Cozumel Questions

Wife and I have been traveling all around Mexico and Belize for years. Mostly doing recon for a place to retire. We are close, just tying up a few ends til mid summer. Belize has fallen out of favor because of the gov corruption and the country being so small it leaves nothing left to run the country as we see it. No shopping and very poor medical add to the mix...... All that said we really like the Progresso/Chelem/Chicxulub/Chuburna area. It is just about perfect for us except I can't quit obsessing about the water quality vs. the Caribbean side of Mexico. We just got back from 2 weeks there. I know some of you on here live in Cozumel so probably can answer my questions so here goes. We are not city dwellers so we are looking for a little room to have or build. Need to be ON the water to catch the breeze. If I have to see a cruise ship from my home I want to be using binoculars. We want to be in an expat pocket among the locals also. Don't mind driving 3 miles for a loaf of bread not 30 miles. We want something like Chelem area only with snorkel water not water that looks like a river. Cancun/Playa/Tulum is too touristy and expensive. Mahahual is too far off the beaten path. We LOVE Chelem but want to find similar with nice water. I have been all over the internet real estate listing trying to answer my own questions but have fallen short. Thanks in advance for assistance.
