Historic Beachfront Home WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE

Beautiful spot on the beach with a refreshing pool, great hosts, and a taste of simple Mexico life. Marty was so accommodating and went out of his way to ensure we had a great stay. His friend Betty brought over delicious food, her son Marcos chatted with us about his hometown, and the weather stayed hot and sunny. Great way to wxperi nice the laid back lifestyle of Mexico with more privacy and authenticty than we could hope for.

Great property!

Our stay was very relaxing and enjoyful. The owner and his family were very welcoming and friendly. Beautyful nature around

The property was just as described and well maintained. The beach was only steps away and beautiful. Only a short walk to town by beach or street. Sisal is a very quiet little village, but you’ll find a couple of good restaurants and stores that should meet most of your needs. There is a Walmart at Caucel, on the edge of Merida, if you need more. Marty was always available by phone when we needed anything and so gracious. Betty was a delight and a good cook. Marcos was very helpful and fluent in English. The week passed way too quickly.

It was our first time in Sisal and we had an amazing 10 days at Marty’s place. The house is right on the beach and it has everything that you could possible need. Most importantly, we felt safe at all times and knew we could go next door to ask Marty any questions we had. The rental is incredibly clean and we honestly hope to go back someday.

Sisal is a quiet little seaside town, not yet as fully developed as, say, Progresso, into a tourist destination. That may be changing however, as there is a lot of construction beginning to happen. This property, Sisal sur Mer, is ideally located right on the beach, a quarter mile east of the central part of Sisal. The neighbourhood is generally quiet except occasionally on weekends when locals from Merida tend to arrive. The house itself is a lovely reminder of the Spanish colonial days, but has been updated with modern appliances and conveniences, Wifi is super fast. Beds are comfortable. The pool is delightful. And of course, the beach and ocean swimming was wonderful. But the most praise is reserved for the hospitality of Marty, our host, who lives next-door, and for Betty and her son, Marcos, two locals who also live in the compound. Marty was very prompt in responding to a couple of minor problems, and Betty was so very helpful when we needed assistance finding medical care. She also was periodically providing us with her home cooking throughout our stay, and we will remember a great night when we accompanied her and her son to Sisal's last night Carnival celebrations. She is a gem. Our only recommendations for improvements are comfier living room furniture (softer upholstered chairs would be nice), and maybe a few wall hangings on the bare stucco walls to improve the acoustics of the rooms. All in all, this was a great place spend a month in late winter.

The Sisal Hacienda is right on the most glorious beach you could hope for. We had the beach practically to ourselves, marvelling at the literally thousands of flamingos flying overhead to their breeding grounds in the lagoons of the Sisal nature reserve. The bird life is amazing, with beautiful brown pelicans and seabirds diving into the turquoise water right in front of the beach house. The white sand beach is very clean, with a shallow, sandy entrance and calm waters. Walk 5 minutes down the beach to the beach bar and pier, perfect for watching the sunset. Our hosts were so helpful and generous. They helped us set up our guided day trip to the nature reserve, navigate shopping and even welcomed us with 2 beautiful home-cooked meals. The house is spacious, comfortable and clean. We cooked quite a few meals and the kitchen is very well-equipped. There is a swimming pool great for cooling off and the kids had a ball in the pool. There are a bunch of coconut palms on the property and our kids spent many joyful hours attempting to knock coconuts off the trees. Our hosts were so kind to machete them open and give the kids straws to drink the delicious coconut water. We visited a couple good restaurants in Sisal. Sisal is a peaceful, charming, sleepy seaside village unmarred by tourism or commercialization. What a gem of a place.

We had a blast! Best time just sitting on the back patio listening and watching the waves. Marty is welcoming and knowledgeable About anything we needed. And Markus and his family are the cherry on top! Spoiled us with delicious food!!! Showing us around!! Just a wonderful time! We will defiantly be back! .

We spent a blissful week after Christmas at this gorgeous property right on the beach in Sisal. The location is fantastic, right on the peaceful turquoise water and the town of Sisal is very quiet and the perfect antidote to the cold and hectic East Coast. Marty was a superb host and went above and beyond to make us feel at home: he suggested restaurants, helped us hire a fishing boat, found us Covid tests and more. We would highly recommend this property and love to return again soon. Thank you Marty for your generous hospitality!

Thanks, Marty! We had a great time surrounded in natural beauty and relaxed setting.
