Description of the Sisal vacation cottage rental

Beach-front house in Sisal, Yucatan. Sisal is a typical
fishing village, is a nice place to escape from the city and relax.
Located 55km from Merida, 1hr driving.

The house is one bedroom, with a spacious kitchen, living room, bathroom.
It's 120 square meters, a 4x6mts palapa to provide shadow for a car.
Beach in Sisal is wide, there are about 110yards of sandy beach between the cottage and the sea.
There is regular bus service between Sisal and Merida.
A few canadians have discovered Sisal and are chossing it as a living place for winter.

Refrigerator, microwave, coffemaker, fans on ceiling, electric shower, the room has air conditioning.

Satellite TV.
Furniture is like you see on the pictures, rustic and made of strong wood.
A futton is on the living room for extra visitors.

What you can expect:
Quiet place for relax and enjoy peace and tranquility, most of the time birds and sea waves are the only sound you can hear.
Good fresh seafood- being a fishing village its easy to get good food either for cook or already prepared for you.
Sunshine- lots of it.
Scuba diving, snorkeling.
Contact with nature- Sisal is not a spoiled place, you can have close contact with untouched nature, flamingoes and other varieties of birds. There are crocodiles that you can see in the wild.
The bedroom has air conditioning.

What not to expect:
Not crowds around, just a few locals from Merida on weekends.
Not superstores in town, there are small stores in the village where you can do your grocery.
Since Sisal is not known by tourists, there aren't structured activities, you do everything on your own.
Temperature is 30C at noon, goes down to 18C early in the morning in winter, humidity is high most of the time.
English is an exotic language here, so don't expect anyone speak such language, be ready to practice your spanish or maya language.

Sisal is a very safe place, practically there´s not crime in town.

 Perfect, May 1, 2008

By Maggie Hall (Washington, DC)

We rented mid-Jan to mid-March, 2008 - and could not have been happier. We loved the house and its location: right on the beach and a five minute stroll into the village. Owner Ricardo has painted a very accurate picture of Sisal. This "undiscovered" fishing coummunity is not for everyone! But if your idea of perfection is no gift shops, no t-shirts, and not many people like yourself around, then go for it. We returned home feeling that we had experienced a very special slice of Mexican life.
