Perfect location! Fantastic Pool!

We loved this house. Its proximity to many parts of the city made it perfect for walking around in the evening when it cooled off. The pool and AC kept us very comfortable during the day. The host was beyond helpful. Would 10/10 recommend and return!

Gorgeous home in a great location

We had a wonderful stay. Check in was easy and the home is GORGEOUS. We loved the courtyard with the pool - so tranquil and relaxing. The location was great - two cute restaurants right outside and the market and a small grocery store (Aki) down the street. The location was also super convenient - we walked everywhere the whole trip. If ever visit Merida again, we would love to stay here again.

Great place in a great spot

Only a few blocks walk to great restaurants and shopping, this house was the perfect spot for a relaxing getaway. Kitchen was well equipped for what we needed but I’d not want to have too many people in the kitchen at one time. Pool stayed cool and refreshing even in high temps (40 C) and lots of comfortable seating was provided. Very quiet at night and the AC worked flawlessly. Would definitely return.

La Vida Buena

The house is comfortable and well represented in the photos. The location of the property is in the Santiago neighborhood close to markets, parks and restaurants. The team at Mérida Rentals was great, especially Sergio. He is very responsive and attentive to all your requests and checked on us a few times to make sure we were comfortable. Laura is an excellent housekeeper. The house was spotless when we checked in and she cleaned again during our stay.

10 days in Merida

This is a very nice home, and it was very comfortable to stay and be property manager Sergio was excellent. Unfortunately, there are absolutely zero instructions on how to run a house of three bedrooms. It somebody to show how to utilize the television.. but it had all of the Internet sites available. Swimming pool is cleaned only once a week which made it unuseable after the first week, but other than that the house was a pleasure and the team came to answer. Any questions was excellent. I would advise to rent this home.

Please Don't Book So I Can

A huge part of me wants to not recommend this place because I love it so much and always want it to be available when I want to book it. I just completed my second stay in this beautiful home. I couldn't wait to show it off to my friends and they were equally impressed and equally sad that we had to leave. My only complaint is the hot water in the shower doesn't stay hot for too long, but it wasn't a major inconvenience for us. This place is a visual feast. The tiles and stonework are absolutely stunning. The high ceilings and mini splits maintained a very comfortable temperature inside. This house is great for multiple couples because every bedroom's ensuite has a double vanity. The kitchen is well stocked with all the plates, cups, cutlery, and cleaning products you need. The location is perfect. A coffee shop opened 3 doors down. The staff is very nice and they have delicious pastries. Many affordable restaurants, bars, cafes, and spas are a stone's throw away. In addition, it's walking distance from the bus station where you can get a bus to Progreso for 12 pesos. That's less than one American or Canadian dollar! I hope you all enjoy this gorgeous, comfortable, and affordable place, but not too much, because I want to be able to book again!

Casa Yucateca Stay

This is the second time we used VRBO for our family vacation. We found a dozen houses in downtown Merida that matched our criteria, but we all agreed on Casa Yucateca from the photos. The booking and the communication with the property owner were easy. Marco was very responsive to our questions. He recommended some wonderful restaurants in town. The house and rooms looked just like the photos but were even better in person. The simple but tasteful design/decoration exuded its charm. The three large bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, were perfect for the three of us. There was a “care package” on a plate in the living room and it was very thoughtful. We were provided with a bag of coffee, teas, sugar, creams, and snacks. We arrived late so we could not get to the market (10 minutes’ walk) to get coffee/breakfast for the next morning. There was a 5-gallon bottle of water in the kitchen, and this was great since we did not have time to buy bottled water yet. These little care details made the stay more enjoyable. The dining table was next to the pool, and we used it every day, especially for our morning breakfast Al frescos. The pool is nice to cool down after our daily tours. The house location was great. It took 10 to 15 minutes to walk to downtown plazas where there are many good restaurants and shops. We felt safe walking around between the restaurant and home. We definitely recommend Casa Yucateca to friends and family who want to visit Merida.

Must stay if visiting Merida

We really enjoyed staying at this beautiful unique colonial villa. The pool area located in the center of house is stunning. It was super clean and perfect place to cool off. The location was perfect distance to all the restaurants and cultural events taking place at the center of town. Parking was easy to find. We admired the Maya decor and tile. I will definitely love to book again.

Great stay

Our party of 4 adults stayed for 3 nights. The home had everything we needed. The gas grill was wonderful for our last evening. The beds were very comfortable, washer and dryer a plus, furnished water was huge help. Location was close to grocery and many great cantinas, cathedral, museum etc. I only wish we could have found an on-Off bus tour with English speaking guides. The Mayan market was close but a lot of the same things you saw everywhere much cheAper. Balam, Impala, Maiz Canela Cilantro, La Recova-St Lucia were all great places to eat and refresh. The st. Lucia Park area was great.
