5 stars in every category!
Casa Caballo was one of the best rental experiences we have ever experienced (and we have rented many properties in many different countries) and it exceeded our expectations. The property is immaculate. Everything you need to prepare meals is provided. Purified water, purified ice. The property layout provides privacy for 2 couples, each bedroom with an ensuite. We stayed for almost 5 weeks and felt totally pampered. All of the staff and management were a joy to work with. Professional, prompt, attentive!! Any question was answered in minutes. Any maintenance issue was taken care of within the day. The conceriege services - tour guide hookup, drivers, doctor recommendations, were all top notch. The management company Burro y Flauta provides a detailed guide to the property, neighborhood and Merida/Yucatan. It became our source for how to spend our days. The property is convenient to all the major places to see in Centro. So many restaurants are a couple of blocks from this location. We did not have a car but the area is very walkable. And if we wanted to visit someplace a couple of miles away, Ubers were cheap and never a long wait. The plunge pool- wow. What a treat. Twice weekly pool maintenance. We used it daily. And we already miss our daily morning birdwatching from the upstairs balcony. Again, the Burro y Flauta crew really know how to manage vacation properties! Their care and attention made all the difference. Thanks to all.

Merida 25th anniversary trip
My wife and I had a great experience with our VRBO stay at casa caballo en Merida. The location was a close 5 blocks from the center of town and main plaza. Food, bars, coffee shops and live music all very close. Beaituful 2 bedroom home exactly like the photos. Very safe and quiet neighborhood. Air conditioned as well with fans in every room. The dipping pool was perfect after a hot day of walking around. The management was great. Could not have been easier. The kitchen had everything we needed. A five star stay for sure. Thank you Burro y Flauta! Steve and Marlene

Great location and service
It is a great house, close to Santa Lucía square. Very well managed and clean and with all the things you would need to cook if you want to. With AC which is a must there and with fans in the tall ceilings. The pool is a perfect size to dip to avoid the afternoon heat. Beto, the manager was super helpful and organized for us a driver, the COVID tests and the pick up at 6 am to leave to the airport. A great experience

Host profile image
Hola! My name is Becca and I am one of the managers of Burro y Flauta Vacation Properties, located in the beautiful city of Merida.
More than 8 years ago, my family decided to move to the Yucatan to start a new chapter of our lives and Mexico welcomed us with open arms. We fell in love with its charm and culture, the incredible food, and the warmth of its people. Our goal is to pass along what we love about the area to all of those who choose to stay with us.
Burro y Flauta is a family owned and operated vacation rentals business with currently 14 different properties in Merida's historic center. We have hosted thousands of satisfied customers and hope to serve many more to come. Nos vemos pronto!
