The home is absolutely gorgeous in every detail. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there with the pool, the large kitchen, and the multiple places to relax. It was a holiday weekend, and we would have liked to see the house manager a little more frequently, but that was understandable. The house is a 25 to 30 minute walk from the center which we enjoyed as we are all walkers. Taxi cabs and the local bus are also very available. all in all, a highly recommended home to visit Merida and Yucatan!

We loved our stay at Casa Sur. It’s so lovely inside and outside in the garden. The pools was used many times a day, as it was very warm while we were in Merida. The kitchen is well stocked, there were plenty of pillows and towels, and we really appreciated the purified water and ice available in the fridge, and drinking water at the kitchen sink and casita kitchenette sink. Alex takes amazing care of the home 4 times a week, and is responsive and communicative, despite limited English. We were able to enjoy a free walking tour in the center of Merida, and drove to Uxmal archeological zone, the chocolate museum (the monkeys were a fun surprise!), Cenote Kankirixche, and Hacienda Mucuyche. A fun excursion that worked out well on our own without the high fee. Hire a guide at Uxmal and you’re all set. We really wanted a chance for our kids to get a more Mexican and Mayan cultural experience, away from the resorts and big hotels. Merida was a great place and we recommend this home.

We had the most wonderful time staying at David and Gary’s gorgeous house. The backyard courtyard with the beautiful pool felt like a dream. The house had everything we needed and was absolutely beautiful and spotless. We loved everything about our trip and the house. Alex was super responsive and fixed the small little issues we had. Thank you David and Gary for your wonderful hospitality, for all the info. about Merida, and for sharing your amazing house with us! It was an unforgettable trip!!

This property is as beautiful in person as it is in the photos, and a very comfortable base from which to explore the culture of the Yucatan. The hammock by the pool is reason alone to book this place! It is easy to get from the house to the central historic square and tons of restaurants on foot in cooler times of the day or by a short, inexpensive Uber. There are many thoughtful touches like an outdoor bluetooth speaker, bug spray, and a comprehensive manual of suggested restaurants and things to do. Highly recommend.

Recently enjoyed a 3-wk stay at Casa Sur hosting family/friends. This is a fantastic colonial-style property with a perfect blend of modern amenities. It's equipped with a piped water purification system in the kitchen and casita so no need to muck around with bulky "garrafones" for drinking water. The pool is terrific after a day out and about in the Yucatecan heat and the garden space is wonderful. Guests all commented on the comfortable beds. A caretaker is onsite several days a week to handle the gardening, pool, general housekeeping and maintenance - a frequency rare with vacation rentals. The house is a very doable 1 mile walk to the main cathedral, but for those not inclined to walk, UBER is an easy and reliable option. Because of the owners' many lovely art pieces the property is perhaps best suited for an adult groups or families with teens/older children. It would be a challenge to monitor toddlers or young kids. In short, I hope to visit again. It was grand!

We were lucky enough to spend 4 weeks at Casa Sur and it's just as lovely as the pictures. While it is located in a less affluent area of Merida, we found our neighbors friendly and welcoming when we went out for our daily walks. It's also a cheap Uber ride to almost anywhere in Merida. The owners responded promptly to a couple of minor hiccups and seemed ready and willing to make our stay as comfortable as possible. My wife and I stayed in the Casita which was like our own private bungalow on the property. The Casita also has my favorite shower of all time! (Tip: Don't miss the handmade tortillas that are produced daily at San Soucci which is only a block and a half from your front door.) To summarize: We love Merida and we love Casa Sur.
