Beautiful home and better than the photos. From the street it is very unassuming, which makes it even more special. The AC units work well and the kitchen is properly equipped. Internet is very fast and has excellent coverage throughout the home. House manager was very responsive as well.

We’re disappointed to see this review, as it does not reflect the condition of our home or the experience we provide. All amenities were fully functioning and well maintained during this stay, and no concerns about maintenance were reported to us at any time. This review appears to be in response to our inability to issue a full refund a few days into a month-long reservation, as the refundable cancellation period had already passed. We followed VRBO’s policies and offered at our own initiative to refund any nights we could rebook. The review also came after charges were submitted for damaged caused during the stay. We take pride in maintaining our property to a high standard, as reflected in our many positive reviews, and we remain committed to providing a clean, well-cared-for home for all guests.

Stayed for 6 days with my husband and our 10 year old daughter. First, we appreciated being able to check in a few hours early. Communication was great. Second, the property is amazing! The layout, decor, and furnishings are perfect. We were very comfortable during our stay. The outdoor areas and pool were used everyday. We truly enjoyed our stay at Casa La Perlita!

Our Casa La Perlita Trip

Casa La Perlita is a quiet, peaceful, very large, beautiful, amazingly decorated, tranquil casa with it's own gorgeous gardens and pool. It is so close to everything, located only minutes from the airport, and amazing restaurants. Every person in Merida that we had contact with was wonderfully polite. Managment was great. We were there a week and loved it!!!

Beautiful Villa

The villa was a lovely oasis for exploring Merida. There was a space for everyone to be together or separate if desired. It was equipped with everything we needed and more. The pool was very refreshing after walking in the sun and the courtyard always seemed to have a breeze to keep us cool.

Your oasis in Merida!

My grandson thought we were staying in a “mansion”! It is a big space and lots of room to “escape” for some quiet time. Good privacy for couples or family. Centrally located, it’s an easy walk to many restaurants and shops. The kitchen is very well equipped to handle folks who want to cook. We had a great week in the villa!

Oops! There goes the water

First day there the water pump broke that feeds the entire house. A maintenance crew was there within minutes to fix it. The crew was polite, clean, knowledgeable and fix it as fast as humanly possible on top of that the host adjusted our bill to reflect the inconvenience. We were very pleased with our first experience renting a VRBO.

Fabulous Retreat

Casa La Perlita is a beautifully maintained well appointed house in the Centro Historic area! The house exudes Hispanic charm and comfort. Communication with the owner and property manager was responsive and helpful. Additionally a comprehensive guide to the house is provided before check-in. The location was excellent for exploring the major interest points by foot, local restaurant favorites and cantinas. The indoor outdoor living around the lush pool was a nice respite from the encroaching heat. There are hammocks, lounge chairs and pool floats. The house was clean and maid service was provided halfway through our 8 night stay. Should we find ourselves in Merida again, we would definitely stay at Casa La Perlita. .

Beautiful Colonial in great location

Things we loved- location was within walking distance to all the great restaurants on Calle 47. The house is a gorgeous colonial that feels like an art museum with many hidden treasures throughout. The pool area is a wonderful place to hang and relax. The home is very large and would suit larger groups comfortably. Everything was clean and well maintained. There is a coffee place just two doors down. We were locked out at one point and were able to get a hold of the management team who showed up in about 10 minutes to get us back in. Things we didn't love- The plumbing is old centro plumbing so no flushing toilet paper. To be fair this is the same in pretty much all of centro and much of MX. The mosquitos are a pretty big problem if you want to hang outside even during the day. Repellent was provided. We were charged and additional 75 for electricity for 4 nights stay and all we did was use AC in one room only while we slept. The house has solar panels so this extra charge seems excessive as we have never been charged for electric at any other properties we've stayed.

Luxury away from home

Our stay in Merida had the bonus of a Beautiful, luxurious home. We felt very relaxed and at home. We felt like we were visiting some of our best friends while staying at your house. From the comfort of the entrance room, stepping on forward into the sitting area around the patio and then the pool ending in the entrance to the kitchen of the house felt very comforting and welcoming. Once we entered the kitchen, the decorations and organization of everything within the living area was beautifully arranged. As we walked up the stairs, we could see an experience the lovely master bedroom as well as its private balcony. Very relaxing!. Walking behind the kitchen, we found the two additional bedrooms each with their private bath and shower. As we were a family of four we opted to stay in two rooms downstairs during our stay. We felt very comfortable and secure in your home. The café down the street had excellent lattes and made a bonus at breakfast time before we went out on our excursions. I only wish they would have opened before 8AM. We truly enjoyed staying in your home. We felt very relaxed as if we were visiting some of our closest friends. Thank you.

Not what we expected. We asked for an early check in, but it was not accommodated. Allowed to drop off luggage early, which we did, at which time cleaning lady told us we could arrive at 5:00 P.M., although check in time was 4:00 P.M. The place is showing its age and lack of care. Doors have lots of crevices and lack of maintenance allows for roaches and ants to get in. The outside space is unusable with the amount of mosquitoes and the stifling heat. The heat in the stairwell inside the house makes it unbearable due to the misguided "skylight" and the western facing glass door. Outdoor patio upstairs is also unusable due to heat and west facing conditions. Pool is great and the kitchen is well equipped. The host/hostess are the most responsive we have ever dealt with in 17 years of visiting Merida. The house does not look like the pictures make it out to be. The pictures are very old and the patios are cluttered, metal furniture is rusting, and cushions are rotting. We also believe that the electricity bill is a scam. Sorry, but no other way to put it. This house has solar panels and as someone who has traveled to Merida extensively, I know how the whole electricity situation works. The charge of almost 158 US Dollars for two weeks was simply outrageous and there is no other way to put it.

Response from VrboOwner on 7 Feb 2026
While we appreciate your comments on our responsiveness, we are surprised and disappointed by the nature of this review, as many of these concerns were never mentioned during our communication throughout your two-week stay. To address your points directly: * Communication vs. Feedback: We pride ourselves on being "the most responsive hosts" you’ve dealt with. We addressed your requests for a lightbulb, internet troubleshooting, and extra towels immediately. It is difficult to rectify issues when they are only disclosed in a review after checkout. * Property Condition: We maintain our home diligently. While it is a traditional Merida property, "lack of care" is an inaccurate characterization. Our photos are kept current to reflect the home’s character, and our maintenance team is on-site regularly. * Check-In: Our check-in time is 4:00 PM. We allowed you to drop bags at 11:30 AM as a courtesy while the home was being prepared. We cannot bypass the cleaning process for a full early check-in when a prior guest has just departed and the request is made last minute. * Electricity Charges: To call a disclosed utility fee a "scam" is a serious and unfounded accusation. As stated clearly in our listing and Guide Book, electricity is a separate charge based on meter readings. As an experienced traveler to Merida, you likely understand that air conditioning in this climate is the primary driver of high consumption. Our solar panels allow us to offer a rate of $4.5 MXN per kW—significantly lower than the high-consumption (DAC) rates charged by the utility company. We take all feedback seriously, but we stand by the quality of our home and the transparency of our business practices. Best regards.
