About this house rental

The Space.
Casa Koala is restored by an acclaimed local architect and located in the beautiful Santiago neighborhood just a few blocks away from the lively park and square. This home has a beautiful and open flow all the way through the property. Walking through the large colonial doors, you find a airy, bright and spacious living area opening right into the light-filled kitchen and dining space. Just past that is a patio connected to a shaded courtyard and pool to relax and refresh in after an eventful day in the warm Merida sun. There is a lovely and quiet casita with direct access to the courtyard which is separate from the main house and protected from any street noise to ensure a sound night's sleep. We can either arrange two single beds or one king size bed depending on your preferences. The first floor also has a full bath in between the patio and the pool. The second bedroom is located on the second level above the kitchen and dining area. It has a balcony that looks down onto the pool and has a gorgeous view of the surrounding greenery, including a stunning red flowering tree hanging over the casita. In addition to the balcony, the room also has a private patio for some peaceful alone time and an en suite bathroom.

High speed wifi can be accessed throughout the home and patio. Cable and Netflix access are also provided.

Also, every stay includes four free beers so you start start your vacation immediately upon arriving. Don't worry if you forgot your shampoo because both bathrooms are equipped with their own shampoo, conditioner, and body wash dispensers.

This is my second time renting a house through this management company. They are engaging, incredibly responsive, and genuinely care about the renter experience. The homes are spotless, with meticulous attention to every detail. I will ONLY rent from them each year! Thank you for another phenomenal experience. Beto is the best!!

We had a wonderful stay in this magical property. Convenient to the city centre and such an oasis! The courtyard and private pool was a wonderful place to relax and cool off after a busy day in the heat. The bedrooms were well appointed with comfortable beds. The kitchen was well equipped and with one dinner table in and one out we had choices of where to eat. Everything about the place was immaculate from the front room to the in-suite laundry. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay.

I did not want to leave this beautiful home away from home. It was fully equipped with everything we needed, and the design choices delighted me constantly. The king bed is memory foam and very comfortable, and the bed linens were high quality cotton.The kitchen is beautifully -equipped (and we did cook — we hosted some friends for dinner). The pool provides a refreshing dip which we used several times a day even though it wasn't terribly hot when we were there. There is very effective air conditioning in both bedrooms and in the livingroom. There are ceiling fans in every room. The washer/dryer work well. The host left plenty of supplies (TP, bathroom condiments, dish soap, sponge laundry soap, bug spray, towels, etc) for our four night stay.The whole place is a delight for the senses: beautiful tile floors, skylights, high ceilings, light fixtures, wall hangings, ceramics. The furniture is very comfortable. We were met there by Beto, who was super helpful and knowledgeable and spoke perfect English. He set up a whatsapp group with us and another person so we had two people to contact in case of any need. It turned out we needed help when we couldn't figure out how to turn on the oven. We received a response within a few minutes, and a few minutes later, someone came over to show us that we just needed to push the dial in as well as turn it. Overall, our experience was excellent. Don't miss this gorgeous oasis of calm, comfort and beauty.

We loved our stay at this house. It was easy to get to- walking distance from Santiago and the main plaza. We used the bikes on Sunday for the weekly bike ride. I loved d the pool and cooled off in the morning, midday and at the end of the day. My son, his girlfriend, my husband had wonderful sleeping quarters. The staff was so helpful and responsive. And the house was so clean. We didn’t want to leave and stayed an extra night!!!

Outstanding communication!
Outstanding communication!
This is a beautifully renovated property. Everything was very clean and the owner could not have been more helpful in providing the most comprehensive guide book that we have ever received when renting from VRBO. All of the recommendations from the owner were outstanding. Our absolute favorite restaurant was Oliva Enoteca. This would be a great restaurant in any city!
