The house was a perfect beach house and the backyard and pool were amazing. Mike who helps take care of the house was really helpful during our stay and we found the house to be very comfortable. The area is very safe and peaceful. The beach that is a short walking distance is swimmable but a bit eroded (like most of the coastline). But the beach about 10 minutes drive (past ChuburnĂĄ) was truly awesome with turquoise clear water, a large expanse of white sand, shallow enough for kids to play safely, and not overrun with other people.
Great place if you want peace and quiet. 2 Min to the ocean, new pool, kitchen has everything you need, local restaurants nearby, check in went smooth, the host and the on site team were great, for shopping you need a car though.
We were happy and recommend Casa Leila strongly.

This property was spectacular so close to the beach, but the property, especially the backyard with pool and all the outside amenities makes you just so content to stay home. The location is perfect because you are away from everyone but just a 10 minute drive either way and youâre in one of the lovely towns.. honestly cannot say enough about how wonderful this property is. It even has an air fryer, thereâs nothing you could want that already hasnât been thought of
If you are a couple or a couple with young kids who want privacy and space as well as proximity to the ocean - this place is for you!
Roger (the owner) was always available on WhatsApp to answer questions and suggest eateries, shopping areas, and car rentals. There is a property manager who lives in Merida She was very friendly but less responsive or helpful. Our check in was flawless with Mike(a next door neighbour and friend of Rogerâs). Mike was knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. Although he lived close by he was very respectful of our privacy
The house is well equipped,the front porch spacious and the backyard a true oasis.
Understandably, living far away and renting a place, there is a lot of trust put into the hard working house cleaner, gardener, and pool cleaner.
Upon check in the house was not as clean as we would have hoped. The floors were dirty, the walls were dirty, the fridge had mold and the second bathroom had mold. This may have been an oversight with the cleaners as we are not sure how long it had been unoccupied. There were some maintenance issues - clogging and leaking kitchen sink, leaking fridge and leaking main bathroom sink.
While the property manager did make a visit during our six week stay to discuss these issues, she did not follow through with a plumber visit. We made repairs best we could while we there to minimize water damage and mentioned the issues to the owner.
It was a pleasure to meet Roger before we left. While the issues we had during our stay were minor l, it was reassuring to know he would be onsite to correct them and ensure future guests are not bothered by them at all.
Overall our six week vacation was incredibly relaxing, private and enjoyable. Thanks Roger! Until next time. Stephen and Linda
Canadian with a passion for Mexico, especially the Yucatan Peninsula, local culture and people. I love spending time at my casa and I am very pleased to be able to offer it to others to enjoy as well. My good friend and neighbour across the street on the beachfront acts as my caretaker - he is a retired British gentleman and together we will make sure you are happy and content with everything during your stay.
You will experience an authentic Yucatecan culture when you stay here - warm and friendly locals will greet you and make you feel welcome and comfortable while you are here.
Whether you choose to while away the afternoon swinging in one of the hammocks on the covered front terrace, being gently wafted by breezes from the Gulf of Mexico just across the street, enjoying the large swimming pool and patio in the private palapa grass fenced back yard, or make the 30 second trek across the street to swim in the warm emerald green waters of the Gulf of Mexico , you will feel rested, rejuvenated and your peace of mind/sense of wellness will be restored.
