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.

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.

The property was beautiful. Very clean, spacious and beautiful combo of indoor/outdoor living. It’s far enough away from the central plaza to be very quiet but plenty close to walk in. Parking on street by the house was very easy.

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.

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.

Amazing Family Vacation!

Since the very first day we entered the property, a beautiful colonial home that allowed us to immerse ourselves into the Santiago area, we fell in love with all the people we met in Merida. The property was outstanding and so clean. The property management team were professional, attentive, kind, and warm. Immediately across the street was a neighborhood restaurant that served exceptional dishes. Such a quaint establishment. We ate there more than once for breakfast and dinner. Our family did not want to go home. We will definitely be back! We are so grateful to everyone who made our family trip so special. ❤️ Wholeheartedly, awesome!

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.

Still waiting for a refund Don’t Stay Here - Terrible place

We rented this “luxury” rental for 4 weeks. Within the first two weeks the pool pump never worked every day. The property manager was in the home every day except 3. We didn’t have hot water twice. A bathroom pipe burst twice and then they refused to refund the last two weeks stay even though we left. The front door has holes in it and the locks were loose letting in all the street dirt and noise. This pics are old. The kitchen ran out of gas for the stove, the outdoor shower is over the lounge chairs and it’s all fake. Algae all over the rock garden and cracking walls and peeling paint all over.’VRBO is no help in getting help. The owners are trash people who think they can tell you to just change rooms if the bathroom is flooding. They said old houses have problems. They should not be on this platform.

Casa Yucateca Great Location

Overall, it was a positive stay in a large colonial home. It is plenty spacious for six people with 3 large bedrooms and bathrooms as shown in the photos. We enjoyed the pool and the outdoor living space daily. It is an exceptional central location, and an easy walk to cafes, cantinas, plazas, parks, and markets. A local market is about 2 blocks away where one can purchase fresh fruit and vegetables daily. The kitchen was adequate, but does not have an oven. There were a few issues, but the management company and owner responded promptly. Since we had limited Spanish, the most difficult aspect was directly communicating with the property management since the people who answered phones had limited understanding of English.

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!

About the host

Hosted by Marco

Host profile image
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.
