Any apartments in Progreso, Yucatan?

I´m looking for a furnished 1 bedroom apartment in Progreso for from mid Feb. to mid April. I was there on a cruise ship and saw a lot of signs for rentals around town, but now when I look on the web I´m not finding much. Walk to town, and walk to the beach is what I had in mind, in the $600 to $700 range. THANKS! For any help you can offer.

Try the real estate people....www.tierrayucatan.com, www.mexintl.com. They look after rentals. The best way is to go there yourself, spend a couple of nights in a hotel, and look around.

You might also try websites locals often use to find apartments:
http://www.olx.com.mx
http://www.vivastreet.com.mx

Another possible place is a local expat site:

Thanks! I'll look at those sites. I'm trying to avoid the show-up and look approach. Be nice to have something lined up in advance. I have VERY little Spanish so this may be tricky.

Hola, I may have a lead for you. I was at a Christmas party at a small apartment complex on Calle 70 between 25y27 (check Google maps) 6-8 units all just remodeled. This is a really nice little place, everything is new, and it has a courtyard with a pool. It's just a couple of blocks to the beach, and maybe 6-7 blocks to the super market in the center of Progresso.
It's owned by the same family as the Intermaya Hotel on Calle 78, and they all speak English. Try an Email to hotelintermaya@hotmail.com I'll see if I can find a web address for you.

This condo is currently available. http://austin.craigslist.org/vac/3580100948.html

It is oceanfront and a very good value.

Thank guys, I booked this place http://www.airbnb.com/rooms/866651 suggested by Mr. Burns.
If it's as nice as the pictures, I am set. I'll post a trip report once I get settled in Progreso.

Looks very nice but out of the price range you mentioned. But it definitely looks better than the one on craigslist. That one didnt even look good in the photos!

I've been in Progreso 3 weeks now. RobertSDF at #7 above is right, I am paying just a little more than I was originally looking for, but the apartment I found is all inclusive, water, electricity, cable TV, and WiFi all included in the rent. Everything is brand new just like in the photos, perfect location for me, and nice quiet complex. Oh, and the weather here is great!
