Great stay!
We had a lovely visit in Mérida! The house is a short walk to the main plaza and Santa Lucia Park. The ACs worked great and there was plenty of privacy for each room. The property manager was very helpful and his recommendations were excellent.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Excellent home base in Merida
The home was exactly as described. LeAnn was very responsive to my questions. Whatever construction in the neighborhood was happening in previous years is definitely done. Loved the pool and courtyard. The bedrooms were dark and quiet for sleeping. There is a small kitchen where we prepared a couple of breakfasts with eggs from the local market, but there is so much delicious food to be found within walking distance, we mostly ate out. We walked to the park, shopping, and restaurants during the day and night, and felt perfectly safe. We arrived in Merida by ADO bus from Cancun, and walked the 25 minutes to this home. We took a private tour that was recommended by the property manager to Uxmal with Alex from Merida Destino Tours. He picked us up and dropped us off at the home. Not an issue with the home, but just a hint about the sidewalks of Merida. They're bad. So glad we traveled with backpacks rather than roller bags. I would highly recommend this property, and would go back in a heartbeat!

Great house!
This house was a wonderful place to stay. Plenty of room and so very clean. Close walking distance to many attractions and restaurants. There is a Mercado right around the corner with fresh fruit and many food vendors and we went and tried new things daily. The pool was red fresh IG, showers. The 3 bedrooms were huge and beds were comfortable. Just a great house and wonderful location. LeAnn communicated with us and was always responsive. We would definitely recommend and stay here again if we come back to Merida.

Beautiful colonial home in Merida Centro
We love Merida, so we were looking for a home that gave us that classic Merida vibe. And this house gave us that and more. This home is a dream, the owners and property manager go above and beyond. It's got all the amenities and yet still true to it's old colonial charm. Truly cannot say enough good things about this home. We are already planning to come back and we just left today. We had our 2 yr old with us, it's layout was perfect for him, the teenagers were happy and so we're our parents. So many walkable places and restaurants. We walked across the street to amazing restaurant with great coffee. La Lupita is a 5 min walk along with a lot of great other things to eat! Highly recommend this home.

I was working in Merida for a few weeks. The property was well situated to make the most of my time out of the office. Close to the Parque Santa Lucia and Barrio Santiago, there was plenty to do and eat within an easy walk.
