Lovely Casita

Wonderful! This casita is one of the better VRBO properties I’ve stayed in. Tastefully decorated, and thoughtfully appointed with amenities and those little details that make a place special. We were pleasantly surprised by the lovely outdoor spaces, and the warm welcome we received from our hosts, which included a short tour of the grounds, and kind offer to help ourselves to veggies growing in the raised beds. The luxe king bed had beautiful linens, and was extremely comfortable. There really wasn’t a detail missed in this unit, and it was fresh and clean. Highly recommend. This will be the “go to” place when visiting Rancho Santa Fe.

Whaou!! What a Casita dream 🙌it was beyond expectations and everything was so perfect for us. La Casita was so clean and comfortable all the amenities in the kitchen were perfect( Thank you for the brand new Nespresso coffee machine 🙏🏻. Our host ( Larry and Carol ) were so friendly showing around the community and advised us about hiking.We really enjoyed eating in there garden surrounded by their own vegies and flowers.Perfect place to stay because it’s very quiet and also if you live swimming, the community swimming pool area is just amazing. It was my 55th birthday and it was a real gift, we’ll come back for sûre!!! Carole &Bruno

All the comforts of home in a lovely setting

Pristine, quiet, artfully decorated and an incredibly comfortable casita. Location is about fifteen minutes (drive) to Cardiff, Solano and Del Mar beaches. We had a wonderful time and look forward to returning.
