Magical time at CasaBlanca

We stayed at Casa Blanca for 3 weeks in February of '25. The home is absolutely lovely as the photos portray. The master is its own casita in the back and the other two bedrooms are in the main house. Each bedroom had an a/c unit so sleeping on hot and humid evenings wasn't a problem. The garden and pool are beautiful and we spent lots of time enjoying the birds, lizards, possum and random cats. The owners are lovely too and take great pride in the home and it shows. We could ask them anything and they responded very quickly. The house was stocked with fruit, eggs and other basics when we got there and Steve dropped off some of his homemade spaghetti sauce. The area was safe and quiet and not far from Parque Santiago which is equipped with a supermarket, bakery, mercado and dancing on Tuesday nights! A lovely home, lovely people, lovely place.

Paradise in Merida

This is an amazing property, a small oasis in downtown Mérida. A wonderfully renovated space and garden carefully curated by Steve and Sandy, both artists. Many of Steve's large paintings hang on the walls, so it feels like a private gallery of great artwork. The garden, yard and pool area was most relaxing, and waking up to the sounds of bird calls with the soft breeze coming thru the screen doors was a bit of heaven. Highly recommended, would definitely return often...

Spectacular home and hosts!!

The home was all as described and then more! It was one of the cleanest and most well appointed homes I have ever rented on VRBO. The hosts took the time to explain how everything in the home worked when we arrived. They went out of their way to make sure our stay was fabulous, including having some starter provisions for us when we arrived! I have owned and operated several VRBO‘s myself, and I must say these people way out did anything I ever did. They even provided us with a flash drive of music to take home with us. If you are ever going to go to Mérida I highly recommend This property.

Easy and Authentic Experience

Our hosts, Steve and Sanda, were fantastic and made us feel instantly welcome. The home was immaculate and was stocked with great food staples to make morning meals easy and delicious. The backyard was a perfect place to relax after a day exploring the city. Amazing sites, markets, and restaurants were all within easy walking distance. The home and surroundings felt very authentic but were also very comfortable for non-Spanish speakers.

Amazing Stay in a Private Oasis

We really enjoyed our stay at Steve and Sanda's lovely Casablanca house. It's a 15 minute drive from the airport, a 15-30 minute walk from the central shopping areas and all of the amazing food of Mérida, and a 10 minute walk from the nearby produce market and grocery. If you rent a car there's typically a parking spot right outside the house - parking is much harder to do closer to the central shopping district. The house itself is gorgeous, very clean, and well stocked - they've thought of every detail to make your stay comfortable. The very private garden with its beautiful fruit trees are filled with songbirds and have lovely lighting for daytime and nighttime enjoyment. The pool and pool hammock are great respites from the heat, with plenty of shade under the cabana. Because of the proximately of the pool to the trees there is a bit of debris that gets in, but Steve came by to clean the pool mid-week. Note that when you arrive Steve and Sanda will meet you at the house with refreshments to give you a very detailed and necessary tour of the house so you know where everything is. Would definitely stay here again highly recommend it to others!

Casablanca bliss

I stayed here as a single woman. I felt completely safe and well taken care of. Steve gave me an excellent tour when I first arrived and even pointed out amenities I may have missed. The house is historical, perfectly appointed down to every last detail including a house play list if you choose to listen! The garden was amazing! Centrally located, no problem walking to most places including a great fruit market and some amazing restaurants. Check out Uxmal and the Mayan chocolate! Kitchen had Everything! Beds are bliss! Outdoor shower a fun and special experience! The garden is full of all types of birds including a white owl. The art work (much of it the owner’s work) and every piece of furniture and decoration adds even more to the feeling of being surrounded in both local but also international and creative culture! Perfection!

Absolute perfection!

CasaBlanca Living is by far the most amazing home I have ever had the privilege to enjoy. Of course, it’s easy to tell the home is special just by looking at the pictures. But those pictures are only the tip of the iceberg. From the moment Steve and Sanda met us at the house to give us a welcome tour, and explain some of CasaBlanca’s key features, I was in love…with the home, our hosts, and Merida in general! Every convenience and luxury is at your fingertips when you stay at CasaBlanca Living. The upscale, cozy decor, the amazing original artwork(by Steve), the fully equipped kitchen, the world’s most comfortable beds, the huge, soft pool towels, the immediate hot water, and the most stunning garden and pool area. Merida is an incredible city-one of my favorites-but it was hard to leave the house, everything was so incredible. Steve and Sanda have spared no expense when it comes to creating a magical and truly memorable oasis. If I could return tomorrow, I’d do it in a heartbeat! If you have the opportunity to stay at CasaBlanca Living, do not miss the chance. It really is perfect in every way!

holy smokes- this house. i knew it would be beautiful, but the property far exceeded my expectations. it’s an absolute work of art!! we spent most of our time in the breathtaking backyard….. but when we weren’t there, we were looking at all the artwork, cooking in the well-appointed kitchen, or sleeping soundlessly in the master bedroom (awaking only when the morning sun poured in and the church bells rang). i hope steve and sanda keep this property forever, because we can’t wait to visit again and again

Extraordinary

Steve and Sanda are extraordinary people who have created a superb restoration of a colonial home. The attention to detail, the art on the walls (their own paintings), the tasteful furnishings, the plantings in the garden - all has been done to a very high level. Best of all........the suspended beds on sisal ropes which provide a gentle rocking motion. Our hosts went over and above the usual - the thoughtful touches (a bottle of wine, excellent loaf of sourdough, milk, tea, yoghurt, etc.) as well as their helpful suggestions and general hospitality. One of our best experiences with a vacation rental anywhere in the world. Highly recommended.

About the host

Hosted by S. Krslak

Host profile image
We originally traveled to vacation in Merida and found this home. After 3 days, we bought it and made our way back to our home in Vancouver, Canada with plans to move to Merida. We drove 5 times from Vancouver to Merida and explored most of Mexico along the way.

Both having spent decades working in high end catering services, we decided to prepare this house with the same love we had from our professional lives.

Come check it out at least - we know you won't be disappointed and truly hope to have you come and spend some time in one of the most unique, private, central, hacienda style homes in Merida.

Why they chose this property

This truly is "The" property to feel complete privacy and great open spaces for hosting impressive dinner parties for friends and family alike!

We purchased this location for it's massive size, extensive outdoor stone terrace and construction, which comes with an array of old growth, tropical fruit, spice trees and palms, huge grass area with plenty of hot sun and cool shade.

The outdoor pool is shared with a covered cabana with teak lounge chairs and teak patio furniture, which is next to the fire pit/grill for outdoor cooking. The entire outdoor space is surrounded by 12 foot stone walls & is illuminated by stone sconces surrounding the entire space.

What makes this property unique

Privacy, Privacy, Comfort & More Comfort, Leisure Escapes, Sun, Sun tanning, Short walks to the center of the city and shops and engaging people and traditional, colonial architecture.
