Casita Azul, Mesilla Plaza Only Steps Away
About this house rental
Nestled in Mesilla, this charming house for $113 per night is a great choice for your next vacation. COVID-19 UPDATE: We scrupulously clean our casita after every renter and also block our calendar accordingly (at least a day afterwards) to provide for thorough cleaning/sanitizing. While we use primarily natural products we also use disinfecting products to ensure that we are providing as much disinfecting support as possible. Long term renters are required to pay an extra $50.00 cleaning fee every two weeks during their stay. We can arrange a convenient time when you are out and about for the cleaning. In addition, shops and restaurants on the Mesilla Plaza and in the area are open. Patrons can also eat on the patios with social distancing. The restaurants do have the opportunity for customers to order and take out food. Farmer’s markets and grocery stores are open. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions or concerns. Please stay safe and well as we learn to navigate this new normal. Our Property Imagine listening to the ringing of the church bells and walking out your door onto the charming plaza of Old Mesilla. Shopping at the unique shops around the plaza and dining on a variety of foods which includes our famous Mexican food. Casita Azul is a two bedroom, one bath, 900 sq. ft. getaway. It is a historic property, which is part of the block that is listed on the State and National Register of Historic Places dating back to the 1850's. The casita was once a barn and then converted into living quarters. It is an adobe with thick walls. The ceilings are the traditional latillas (small lengths of wood) and vigas (large wood beams). The entrance is adorned with large carved, old Mexican, wooden double doors which opens to a covered portal (porch). The property owners are right next door and a common yard is shared. A newly bricked patio is available for relaxing in the New Mexico sunshine. The casita also has its own porch and access to the backyard area. It has a pet door so there is a possibility of bringing a small to medium sized dog. Please contact us if you plan to bring your pet. As you enter the casita you walk into the kitchen which has blue Mexican tile accents, and an open living area. The rear bedroom shares the office area and a twin bed. The bathroom has a bathtub and a shower. The bathroom area has a separate heater and fan. There are two very quiet heating and refrigerated cooling units to make the casita cozy all year long. There is also a very basic utility room with a washer and dryer and a place to store suitcases and travel supplies.

We loved staying in a home with so much history in a town with so much history. We were able to come and go as needed. The hosts made sure we were able to find our way and get in since our flights were delayed and we arrived. Around midnight. We made trips to White Sands National Park. ITT was a very convenient location.

We liked this property so much, we booked it for a second time. We stayed here in May 2022. The casita is cozy and well appointed. The location is great. The plaza was beautifully decorated for the holidays. The shops on the plaza are around the corner. There are great restaurants on the plaza and a few blocks off the plaza- so convenient!

My husband & I stayed 4 nights with our little dog. Everything exceeded our expectations. The host is a pleasure to communicate with. We enjoyed the convenience of walking to the great restaurants in the plaza, which is a a couple hundred feet away. Our dog gives it 5 paws.

Casita Azul is beautiful, and truly a very special place. The Vigas were my favorite, and my son loved the magical decor. He said he felt so ‘comfy’. The house was spotlessly clean, 100% supplied with everything you would need. I would definitely return, and will never forget sitting in the courtyard patio drinking coffee and hearing the cathedral chime.

The location is in the heart of town in an important historic house. Very nicely appointed in Southwest style.
Mary is a wonderful host.

This Casita was exactly as listed: spacious, private, well furnished with full size pillows on a great king size bed. There was plenty of towels, amenities, and tourist information. It was a perfect location ~ walking distance for restaurants and shopping and easy drives for hiking in the area. Mary Helen was a great host and responded quickly. We really enjoyed Mesilla and our stay @ the Casita Azul. Thank you so much.

The host was exceptionally hospitable and helpful. I love Las Cruces with its small city vibe, great restaurants and being near the Organ Mountains. If you go to Las Cruces be sure to go to Dripping Springs Natural Area. The 1.5 mile walk at Dripping Springs is scenic and unforgettable. The VRBO is very close to Mesilla Plaza which is a historical area surrounded by shops and restaurants.

My wife and I absolutely loved this beautiful, historic and tastefully decorated casita. It was a short walk to the town square that was filled with shops, restaurants and very friendly locals who were happy to answer any questions you might have about the surrounding area and its history. Our host, Mary Helen was great! 5 stars!

An extremely well located, quaint and roomy guesthouse. It is well equipped, and perfect for anyone who wants to cook a few meals here-and-there in addition to walking a minute or two into town to enjoy any of the diverse restaurants in the area.

My wife and I stayed here for four nights as our daughter was graduating from NMSU. Although it was in the heart of Old Mesilla, it was also conveniently less than a ten minute drive to the university. The photos don’t do this property justice. It is incredibly unique, rustic and has everything a person needs. Mary Helen is an excellent host. Highly recommended.

The Casita Azul is a terrific place to stay, just off the Mesilla Plaza. It is clean, well laid out and well appointed. I was able to cook Thanksgiving dinner in the small but functional kitchen. The bed was comfortable, TV worked well with many music and channel choices, etc. I really can't say enough about how much I enjoyed my stay.

Casita Azul on the Mesilla Plaza is a great place to stay. Bright and well-decorated inside and a sunny outside sitting area. We stayed for 2 weeks in November and savored every day exploring Mesilla, Las Cruces, Ruidoso, White Sands & the Chihuahuan Desert. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We absolutely love this property. The location is steps to the town square and St Albinos Basillica. The renovated building is historic mud adobe and the furnishings and art have true New Mexico character. This is our second stay and we hope to return again in the spring.

One of the rare places where we enjoyed staying in just as much as exploring the surrounding area. We enjoyed being right in the historic Mesilla plaza and loved taking our dog for walks and seeing the adobe homes in the area. The casita was super clean and comfortable with everything needed to stay in and cook meals if desired. We love to travel with our dog and the fenced in private patio plus the larger enclosed courtyard were perfect! The casita was very comfortable and a perfect place to just hang out and relax!

Casita Azul deserves more than the allowable five stars. For me location is always key and Casita Azul is steps from Mesilla Plaza. The property is authentic, immaculate, quiet, comfortable and beautiful. The photos are absolutely accurate. Mary Helen is a gracious and helpful host. Casita Azul will be my choice whenever I am in Mesilla.

Lovely and relaxing oasis
This is a charming, clean and comfortable property that emanates history. It is located steps from the Plaza yet offers a quiet respite from the buzz of nearby shops and restaurants. Parking is easy in the private lot.
The casita has all the amenities one could hope for: a full kitchen with plates, utensils and cookware; a comfortable living room; two beds with room for privacy; a washer and dryer; a nice shower and tub; and a beautiful little veranda to sip your coffee in the morning or enjoy a glass of wine at night.
The rooms capture the light in a magical way throughout the day and the distant sound of church bells offer a sense of the spiritual.
I highly recommend staying here if you can! Mary Helen is a gracious host who clearly takes pride in offering guests a rewarding experience. .

I took a solo trip for my birthday and selected Casa Azul based on the pictures and reviews. It was even better than I expected! Mary Helen does an amazing job making sure you feel welcomed and comfortable. She even left a bottle of local wine! I highly recommend this property.
