Welcome
You have  found Casa Del Sol, one of the jewels in the crown that is Merida, Mexico, and a luxury Merida vacation rental near Santiago Park in downtown Merida, Yucatan.  Even while vacationing you can still enjoy a Merida lodging place with the comfort and convenience of a beautiful casually elegant home at Casa Del Sol. You can stop looking. Casa Del Sol is not just a home for rent in Merida but instead it is the Merida luxury vacation rental that you’ve been looking for.

During your holidays in Mexico, you can cool off with Merida’s best homemade ice cream in Santiago Park, only one block away, and also enjoy the flavors, aromas and colors of daily market life in the historic neighborhoods of Merida. Yet, Casa Del Sol is within easy walking distance (7 blocks) of all of the main attractions in Historic Centro including the Zocalo (Main Square), Museums, the oldest cathedral in North America, and the home of the first Spanish conquistador, Francisco Montejo. Merida and Casa Del Sol are enchanting destinations from which to enjoy and savor your much dreamed-about Mexico vacation.

About Casa Del Sol
Your Merida luxury rental home, believed to date back to the 1860s, has been totally and tastefully updated from top to bottom including a new roof, new plumbing and wiring, full kitchen, new bathrooms and a pool that helps take the edge off the heat.

Main House
The main house includes a large and comfortable living, dining and kitchen area. This space, accented by architectural arches and limestone columns as well as custom tile flooring, was designed for relaxing and entertaining. So when you come home from a long day of sightseeing and shopping, you can take off your shoes, relax on the sofa and have a nice cold drink.

Just past this large area, you will find both a large air-conditioned guest bedroom with ceiling fan and king size bed (350 thread count sheets), walk-in closet, and connecting bath. Next to that is a small TV area where you can not only catch up on the world news but also connect with the wireless system and check your email, if the real world is calling.

Courtyard

Behind the main house is your lush central courtyard that features a cool, clean pool in a verdant tropical setting. Here you can escape the heat of the day and enjoy refreshing drinks, either in or by the pool.

Roof Top Terrace
The courtyard is also your access point to your own private roof top terrace where beverages and meals can be enjoyed while watching the sun set or the stars sparkle over the city. This large open area is perfect for entertaining, sun bathing, or just enjoying the cool night breeze in Merida.

Master Suite
On the far side of the garden is the master suite. This private air-conditioned suite with ceiling fan and king size bed (350 thread count sheets) has its own bathroom and a large antique chest of drawers for your clothing or your recent purchases. If you are just dying to work out while on vacation, there is also an elliptical training machine available for your use.
Air Conditioning

Your vacation home has air-conditioning and ceiling fans in both bedrooms. The rest of the home is equipped with ceiling fans.

Merida is within 2 hours of numerous Mayan ruins. The most well know are Uxmal (1.5 hrs away by car), Chichen Itza (2 hrs), Dizibilchaltun (30 minutes). My personal favorites are Uxmal and Ek Balam.
The beaches in the area are at Celestun (2hrs), Progreso (40 minutes), Cancun (3.5hrs), Tulum (5hrs), and Rio Lagartos( 6 hrs)
The Yucatan has wonderful colonial towns to visit and explore such as Izamal, Tizimin, and Valladolid. My favorite is Izamal which has a great church, Mayan ruins and a vibrant artist community.
Other large cities near Merida are Cancun (3.5 hrs), Playa Del Carmen (4 hrs), Campeche (2 hrs) and Chetumal (6 hrs).
My two favorite turn of the century and fully restored haciendas are Sotuta Peon, and Hacienda Petac. Sotuta Peon is a must see. Their driver will pick you up so that you can tour the Hacienda and spend the day there having lunch and swimming in an underground river known as a “cenote”.
