The place was beautiful. Loved the location of the pool. Kitchen was convenient and had everything we needed. Each room had A/C for the hot night.The house was located far from the center but we enjoyed the walk and away from the noise. Fernando was great, answered all our questions and was a phone call away.

My family had a fantastic time in Merida and at Casa Sur. It was the perfect home and size for us (2 adults, 3 kids ages 12, 10 and 8). There is a lot to do in and around Merida and having a home base like Casa Sur is great. We could explore in the mornings and early afternoon then relax and swim before venturing back out in the evening. The on-site property manager is incredibly responsive and helpful. The hosts were also gracias and checking in to make sure we had a great experience. I definitely recommend Merids and Casa Sur!

More beautiful in person. Lots of outdoor lounging which is why we loved this particular property. The pool was so great. The tropical plants on this property are amazing. Home had anything we could want. The fans and AC were perfect throughout the house and Casita. Worth the stay. Took Uber everywhere so no need for a rental car.

Amazing Home!!

Casa Sur was the absolute best choice we could have made for our stay in Merida. Not too far from the main part of Centro, easy access to bus/uber and can walk to find taxis. The house itself was a dream! The pool was perfect to cool off froth heat, and the sitting rooms and kitchen were great common spaces for us all to share. Our family felt so comfortable throughout our entire stay. It was tranquil, very comfortable and the beauty was endless. Thank you to our hosts for such a great experience!

Beautiful house

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.

A Beautiful House

Casa Sur is a beautiful house. We loved relaxing there at the end of the day. The furnishings and decorations helped to immerse us in the Mexican culture. The kitchen was well stocked and the rooms were comfortable. The casita allowed for some privacy in a lovely setting. The location was farther from the center of the city than we expected. We elected to walk, but an Uber ride might be more appropriate for many visitors.

Gorgeous home in South Merida

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!

Slice of Merida Heaven

We truly had an amazing experience staying at this lovely home in Merida. The pool and porch areas were beautiful and perfect for cooling off on the hotter days. The hammock by the pool is a slice of paradise. We easily all fit in the home and having a separate casita was nice. Communication with the home homeowner was easy and always had quick responses. The groundskeeper was amazing-helped us every day, gave us advice for adventuring in the town, fixed anything that didn’t work. We had a rental car which made getting around easy and quick access to the beach but the house was a great location to easily use Uber as well. Would highly recommend this house-it will help you have a true Merida experience.

Lovely Place

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.

Romantic Property in the heart of Merida

We LOVED our stay at this property. It is a perfect blend of curated, old-school Yucatan with beautiful artwork and furnishings and modern amenities. Soft, comfy beds, a wonderfully appointed kitchen, fluffy towels, nice size pool, and lovely indoor/outdoor living. We enjoyed having coffee out by the pool. The time of year that we visited was very hot (April) so we appreciated all of the fans. There was an issue with the internet the first few days we arrived, but the hosts and on-site manager were very communicative and had it fixed fast. The property is in a very tropical location, so be ready for insects and such. The property had good pest mitigation and screens on the windows, etc. Great walkability into the city center and easy for UBER drivers to find us. We highly recommend this house!
