About this property

Casa Osito, Santiago Architectural Masterpiece

Casa Osito (Bear Cub) is close to Santiago Square with shopping, movie theater and market. Santa Lucia Square with all of its great restaurants is only 5 blocks away. And the main square is only 7 blocks away. The location is perfect! The architectural features built into Casa Osito make it unique. The ancient stone walls, soaring beamed ceilings, beams, original pasta tiles and open living area provide a gorgeous and functional space for enjoying your holiday. The house was recently renovated and is architecturally exquisite and combines the old colonial charm with a modern update. The kitchen and master bedroom face the pool and patio area. The house features furniture from Yucatan Custom Furniture and Capacua (as well as some funky antique pieces), lighting from Takto and artwork from well-known Merida artists. The house has a light and open feel with the addition of numerous skylights for ventilation. Each bedroom has mini splits to keep things cool.

Parking is available in a nearby public lot. There is a taxi stand on Santiago square. Taxi fares in Merida are inexpensive, with fares within the Centro set to about 50 pesos. Uber is also available.

Santiago is a residential neighborhood where you can walk easily for everything you need. There is a daily market on the square where vendors sell all kinds of foods. The block around the square also includes a grocery store, movie theater, pharmacy, bars, restaurants, art galleries and other places of interest. Many expats live in the Santiago area.

Burro y Flauta Vacation Properties has a concierge assigned to each guest to answer any questions and provide for your needs during your stay. We want to do everything we can to ensure that your vacation goes perfectly!

Fantastic and beautiful property!
I have been regularly visiting Merida since 2010 and generally rent hotels for each of my stays. As this visit was for ten days, I decided to look at rental properties and found Casa Osito online. This house met all my expectations and beyond. The family who owns and manages their many properties are lovely, kind, and helpful. I mainly dealt with Becca, but I also engaged with Mike and their family. Before checking in, they set up a Whatsapp group to make communication easy. I cannot say enough about the rental quality, the owners and the location! There is a laundromat next door with a wonderful woman named Jenny (she also speaks some English). It made it easy to have my laundry services attended to quickly. I will continue to rent my future properties from Mike and Becca when I visit Merida. Thank you for everything; what an exceptional rental experience! See you again very soon! Jeffrey Borden Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

Best stay ever!
I can't begin to describe the beauty of this property and the amazing people that cleaned and maintained it while we were there. I would highly recommend them and also loved Merida. Beautiful people.

A lovely location fro exploring Merida.
We were very pleased with the style and quality of the house. Everything worked well, and we had all that we needed for our week's stay. After going into the grand plaza with its crowds and vendors, we were happy to come home to our quiet neighborhood and our "own" Parque Santiago.

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!
