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.

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.

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.

Very accommodating

Owner was very accommodating. Any problems were fixed before we were even aware of them. We were lucky and honored to stay here. I've visited Merida 4+ in the past decade and this property and it's location are a rare find in my opinion. Don't wait

About the host

Hosted by Marco

This is our dream vacation home in a fantastic city that offers many attractions. We love being immersed in this historic region with Maya ruins, Cenotes and beaches all just a short drive away. We rent this house when we cannot be there so that other people can enjoy this incredible place as well.

Why they chose this property

Merida is the safest city in Mexico with wonderful people, amazing yucatecan food and rich history. A short drive away you can visit all the major Maya historic sites, take a bath in a Cenote or head to the beach in Progreso or Celestun. Another unknown aspect is the top notch and inexpensive medical and dental care available in Merida.

What makes this property unique

We were looking for a house with character and unchanged colonial features. The neighborood of Santiago is one of the most desirable in Merida, a short walk from everything you need to enjoy all that this great city has to offer.
