Yucatan Real Estate on the Gulf Coast; Cheap is the Word

Mitch Keenan has been working in the Yucatan Real Estate market for nearly 15 years.  Below is an article that has been printed in various publications regarding Mexico real estate along the beachfront.  Many zones of Mexico, including the Yucatan areas along the Gulf of Mexico have been attracting the attention of many Americans and Canadians.  Beautiful beaches, warm tropical breezes, and these Mexico beachfront lots are selling for less than $100,000!  The first part of the article listed below.

Imagine living in a beach house, the ocean at your doorstep, in a tranquil, laidback fishing port, where you can buy the morning’s catch right at the dock. Then imagine that the house is a convenient half-hour from a major metropolis that offers big-city amenities, from gourmet shopping to an international airport. Now imagine that you paid less than $100,000 for all that…
Sound too good to be true? Bargain-priced beach property is getting harder to find. That’s why the Yucatan Gulf coast is so special.
 The Yucatan Gulf coast runs along the top of the Yucatan Peninsula from the towns of Chuburna and  Chelem east to Dzilam de Bravo, a distance of about 50 miles. For much of this coast, the easiest way to get there is to take the highway north from Merida to Progreso, and then head east or west from Progreso along the coast. The trip from Merida to Progreso takes 30 minutes.
 Progreso, with a population of about 35,500, is the largest town on this stretch of coast and an appealing destination. It’s the port for the Yucatan Gulf coast and it’s also a cruise ship stop.
Progreso is a bustling town, with a prosperous-looking downtown area and the relaxed ambience of a beach destination. It’s also the only place along this coast that might qualify as a “city”. The other towns along this coast are fishing villages, some of them small.
 The beach here is white sand, and in sunny weather there are usually swimmers and sunbathers. Seafood is plentiful and inexpensive. At restaurants like Los Flamingos -my local favorite- a medium-sized plate of ceviche costs about $7; the sea view is free.

Is there such a thing as affordable beachfront single family housing?

I am searching for a single family dwelling
Aprox 1600 sq ft.
2+ bedrooms
2+ bathrooms
Ex Pat is preferred
Gated
On the beach. Gulf of Mexico or Pacific side
Close to a boat launch so I can take my boat and go out and fish
Safe
Around $175,000.00 USD

Is that too much to ask for?

I am about 5 years from retiring and am looking now. If I find the right home, I probably would want to rent it out for some time before I actually retire.
