Property not clean.

I arrived at the property; but after touring it, I immediately left because the property was not clean. The floors and counters were not clear and clean, as they had looked in the property photos. (Instead, I reserved a room at a Merida hotel for my week-long visit to the City.) The property owner refused to refund my payment. She is not in Merida, so she cannot know the condition of the house. I am very disappointed with this property and with VRBO.

Awesome Vacation in Merida!!

The house is amazing!! So much room for us to spread out. I loved the screened in patio - enjoyed my coffee there whenever I got the chance. Next time we are in Merida I hope Sharon’s place is available.

BelleRive

We loved this house in a quiet Barrio Santiago within walking distance of the main Merida parques and plazas. It’s spacious, comfortable, convenient… and lovely. Someone did an excellent job of updating while maintaining the old charm. The hosts — both on site and off site — were very responsive and helpful. Highly recommended!

About the host

Hosted by Sharon Acton

Host profile image
I traveled to Merida for eight years before I purchased my Merida home. I loved the colonial city and wanted to spend more than a few weeks living in such an amazing community. Merida is one of Mexicos great colonial cities and full of magical moments, it is truly the people of the Yucatan that make it such a special place and a forever lasting memory. Enjoy!

Why they chose this property

The city is divided by barios, Santiago is the third Bario development, 1650’s it has been compared to Havana, Cuba. The Santiago Mercado with beautiful fountain and benches nestled beneath tall shade trees and birds chirping allows a moment to feel the pulse of the city. Locals gather here to buy fruits Vegetales, flowers, while also dinning on Mayan cuisine- cochinita pibil, fresh fish tacos, great ice cream. Delicious for both appetites of sight, sound and taste! Tuesday evening is always live music and dance night!

What makes this property unique

The Belle Rive is a grand old colonial casa that the Miami Architect designed to feature the best of the large older homes while maintaining pasta tiles, high 14 foot ceilings, tall doors and windows but added conveniences that give modern comfort. Although the home has air conditioning throughout, when the doors and windows are open it has wonderful breezes throughout the house.
