As described in The Guardian (August 2022), Casa Sandia "exudes a sense of the past and reflects its historical surroundings." Walking through the entry into the main living space is like stepping into an 80+ year history of life in Barrio San Sebastian. Continue to the garden pool to return to centuries past, when only the Maya lived amongst this lush jungle of the Yucatan. You'll find tasteful decor, comfortable beds, and modern amenities to tie it all together. So go ahead, book your slice! The space Casa Sandia (Casa Watermelon for you English-speakers) is the latest addition to the @CasasThorpe collection, which features a number of other houses in Merida with 4.8 and up reviews.

Other things to note House for sale: Please note that Casa Sandia is currently listed at a reduced nightly rate in exchange for allowing up to two 30-minute showings per week during your stay. You will not need to be present and we will coordinate with you at least 24hrs in advance to select a minimally invasive time. Typically, we do 2-3 showings per month, so it's quite possible there won't be any during your stay, but we want to be forthcoming :) We use a non-toxic treatment on a regular basis to keep the insect population under control because we want to give you "the jungle experience, but clean." However, please consider that Merida is a tropical zone and you may occasionally encounter a stray bug or two.
