Guesthouse vacation rentals in Yucatán Peninsula

Stop looking and book this! Safe, private and peaceful. We loved our stay here and were sad to leave. It is even better than the photos. The jungle setting was so peaceful and had so much wildlife, which thrilled our family. The hosts are great communicators and attentive. No issues with directions or check-in. All rules are reasonable and easy to follow. Location felt safe and secure. We had rented a car and the location was absolutely perfect for all the activities on our itinerary. Cenotes, beach, snorkeling, restaurants and stores just a short trip away. This Airbnb was exactly what we were looking for and did not disappoint. Would definitely stay again!

Ileana met us on arrival, responded promptly and the house was just what we expected. Near good restaurants, and easy walking distance to strip. Always felt safe and it was quiet.

What a delightful stay! We booked this so we could be close to the airport. The host met us at the gate and gave us a quick tour. Once we settled in, we went for a walk to one of the restaurants the host recommended (I second their recommendation!). A 5-10 minute walk from this home are a bunch of shops and street food. It is clearly popular with the locals, and we were the only tourists in sight. The home is so charming. It had all of the space and amenities we needed, and so many thoughtful touches. We spent hours on the terrace with a glass of wine in the evening and coffee in the morning. Although it is a guest house on the property with the main house, we never saw another person the entire time. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

We had a pleasant one-week stay. David and wife are friendly, helpful, and accomodating. Groceries, pharmacy, fruit and vegetable markets, and restaurants are all within short walking distance. Always felt safe in the house and neighborhood. The home is is described and we would gladly rent again.

We had a wonderful stay at Flor's place. The place is small but very charming and it's perfect for 1 or 2 people. The glass ceiling really gives it a unique feel. What really shines are the 3 amazing terraces with all kinds of plant life. A lot of thought and sweat equity was put in to create such a fine and peaceful place. The dipping pool is an added bonus after a day of walking around in the Merida heat. One caveat: the spiral staircase requires that you are mobile and not too wide. The location is a 5-minute walk from the Santiago Market and 12-15 minutes from Santa Lucia Park or Plaza Grande. As for hosting, Flor was very helpful and quick to answer all messages we sent and in person, she is truly a delightful person and her family is as well. Our conversations with Flor were always a pleasure. She is the kind of person that you would want to have as a friend. Additionally, she has a fantastic eye for design as can be seen by the way she decorates both inside and out.

All has been super easy with Alejandrina. You can't imagine such a place on the street. It's really green. The end of the street on which the accommodation is located is not necessarily reassuring at first, especially when you are walking. However, we can see that we are really a 10 minute walk to the San Bernardino Monastery and the beautiful Rue La Calzada de los Frailes. Despite the high number of dogs in this area, the nights were very quiet, we slept very well!

Nancy was incredibly welcoming, helpful, and generous with her spectacular home. Our casita had all the little and big extras to make us completely comfortable. We were combining relaxing and working remotely and had excellent wifi speeds and the ability to take a break and swim some laps in her 25 meter pool! Nancy is so generous with her space— it almost felt like we had the whole gorgeous property to ourselves!! And she introduced us to a local Mayan liqueur that we now love — thank you for everything, Nancy!!!!

Eduardo has a great little place off the beaten path and out of the touristy zone of Playa. I don't drink or party so being outside of the touristy area was nice. The place is really beautiful and clean and the natural elements of the courtyard are beautiful as is the terrace. The location is a bit of a walk to downtown Playa but very close to some great beaches and every Sunday you can catch the huge street market if you walk 25th Ave down past Calle 60. It has anything and everything you could imagine and better prices than anything on the tourist strip and lots of local food vendors as well.

Great hosts! Thanks Tania & Jeff! Perfect stay! Fantastic large pool, very clean! I just love the place! A home away from home! Another big +: Lovely animal (I miss already the Little black and white cat, he was so cuddly)! I recommand strongly Tania & Jeff’s place and I will return next winter! Thanks again Tania &Jeff to be such great hosts!!

Cristina was very kind. The house was as shown in the photos. She was always available and answered all our questions. I would stay there again. 100% recommended

Super friendly host. I had some specific requests and he did everything he could do to accommodate.

The place was just like the pictures, they had everything for a pleasant stay, Nicolle and her husband took care of us in a very nice way. We would definitely come back.

Very good stay at Jose's, the place was beautiful 🤩 His wife was very nice and gave us plenty of advice for our stay. We recommend 100%

A beautiful spot, lovely pool, luxurious bedrooms and bathrooms, perfect

Pino and his family were welcoming and very helpful. His place is walking distance to centro and other parks, which is lovely. There are a lot of amenities nearby and if you’re working, there’s a little table area in the room to set up a laptop.

I recommend this place with my eyes closed! Very clean, secure location, within walking distance :) Miguel is very responsive, and recommends places!

We absolutely loved this place. It was close to the dive shop we were scuba diving from. Loved being back and getting to relax in the pool too. Lazaro showed us the property and he was really helpful with everything 😊

We had a great time! The one recommendation I have is that the name of the resort “Sweet Water Reef Resort” should appear in the listing. Just a suggestion. We had a great time! Thanks for everything, Thomas and Anna!

We loved Casa Turquesa. The gardens were very nice and the ocean view at sunset was so beautiful that I decided to propose to my girlfriend in that same place, and she said yes! Adriana and her husband were absolutely lovely at all times. She even gave us a photo shoot and some snails as an engagement gift. It was the best decision to stay there, and we will definitely be back.

Beautiful place very close to the ocean. Very kind and thoughtful hosts. Would deft back!

Everything was incredible! It was the best Airbnb we’ve ever stayed at! The guesthouse is in immaculate condition and beautifully decorated, the grounds, cenote, pool area, roof top hang out, and lounging areas, are extremely well kept and absolutely gorgeous. The location is perfect as it is within walking distance to restaurants and snorkeling lagoons but is also very private and peaceful at the end of a road. Best of all the hosts go above and beyond to make your stay a special experience. They are very friendly and kind and they made sure we had everything we needed. They were great about answering questions we had about the area and giving helpful tips. They even had cold drinks, coffee, fresh fruit, and a variety of starter foods stocked in the fridge before our arrival. 100% recommend that you treat yourself and book a stay here!

The Airbnb looks exactly like in the pictures – but in real life, it’s even more breathtaking. The entire place is very clean, stylish, and thoughtfully designed. You can tell that Mada put great effort into creating a unique experience. We booked the entire Casa Tuch – two gorgeous suites. Upstairs, there’s a living room with a terrace, perfect for relaxing. The open kitchen is absolutely breathtaking! Location: About a 15-minute walk to the city center, easy & affordable Uber rides. 💫 Mada is an amazing host! She is incredibly kind, helpful, and always available. No matter the time, she was there for us, giving great recommendations and ensuring we had the best stay. You can tell she truly cares and puts her heart into making every guest feel at home. She went above and beyond, showing patience, warmth, and genuine kindness. Hosts like her are rare! Check out @ Casatuch on IG for more impressions – you’ll love it! 💛✨

We stay at a lot of Airbnb’s and very few of them stand out as Hacienda Xcaret. The owners father lives onsite and was incredibly gracious and kind, always responsive to our many questions and even offered to grab us supplies when he ran to town for himself. There are very limited options for dining nearby so prepare to purchase groceries so you don’t find yourself a hangry mama on Sunday morning when you realize the only breakfast spot nearby is closed! We wouldhave been in quite a bind but Skip offered to allow me to raid his fridge and the eggs and bacon he provided saved this mamas day! It is quite far from pretty much everything, but that was exactly what we wanted. Walking distance to the park that we attended was a huge plus. The grounds are absolutely incredible and you can see the love and care that has been put into their design. I do wish we had decided to rent a car to be able to explore more of the area, but we were perfectly happy to spend our time enjoying the property.
