This beautiful beach home in Progreso spoils its residents with a prime location and top amenities. It offers everything for an unforgettable stay in Yucatan’s most popular beach destination on the Gulf of Mexico. Situated on the front row of Progreso’s attractive new International Malecón, you can start your relaxed morning walks as soon as you exit the house through the electric gate. All the town’s main attractions are within easy walking distance.

From your terrace on the upper floor, you can enjoy the fantastic view of the sea and the long pier, where impressive cruise ships from different shipping companies regularly dock. Together with the beach on your doorstep, the terrace is the best place to contemplate the region’s spectacular sunsets every night.

For cooling off on hot summer days, besides a drink at a beach bar and a dip in the Gulf of Mexico, you can enjoy a bath in the large pool of the house, which is at the same time the center of the low-maintenance garden. The terrace with a palapa roof is also a good place to stay and relax.

The house can be divided into two independent residential units. On the upper floor, there is an apartment with a bathroom, kitchen, and a large terrace with a palapa roof, which can be reached via an artistically designed external staircase from the front yard as well as via an internal staircase.

The ground floor offers a large living and dining room, a fully equipped kitchen, a half bathroom, and two large bedrooms, each with an en-suite bathroom.

The house is equipped with ceiling fans throughout. In addition, all bedrooms are air-conditioned. Twelve solar panels keep electricity costs at a pleasantly low level even during the hot summer season. A gas-powered whole-home electricity generator will provide power to the entire house in the event of a power outage, and that for days if needed! Internet access is provided via cable.

LOCATION

Progreso, or Progreso de Castro as it is also known, is the main port city in Yucatán (Mexico). It was founded in 1872 as the port of Mérida and mainly served the export of sisal fibers and fishing. The city received its epithet after Juan Miguel de Castro († 1884), the main political proponent of port construction in the second half of the 19th century. With a population of more than 40,000, it is by far the largest city and cultural center on the coast that stretches from Chuburna Puerto to San Crisanto and is nowadays also called the “Yucatan Riviera”.

Progreso’s famous pier was built in the late 1930s. With a length of 6.5 kilometers, it is one of the longest in the world. Today, large container ships and, to the delight of residents and tourists, large cruise ships can anchor here. For information on the timetable of the impressive ocean liners and the cruise scene in general, simply click on the following link. CRUISE INFO

Besides its function as a port, Progreso is a very popular destination for tourists and, especially during vacations, for the residents of Mérida. The surrounding beaches are as popular as the remarkable Mayan ruins of Dzibilchaltún and Xcambó not far from Progreso. The hinterland is a paradise for nature lovers. The huge brackish water lagoon with its extensive mangrove forest is home to spectacular fauna and flora. Along with the majestic pelicans, the elegant flamingos are probably the most popular, and alligators are the rarest species to be found here.

While the hinterland is known for its humid climate, Progreso’s climate is classified as semi-arid due to its coastal location. Average temperatures vary a little, although the winter months are noticeably cooler from December to March. Rainfall is rare throughout the year but occurs more frequently from June to October. On average there are about 36 days with measurable precipitation.

In just 30 minutes you can reach Mérida, the prosperous capital of Yucatán, on the very well-developed four-lane highway. Mérida offers all the amenities and vibrant lifestyle of a modern city. Here you can visit the impressive historical center, dine in good restaurants, stroll down Mérida’s famous boulevard Paseo de Montejo, discover the numerous museums, theaters, and cinemas, and immerse yourself in Mayan culture. There is also nothing in the way of an extensive shopping tour. The modern shopping centers in the north of the city, such as La Isla Cabo Norte or Galerías Mérida, welcome you. In addition, many large North American retail chains, such as Costco, Wal-Mart, or Home Depot, have at least one store here.
