Charming Property!

This place is absolutely charming! It's clear the hosts have put a lot of effort into making this home attractive and comfortable for guests. It is very clean, so well decorated and they even provided snacks (something we have never seen before in a vacation rental). Bed was also very comfortable. We enjoyed the hot tub as well. Also appreciate that they allow pets!

Lovely Casita

As cute as the pictures and a thousand times more comfortable. My mom and I felt like we had booked a room at the spa instead of a VRBO. The hosts were super communicative and made sure everything was going well each step of our stay. Location was convenient to everywhere we wanted to go, too. We will definitely be back!

This place was awesome!! Great decor and attention to detail all the way down to the silverware!! Wish we could have stayed longer because the place was so clean and comfortable.

Lovely Casita

We arrived here after a long drive. It’s just as described in the listing. It’s in a quiet area even though it’s close to the interstate. We loved the patio and especially the hot tub. It’s perfect for a single person or couple. The host is quick to respond to any of your questions or needs! We would stay here again when traveling in the area.

The house was exactly as described. Very clean, good location and lots of privacy. The outdoor area was very nice as well, we enjoyed the hot tub very much. We had colder weather so we didn't use the grill, but it was there.The extras and all the attention to detail the owners provided just put it over the top. We would definitely like to visit again.

Welcoming casita

The casita was very cute and convenient to the freeway. It was very clean and the host provided all of the necessary items needed for our stay. The back patio was fenced in and was a fun space for relaxing. The neighborhood is in the process of transitioning, and some houses are in good repair and others need a lot of work.
