Casa Saltwater Cowboy En La Playa - Beachfront Property | House in Chuburna Puerto
5 Bedroom House in Chuburna Puerto
An Authentic Beachfront Villa on the Gulf of Mexico
There are vacation rentals, and then there are homes with a story.
Welcome to Casa Saltwater Cowboy, one of the original beachfront villas on this quiet stretch of the Yucatán coast. Built in the 1950s and thoughtfully updated over the years, the home was designed long before modern beach houses became rows of low-ceiling concrete boxes. Here, soaring ceilings, generous gathering spaces, handcrafted Mexican details, and a relaxed coastal atmosphere invite you to slow down, reconnect, and experience the Gulf of Mexico at its own unhurried pace.
Whether you're planning a multi-generational family vacation, a reunion with friends, a fishing trip, or simply escaping winter for sunshine and sea breezes, Casa Saltwater Cowboy offers the rare combination of authentic Mexican architecture, privacy, and space for everyone to be together.
A Home Designed for Gathering
From the moment you walk through the private gates, you'll notice that this isn't a typical beach house.
The dramatic two-story living area, split-level design, expansive terraces, and high ceilings create a feeling of openness rarely found in newer construction. Every room was designed to capture natural light and the cooling Gulf breezes.
The villa comfortably accommodates up to 16 guests with 9 real beds spread across five spacious bedrooms.
Sleeping Arrangements
Main Floor
• Bedroom 1 – King Bed
• Bedroom 2 – Two Twin Beds
Upper Floor
• Bedroom 3 – Two Double (Matrimonial) Beds
• Bedroom 4 – Two Double (Matrimonial) Beds
• Bedroom 5 – Two Double (Matrimonial) Beds
Three full bathrooms make mornings easy, including one conveniently located beside the pool.
Authentic Mexican Character
Rather than replacing the home's original personality during renovations, we've carefully preserved it.
Throughout the villa you'll discover:
• Handcrafted Talavera sinks
• Traditional artisan tile
• Warm natural wood finishes
• Textured stucco walls
• Terracotta floors
• Natural stone
• Locally inspired artwork
These details celebrate the home's heritage while providing the comfort today's travelers appreciate.
This isn't a minimalist resort villa.
It's an authentic Yucatán beachfront home with character, warmth, and soul.
Beachfront Living
Step through the beachfront gate and you're only a few steps from the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
Spend your mornings enjoying coffee on the terrace while pelicans glide overhead.
Cast a fishing line from the nearby espolón.
Swim in the Gulf.
Search for shells.
Watch spectacular sunsets.
Or simply relax while listening to the waves.
Nature is part of everyday life here. Depending on the season, guests may spot dolphins offshore, rays near the beach, countless seabirds, and, on rare occasions, remarkable wildlife moments. During one guest's stay, sea turtle hatchlings emerged from a nest hidden beneath the beachfront terrace—an unforgettable reminder that this coastline remains wonderfully natural.
Because wildlife follows nature's schedule, these experiences can never be guaranteed, but they are part of what makes this stretch of coastline so special.
A Private Pool You'll Actually Use
Unlike many beachfront homes whose pools are fully exposed to the Gulf winds, our private swimming pool is located behind the house where it is naturally sheltered.
Even on breezy days, it's a comfortable place to swim, read, or spend the afternoon with family.
Evenings You'll Remember
As the day winds down, light the barbecue, gather beneath the covered terrace, or make your way to the rooftop lounge.
From here you'll enjoy panoramic views of both the Gulf of Mexico and the lagoon side of the peninsula.
Watch storms roll across the water.
Listen to the palms sway in the breeze.
Share a bottle of wine.
Or simply sit beneath the stars.
Some of our guests tell us these quiet evenings become their favorite memories.
A Kitchen Designed for Families
The fully equipped kitchen opens directly to the dining and living areas, making it easy for everyone to gather while meals are being prepared.
You'll find:
• Full-size refrigerator
• Six-burner propane stove with oven
• Coffee maker
• Traditional kettle
• Cookware
• Dishes and glassware
• Outdoor gas barbecue
Whether you're preparing breakfast before a day at the beach or hosting a family dinner after sunset, the layout encourages everyone to spend time together.

Discover the Real Yucatán
Casa Saltwater Cowboy is located between Chelem and Chuburná Puerto, in a traditional fishing village rather than a resort development.
Here you'll experience:
Morning fishing boats leaving before sunrise.
Fresh seafood.
Quiet beaches.
Friendly neighbors.
Sea breezes instead of traffic.
Life moves at a slower pace, and that's exactly why we love it.
If you're looking for all-inclusive entertainment, organized activities, and resort nightlife, this probably isn't the right destination.
If you're looking for authentic coastal Mexico, generous gathering spaces, peaceful beaches, and unforgettable sunsets, we think you'll feel right at home.
Important Information To Note
The entire property is reserved exclusively for your use during your stay.
The only exception is a small on-site casita that remains locked at all times. It is used exclusively by the owners for secure storage of personal belongings, is never occupied during guest stays, and is not part of the rental. Your privacy and exclusive use of the property are fully assured.
The villa is located in a genuine coastal community served by the local electrical utility (CFE). Like many areas along the Yucatán coast, occasional power fluctuations or temporary outages may occur during periods of exceptionally high demand.
To ensure your comfort, Casa Saltwater Cowboy is equipped with a fully automatic backup generator that starts approximately four minutes after a power interruption and shuts down automatically once utility service returns. The property also benefits from a substantial solar energy system.
Our Story
People often ask about the floatplane in our logo.
The name Casa Saltwater Cowboy was inspired by Dale's love of adventure. One of his sons decided his dad couldn't decide whether he belonged in a floatplane, on a fishing boat, or exploring the coast, so he affectionately nicknamed him the "Saltwater Cowboy."
The name stuck.
Today, it represents everything we love about this special place: the freedom of the sea, the spirit of adventure, and the joy of spending time with friends.
We hope that during your stay, Casa Saltwater Cowboy becomes part of your family's story as well.
