptly. Loved our time there. A vacation we will always remember. Thank you Omar!

Large house, 4 bedrooms-each with a private bathroom. One half bathroom in the main living room. The living room/dining room and kitchen were a large open gathering space that open to the patio and overlook the beach. Great for large gatherings and good space for large families. All bathrooms functioned with no problems. The kitchen was well stocked with almost everything. There is a full size washer/dryer on site which is very convenient since we utilized the pool/local beaches and cenotes frequently. The pool is larger than most private ones and in good condition. We only encountered a couple difficulties. There was a strong odor from the sewer in one of the bedrooms, this unfortunately, is common in Mexico and not something that the owner is able to fix. He was very nice and had a lady come clean the bedroom and bathroom to try and reduce the smell, which was generous of him. Like most private Mexico rentals, the whole place could use a thorough cleaning, but we bought cleaning supplies at the local store. Also the main contact person, Miguel is Spanish speaking only. This was not difficult for us since my daughter and son in law speak Spanish, but for others it may prove to be difficult. Both Omar and Miguel were slow to respond to messages. When we first arrived, it was a little difficult to get ahold of Omar to get the address of the property and Miguels info. The property is managed by Miguel who met us there to provide keys. Overall, good stay.

30th anniversary with family and freinds

My wife and i spent six weeks in this wonderful home to celebrate our 30th anniversary. This home was just everything it was suppose to be, our three children came down for two weeks and a couple of friends for the same time period with lots of room for everyone. The local people of Chelem were all very friendly with lots of local restaurants within walking distance all at a very reasonable price for meals and drinks, we did rent a car which is advisable if you wish to travel to Merida or Progresso for any shopping which there is lots of or a different style of dining.Over all i can say it was the best place for a quiet and enjoyable vacation....

Do NOT stay here!

We booked this property for a 3 week family holiday. Arrived to find an absolute disaster. Someone has definitely been squatting there. SO dirty I didn’t even want to sit on anything, let alone sleep in a bed. Mould on the walls, the ceiling is peeling off, holes in the wall, stains/body fluids on the living room furniture, broken furniture, you can smell the mould everywhere. I will say that the owner and VRBO were amazing and refunded my $ right away. I was shocked to see it still available as a rental tho and this is why I am writing this review. It needs a lot of repairs inside and out. There is no palapa for shade and the kayaks are broken as well as all the lounge chairs. Just a warning that it will take something to get this property liveable again. VRBO needs to check this out further but if you really want to stay here I would ask for photo proof of the repairs and cleanliness first.

With the pandemic and health issues the house was abandoned. The staff didn’t take care of the property. We took care of it. It’s not a four season hotel but a house you can have fun with your family. Some people don’t understand what to have a house in front of the ocean implies in terms of maintenance. We built a new concrete palapa and have a dehumidifier to keep the walls mold free. Changed faucets, fence etc.

Do not rent, you will be disappointed, like we were.

The house is in a sad condition, every fixture is either corroded or rusted beyond repair.This house has 4.5 bathrooms, and every single shower is moldy and dirty and stained to the point where we all ended up using the same least dirty shower the whole entire time. We were very heartbroken to find that the pictures on VRBO where taken from a time where the house was in better shape, the shaded area on the deck off of the king size bedroom no longer exists, the same as thatched roof shaded area at the bottom of the property is no longer there so there was minimal shade in 38 C weather. The pool was dirty and not just surface dirty, it looks like it has never been vacuumed or had the filter clean for a very long time. The pool chairs and pool furniture were broken and dirty to the point that couldn't be used at all. The little amenities promised were not available on the property, volleyball, floaties, there was no way to listen to music at the house, the internet would not work past dinner time, so no Netflix or watching any TV. The house has a terrible smell of humidity, I understand the location makes it difficult to control but we visited other places that didn't smell like that. We had to make the best of our holiday given the condition of the house but this house should not be listed, by the owner's admission he doesn't visit it often, maybe once a year and it shows.

Yes we basically abandoned the house for a couple of years due to covid and dealing with health issues along with VRBO not paying us for the last 8 renters. Gladly I didn’t die so I’m back on track changing faucets and making new front concrete palapa and so on. Mending mistakes and bad staff. It will be ready for new satisfied renters pretty soon :)

Total scam

We book this property in December 2021. The smell of humidity was really strong. We went to other rooms to open the windows and what we found was unbelievable. There was a sofa in one of the bedrooms that was son dirty it looked like animals had been sleeping there. The bed sheets were old and dirty. Some had stains. The bathrooms were dirty and in poor condition as was the whole house. The worst, one of the beds had dead cockroaches on the pillows. That was the last straw. We called Vrbo and after talking to 5 agents and repeating the same story over and over we got reimbursed. This house should be removed from your platform. This house is not apt to live in.

With the pandemic the house stopped being rented for more then a year and a half until you came. We live far away from the area so no way we can check the house but once a year. I’m sure the local staff members with very low standards of cleanliness were using the house without our permission. My apologies to you and your family and as you stated you were fully refunded at the time you decided to relocate. Nowadays I request at least pictures of the house before it is rented to somebody. Not an easy task to take care of a house at a distance.

Very spacious house but cleanliness could be better

Our family of 14 gathered at Omar house and had a good time over there, the house is very spacious and even fit another 4 ppl for two nights, kitchen is very well equipped and we were able to cook multiple meals over there PROS: Location just a block away from grocery stores and restaurants to get good food if you are not in the mood for cooking, beach front and pool that was very handy to keep the kids busy during the day, kayak and paddle board was a super plus that have the oldest ones entertained, tons of towels to be using during the day and the fact that there is a washer and dryer give us the ability to have fresh ones everyday, also life jackets were available to keep everybody safe at the water. CONS: It seemed the house has not been occupied for a long time and it was not very clean when we arrived with a lot of signs of humidity on the bathrooms and lower room, we arrived in a rainy night and the two rooms at the 1st flood had water coming into the windows, we call the admin who was supposed to put silicon on the windows but that did not happen and we ended up having water ingress again the next day and drying the floors to keep it clean, the room on the 1st floor has also a deep sewer smell coming from the shower; AC in master bedroom did not work (admin came the next day to have a look and fixed temporarily but failed again) the house also needs to be fumigated Overall a good experienced and great time for everybody despite the cons we experienced

Nice beachfront home in Chelem

We stayed here January 24th- Feb.2 2019. This home was very clean and had everything we needed for or stay. Miguel, was always there when we run into some questions and filled our water and gas. This home is very close to town, which we could walk a short distance to restaurants groceries, and the shuttle to Progreso. I would suggest flying into Merida. Saves time on your travel days. Thank you Omar for sharing your home with us.

Simply authentic and great! Basic life, full of pleasures.

Our 10 days familly holidays in Chelem at Omar's home is hard to forget, so it is to get back to winter in Canada. First, the house is exactly as shown on pictures. No surprise. Of all homes rented over the years, it was the most furnished kitchen I ever had. Having access to a juice extractor and pots, to tuppewares of multiple sizes and a blender faciliated enjoying day to day life: Fresh orange juice in the morning, pina colada and margarita, snack and cut fruits on the road, left overs.... Other special attentions are the number of chairs and hammock outside. Also, being able to connect our portable devices to the speaker enabled dance around the pool, on the beach.. in the house. Miguel was showing up every to check the house, ensuring eveything was fine . He was quite efficient at solving small issues ( need for additional sheets, gaz tank empty, crash course on how to light the oven....). We miss you Miguel. Chelem people are very kind and welcoming. We miss all these smiles, the daily Buenas dias. Meeting the fishermen and getting catch of the day was quite the highlight of the trip. Manuel is able to catch the best robalos ! I truly recommend this place. A small town with fresh and local fish, coconut pies (a must), tortillas..., far from stress and articifial life, close enough to Progreso for larger and specific needs and to outdoors activities (Maya sites, cenotes, flamingos...). Thanks Omar for having getting us the chance to discover this great place!

Isn't it a great place to be? We love it every time we stay there in the summer time. :) You capture in your words the essence of our beach house and most of all the nature of being at Chelem. Nature, simplicity and an authentic Mexico that has been lost in some other touristic places. I hope you make it back some time in the future! My wife and I will try to keep this house the best way possible ! Thank you very much for your feedback !

Amazing Home on the Beach!

We can't thank the Gonzales family enough for renting us their ocean front home for the month of January, 2015! We're just on our last couple days here now and would certainly recommend this property with a full 5 stars! The home is one of the nicest in Chelem and offers an excellent floor plan layout. We loved the kitchen that was stocked with everything we needed and offers tons of granite countertops including a large island with 6 highback chairs. The two main floor bedrooms are like dual masters with full ensuites and ocean views and we loved the breeze that flowed off the ocean each evening. All 4 bedrooms offer their own bathrooms and there is also a powder room off the main living area. We had great weather throughout the month with average temps being 80F and the house stayed at a comfortable 70-72F without any air, just a nice breeze off the ocean. The entire home is gated and fenced and we certainly felt very safe here too. All the people here in Chelem and Progresso were VERY friendly both day and night and we were always greeted with smiles and hellos where ever we went. The pool was refreshing on the hotter, full sun days and the entire main floor is perched above the main beach to provide excellent views and there was always an ample amount of sun and shade if required. We hosted some friends here for a week during the month and they really enjoyed themselves too. We made some friends with the local fisherman that moored their boats next to the property and we had a fresh supply of fish and lobster that we enjoyed almost daily! I'd recommend the fish & lobster from the market just two blocks up the road; Fresh Daily! Chelem also offers many restaurants, markets, a pharmacy and excellent transportation to Progresso. For just a few pesos we could catch an autobus to Progresso where there are larger shopping centers and more restaurants and shopping areas. We often enjoyed walking the Malecon there! We also enjoyed touring the sights such as ruins, 500 yr old buildings & churches and swimming in the cenotes. We would recommend staying here with 100% satisfaction. Cheers

I stayed with my family for two weeks and had a great time. Great place to relax, people in town are very friendly. great view, excellent weather, calm sea. It's just 30 minutes away from the city of Merida. If you're looking for a time to relax in the beach without losing any commodities and without the crowdiness of five star hotels, this place is for you!

About the host

Hosted by Omar Gonzalez

Host profile image
This is our first beach house we own. We love it more and more.
It is very difficult not to fall in love with this little town !
We are there every summer no matter what. At least 3 weeks.

Why they chose this property

Family oriented; non touristic area; best location, views and ocean sound.
When I saw the location of this house in a corner with 70 feet wide lot, right in front of the beach I decided to buy it and remodel it.
We are staying there every summer and we really loved it !

What makes this property unique

No rush; pure peace and tranquility; easy ocean sounds; a place to relax and enjoy life. Of course if you want to do more? Merida is just 25 minutes away. The pyramids, sink holes; and many historic and pre-historic areas are very close.
We have a great wave runner for rental and also a minivan that can be also rented for an added fun and to traveling around easier.
