Casita Azul, Mesilla Plaza Only Steps Away

Beautiful property. We'll equipped kitchen. Bed was incredibly comfortable. Beautiful patio. Lovely neighborhood.

Great location, private and quiet, but only steps away from the plaza. The kitchen was equipped with everything one could want, as was the rest of the casa.

A delightful, charming, spacious historic home just a few steps from Mesilla plaza. It was a real treat to have stayed here.

Fabulous! Highly recommend for a cozy and comfortable stay. Love the traditional folk art decor. Charming to the highest degree!

This was a great place to stay! Our host was very welcoming!

Our stay was pleasant and a good experience. The place is really convenient to the old town square. The host is lovely and parking was easy with the reserved spaces. The unit is a bit small, but still bigger than we expected. The decor is maximalistic, in today’s trendy term. Our family tends to be more minimalistic, which is why we could not stop looking at all of the many neat trinkets in the place, which is well arranged. I love natural light, so the unit was slightly dark with the blue lighting. However, this would be a nice place to cool down in the summer months. The couch is low and a bit difficult to get out of, but the beds sleep nicely. Hot water is limited, so stagger showers, if possible! Overall nice place with a few inconveniences that were expected. The visit and experience was definitely worth the quirks!

Great location and folks

We had the unexpected pleasure of the owner being the daughter of La Mesilla and New Mexico leader with a strong historical heritage. The Taylor Family. We experienced their long connection to this traditional part of New Mexico.

This beautiful property was very clean and very inviting. The communication with the host was excellent. It was like taking a trip back in time without sacrificing the comforts of today. The property and the surrounding areas were full of charm. The church bells from the nearby church were a welcomed surprise. We would definitely consider staying here again.

My husband and I fell in love with the beautiful property and the serenity. We loved the little touches that made us feel at ease such as the wine, thick towels, toiletries, the soft blue lights and comfortable bedding and pillows with a cool air conditioner. Walking around the neighborhood was very nice and every place we visited was welcoming . It was a perfect way to celebrate our 49th wedding anniversary. Only wish there was a pool and music and dancing within walking distance too.

This is a great, authentic property to stay at in central Mesilla, walkable to the town's restaurants and shopping and close to NMSU. Loved the decor and patio too.

Just fantastic! Could not have asked for more. Great communication. Clean and comfortable. Convenient location. We were able to walk to so many great restaurants, coffee houses and quaint little stores! Loved it!

Lovely host, great location and very comfortable home. Would book again. Thank you!

Host, Mary, is definitely a good host. She responds and follows through.Although we did not utilize any kitchen items, it looked well equipped for guests.Church ringing bells was definitely great to hear!

The two of us had a wonderful week in Casita Azul! I can’t imagine a place that would have pleased or suited us any better. It was spacious and comfortable; it felt like home, an authentic Southwest adobe home. What a delightful place! The kitchen was well equipped with anything we could need. Importantly for us, we slept well in the comfortable king-size bed. The private patio was a favorite, with the flowers and plants—and no city sounds!The location was perfect for us: it’s near the edge of town yet a short, one-block walk to the plaza and all that it offers . At the same time, it provides easy access to anything in and around Mesilla and Las Cruces as well as to interstates that go in all four directions from Mesilla. I was sad that we didn’t get to meet Mary Helen in person, as she was out of town, but we did talk and text. Every need was met. Her welcome binder communicated everything we needed to know about the casita, and books and flyers in the living room helped us find things to do and places to go. This is definitely a place we would return to and have talked about a longer stay here.

Beautiful casita in historic Mesilla. The host Mary Helen is a wonderful host. Easy check-in. Hope it is available next time we come for a visit.

The property was clean, beautiful and well-furnished. The proximity to Mesilla was fantastic, where we could walk to great restaurants. (La Posta is a favorite) We hope to stay there soon again. It was such a quaint home. The hosts could not have been nicer.

They had everything we needed and more. It was absolutely charming and the hostess was fabulous and accessible. It was a short distance to the Town Square and within a short walking distance of many really good restaurants.

Lovely location and decor.

This is the perfect place to stay! It is in a great location making it walkable to many restaurants. The place is beautifully decorated, spacious, and comfortable. We felt immediately at home. The parking spot was steps from the front door. Mary, the host, is incredibly nice as well as her cute dog, Millie. We would definitely stay here again!

The host was very easy to communicate with. The property is steps away from the historic center of Mesilla. The casita gets an A for comfort and charm.

Such a beautiful casita in the heart of the town square. Mesilla is such a safe community -oriented friendly town! Mary Helen was attentive to our needs and friendly—she gave great advice on what to do and where to go. Christmas in Mesilla is AMAZING!

Host is amazing

The casita is warm and inviting and our host is amazing, very knowledgeable about the area and quite friendly. Bed comfy, plenty of towels. Adobe walls kept things warm during desert nights. Central to everything Mesilla - we didn't need a car for wining and dining. Would absolutely stay here again!

This is the second time we have stayed at this lovely Casita. It’s roomy and comfortable with a full kitchen and laundry. The host was very helpful with providing everything we needed for our stay and gracious with gifting us a nice bottle of wine waiting for us on our arrival. The location is perfect for staying in Mesilla and Southern New Mexico. We will definitely stay here again.

Absolutely amazing!! Beautiful inside and outside!! Host was super nice!

I’d come back again

What a wonderful blend of history and southwestern flair! We loved that it was located in the quaint town of Mesilla,very close to Las Cruces. It is within walking distance of several good resturants unique shops and museums. It was very comfortable and we would definitely stay again.

Highly recommend staying here. It's comfortable, clean, charming -- the three Cs! -- and Mary Helen is a lovely host. Half a block from the plaza and so within easy walking distance of your morning coffee, your great bookstore browse, lunch -- and dinner -- if you'd like. Peaceful.

I have stayed here before and will again. This place is beautiful and in a great location. It fits perfectly into the area. Just walking in makes you feel comfortable.

Omg! I cannot give enough praise for the host and the property. The casita was the cutest and so very comfortable. The host was very welcoming and kind. The casita was very clean.and well stocked with the little things that make your stay comfortable. Speaking of comfort , the beds were wonderful! Great location .we loved loved loved our stay. Within walking distance of the historic village of Mesilla . Lots of shops and full of history. Absolutely a perfect stay . Oh and coffee everyday on the patio!

Very beautiful little casita! Nice and quiet, felt safe, and Mesilla is lovely. The hosts are very gracious.

So peaceful and quiet. Only the comforting church bells and birds were heard! Clean, comfortable accomodations.

Amazing property. Walking distance to great dining options. Casita Azul is clean, tastefully decorated and stocked with all the essentials. Mary Helen is a great host.

This place felt like home away from home. Really clean and very spacious. A couple of steps and you are in the heart of Mesilla. We will definitely be back.

Once again, we loved our stay in the charming, clean, and comfortable Casita Azul. The owners have thought of everything in this tastefully appointed home. Mesilla is a gem in New Mexico, and this house is just off of the original town plaza. This is a welcome respite if traveling: The thick walls and neighborhood mean that the only outside noise you hear comes from the bells of the local church. We hope to return again.

It was not just a very comfortable home but the history of both the familiy and their role in the developing Mesilla was amazing. We learned about the history through literature and art as well as from the host themselves and through their National Trust building. The location put us right on the square so we could visit sites by foot and walk the canals through pecan orchards. In a few days we felt like we knew Mesilla well. The house was a big part of the charm.

Perfect place to stay during your visit to Mesilla/Las Cruces.

Wow what a great experience. The location was great,our hostess was fantastic and the apartment was perfect. We wish we could have stayed longer.

La Casita Azul is a really nice, quiet, and comfortable place to stay, and it was our most favorite rental property we've stayed in over the years. Its location just behind the historic Mesilla plaza is ideal - visitors can walk everywhere - and the lodging itself is charming and authentically furnished. The hosts are right next door in the historic building and are attentive, kind, and welcoming. This is a gem amid the many generic hotel chains in Las Cruces.

This was probably one of our best VRBO stays yet. First and foremost was the cleanliness. The floors were white sock clean. There were lots of decorative knickknacks appropriate for the location and accommodation. They were dust free. The kitchen utensils, dishes, pots and pans were clean. The towels and bedding were fresh and not wore out. So first impressions we were off to a good start. Next, we were cooking most of our meals, nothing fancy. There were adequate pans and utensils for cooking. The appliances were clean and in good working order. Additionally, the unit was quiet and the air conditioning worked great. We also enjoyed the table and chairs on the patio outside the bedroom area. The living area furniture was comfortable and WiFi was fast and reliable. We also enjoyed the historic ambiance of the unit. The location was great. Not even a block’s walk and we were on the historic square in Mesilla. We didn’t have to worry about finding a parking spot. Casita Azul made a good base to explore the Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument, the Prehistoric Trackways National Monument, and White Sands National Park. Last, Mary Helen was quickly responded to communications and was very friendly and helpful. We would love to go back and stay at Casita Azul again sometime.

We loved staying in Mesilla. The casita location allowed us to explore the village at our pace. Such a historic village and casita!

The owners did a beautiful historical renovation of the home that preserved the cultural art and style of Mesilla. The home was immaculate and the furnishings were very comfortable. The home is in a quiet neighborhood just a block from the Plaza. I enjoyed hearing the church bells ring every half hour (they dont ring during the night). My little dog enjoyed the secure backyard and walking around the village.

And Mesilla is the place to stay in southern NM! Casa Azul is steeped in the history of the town, along with a highly responsive host and sparkling clean spaces. The apartment is very well-appointed with kitchen ware, etc., and is decorated to reflect the deep heritage of the area. Also, primo location. We only wish we could have stayed longer!

Ok place for a few nights, comfortable bed. Consider an update to older cookware and kitchen appliances, providing nicer soaps and shampoo/conditioner (we were given mismatched, half-used bottles of discount store brands), cleaning sofa upholstery, providing nicer hangers (closet had old wire hangers). Owner has some nice art, but there was too much clutter for our tastes.

Convenient to Mesilla Square, clean and well equipped

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at the spectacular Casita Azul which was perfect for our needs and in a wonderful location. Casita Azul brims with art and beautiful plants which complement its adobe charm. Our gracious host, Mary Helen, has thought of everything her guests might need. We especially enjoyed the well equipped kitchen, the gorgeous patio space, and ample seating throughout.

Siesta by the plaza after a walk along the ditches

The property is historic and everything in it has been refined to the smallest detail. Artwork fills every wall, nook, and cranny creating a colorful atmosphere. Everything you need to cook is provided in the kitchen. The king sized bed was very comfortable and had luxurious sheeting. EVERYTHING WAS THE BEST!!!

La Casita Azul is a beautifully decorated, historically located place in the heart of Mesilla! The owner was responsive, knowledgeable and hospitable. We recommend it without reservations!

Mary Helen is a great host who was attentive and responsive. The spot is well equipped and a beautiful home. Very walkable to center of town and local shops and restaurants.

Everything about our stay was perfect! Accurate listing, easy to check in, comfortable beds. We will definitely book this place again!
