Casa Ixtul is your home away from home & a 3 minute walk to the beautiful beaches of Chuburna Pto. It is a place where you can unplug, recharge and reconnect with the beauty of the local Yucatecan environment.
Chuburna is a tiny fishing village with approx. 2800 residents.
Every detail about Casa Ixtul has been carefully curated to ensure a relaxing and restful stay.
Stay a few days, a week or two at Casa Ixtul. The longer you stay, the more you relax and reconnect with yourself and nature.
The space
Play, relaxation or work, Casa Ixtul has you covered!
If work is something you need to do while staying at the casa, Casa Ixtul is ready for that as well! With Fiber optic internet providing reliable, high speed connections, you can work remotely and still perform all the internet connected requirements of your work.
When it's time to relax, you can lounge by, or in, the filtered pool while enjoying the sounds of the many birds and gentle breezes flowing through the palm trees. At night the yard is lit up by the many different accent lights that bathe the entire property in soft, warm light making for a serene, romantic place to enjoy food and beverages. The many screened French doors (7) allow the most amazing breezes throughout the property and really embody the outdoors as an extension of the interior.
When it's time to call it a day, you can relax on the sofa and watch the latest movies on the complimentary NetFlix and Amazon Prime video on the large flat screen TV.
The bedrooms (1 King bed and 1 Queen bed, both with ensuite bathrooms) are located at opposite ends of the house for complete tranquility and privacy if traveling with friends or family. Their state-of-the-art mattresses will envelop you and provide the most relaxing sleep after a long day. The primary bedroom has a 32" Smart TV with Netflix and Amazon Prime Video.
The spa-like bathrooms offer large spaces for getting ready and the large closet areas can easily store your suitcases and clothing for extended stays.
If the beach is calling your name, then it's just a short 3-4 minute walk to the best beaches along the Emerald Coast. If you are lucky, you may spot turtles hatching or some of the many dolphins swimming by as they welcome you to this beautiful Maya location. We offer beach chairs, a small soft portable cooler, and beach towels.
The house is named after a Maya religious site that was once close by on the beach. Ixtul is Rabbit in the Maya language and it will bring great luck with your stay here.
The property was architecturally designed to be at one with nature here in the Yucatan. To that end, the water is ground sourced from the same waters as the cenotes, all appliances are low consumption (no gas), lighting is all LED and although we get our power from the grid, almost 100% of it is offset by the many solar panels on the roof.
**Please be mindful of making loud noise especially during the hours of 11 pm - 8 am due to the surrounding neighbours and nature.**
Guest access
The whole house is for guests. The property was specifically designed and built to be a vacation property to enjoy the surrounding area.
Other things to note
Casa Ixtul is meticulously maintained by the owners and it includes a water softner, reverse osmosis water system which supplies purified drinking water, pressurized water, and hot water.
Beach supplies: We offer beach chairs, small soft beach cooler, and beach towels. Beach umbrellas can be purchased at Bodega Aurera in Progreso as long as they are in stock.
***Saturday/Sundays tend to be busier days for Mexican families at the beach and there may be extra traffic and noise. ***
Due to our location right on the Gulf of Mexico and its weather systems, it is possible to experience the occasional power outage during a storm (or even just on a sunny day 😀).
Don't worry though as Casa Ixtul now has a whole house battery back-up system installed that works in conjunction with the solar system to provide silent power to the house in the event of a power outage.
This system instantly engages automatically and ensures you will have lights, fans, internet, fridge, cooking and water if the utility power fails. Please note that this will not power the air conditioners but will ensure you can be comfortable for hours in the event of a sustained outage.
We love and value the comfort of our guests and want to provide the best experience possible during your stay.
