To say that David, our host, is a premier host is an understatement. My wife and i have traveled extensively and stayed with VRBO properties. This is BY FAR the most enjoyable and beautiful place to stay when visting the north of San Diego. David is truly an amazing not just host but person. The Casita is a perfect get away for two people and their beloved doggie. We had Ollee our love Havanese. He enjoyed visiting with Jackson and Annie the two lovely horses on the property.

Beautiful time at the Casita!

I recently stayed at the casita with my family, and I must say, it was a wonderful experience. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by the owners who were incredibly kind and welcoming. They took great care of us throughout our 10-day stay and were especially considerate of our little ones and dogs. One of the highlights of our trip was the opportunity to see horses up close. My five and two-year-old sons were absolutely thrilled to be able to interact with these beautiful creatures. It was a unique experience that they will cherish for a long time. What truly made our stay exceptional was the hospitality of the owners. They went above and beyond to make us feel at home and were always available to assist us and provide local recommendations. Their genuine care and attention to detail made a big difference in our overall experience. I am so glad that I chose this property for our stay. It provided us with a perfect blend of relaxation, adventure, and quality family time. I highly recommend the casita to anyone looking for a getaway in a great location with beautiful views!

Tranquility & Ease

Our casita was lovely, well-furnished and spotless. The bed was excellent and the shower and walk-in closet were spacious. Our private environment outside the casita included a full patio and a hayloft overlooking (currently unoccupied) horse stables and training rings. The only sounds we heard during our entire three night stay were birds and the occasional lawn sprinkler. Our host David was genuinely warm and shared several excellent tips for activities nearby (our favorite was the beautiful Del Mar dog beach). We look forward to returning to this sublime getaway.

If you want your pet to have as great a vacation as you...

Staying at the Casita at Rancho Santa Fe was a dream come true. Sparkling clean, full of light, a great welcoming for both my dog and I, this great place is filled with peace. The owners love animals, and have outstanding ability in reading dogs, behavior training and getting them in balance. On occasions when I couldn’t take my four-legged friend with me, he received excellent care through the pet-sitting/playing/interaction service they offer. If you want your pet to have as great a vacation as you are, this is the place. For my special requests, the owners’ ready help and speedy attention - with a smile and assurance it was no problem - was over the top.

wonderful casita

David and Jane were awesome hosts. They even let our dog out for a quick play while we went to the Safari park. This place is pretty magic, as is the cute downtown of Rancho Santa Fe. I highly recommend their casita but it is not where you'd want to cook any gourmet meal. Course, there are so many places to eat we didn't care. We could stay again... VERY cozy bed as well.
