The Casita is lovely--an absolutely wonderful, peaceful place to stay.
The indoor space is sparkling clean; bright and cheerful; and remarkably roomy (it feels much bigger than its actual square footage). The outdoor space is magical, especially when one arrives in the dark in the rain. I felt as if I was visiting a tropical paradise.
I was thankful for all the thoughtful touches that made for a great stay--from the comfy linens, quality bath and facial tissue, and the full sets of bathrooms towels ("a flannel for my face"!) to the trifecta of morning essentials--ground coffee, coffee maker, and creamer--in the beautifully designed and fully thought-through kitchen.
Appliance-wise, the kitchen is small but mighty. Despite having only a two-burner stove-top and a small fridge and freezer, there is everything one needs to comfortably prepare meals: plates, glassware, utensils, cookware, miscellaneous essentials (cheese grater!), and abundant counter space. One could pull together a very nice dinner after just a quick walk to nearby Sprouts or Trader Joe's!
The Casita does not have a dining table and chairs, but there's a nice couch inside and both chairs and low walls outside, so one could find a spot to sit and eat without having to be particularly coordinated.
One practical consideration for taller guests is the height of the shower stall. Overall, the Casita's ceilings are high, despite having some low spots, but the shower ceiling is unusually low (the shower head is lower than 6'). Water pressure, flow, and temp were excellent, but if you're tall, you might want to confirm the shower ceiling height before booking.
