My husband and I visited for a long weekend and absolutely loved this place! The hosts were very welcoming and it is obvious that a lot of love and care went into every detail of this place. The pool was incredible and the casita was comfortable and very well-appointed. Highly recommend!

Home Away From Home

We couldn't have asked for more. Perfect location. Just a few blocks form family. The Casita was extremely private, cozy and wow what a beautiful set up. Every little detail was amazing. The host was charming and helpful. We will definitely look to stay again when we head to Phoenix.

Wonderful stay at Casita Serena!

We spent an incredibly relaxing few days in Charles and Fito's casita. The space is even better than the photos, the beds are incredibly comfortable, the rain shower is luxurious, and we thoroughly enjoyed both the indoor and outdoor space. They have thought of everything from the welcome snacks to the ice maker. One of our favorite VRBOs! Thank you!

Rest and Relaxation!!!!

We spent a wonderful week at this guesthouse. Everything was as advertised. We really enjoyed having the Phoenix Mountain Reserve just down the street to facilitate hiking every day. The private courtyard was very much an oasis from the day to day travails of life under covid. Highly recommended!!!

Golf and Baseball annual vacation

We arrived at the house and a cottage therewith connected. The cottage a nice two bedroom was our home for the week. Very clean and we had access to the outdoor grill, pool, Jacuzzi and sitting areas. Although Charles and Fito were not present for much of our stay their company was always welcome when the were. We had an enjoyable vacation and the cottage had much to do with that.

Exceptional, in every way

Charles and Fito have created a ‘home away from home’ that is exceptional: an oasis ( beautiful back garden/pool area, a guest house that is beautifully furnished and provides excellent comfort, and hospitality ( basic amenities and their help w suggestions for the area). We loved staying here, really enjoyed chatting with them, and genuinely hope to return....and return. Patty and Rob

A tranquil place with comfort and style

What a beautiful place this is and so calming. My sister and I each had our own room with a queen bed and lovely furnishings. It has a nice living room so we could visit or watch a movie. There is a mint fridge and silverware and plates, bowls ,,etc so we ordered grub hub or went out. Great restaurants and many things we did, including Spring Training And a day at the pool with massage and lunch at The Valley Ho. The owners could not be more helpful and very kind.

Magical backyard ❤️

A great place to stay. Always a bit leery when you see such beautiful pictures on Vrbo, and wonder if they measure up and in this case it i did and all that and more! The indoors is beautifully and tastefully decorated. The outdoors/pool absolutely gorgeous. The beds were comfortable. The extra goodies, a special touch. We used the hot tub regularly and they were very accommodating. The host are wonderful. There is a very busy street on the backside of the property but they have done an excellent job in using the waterfalls in the pool to mask the noise. It absolutely was not a problem at all. If we come back to Phoenix, we will book it again!

Enchanting serene experience!

This property was just over the top lovely and much more then I ever expected from the photographs and description on VRBO. I have booked all of my vacations on VRBO and always have been pleased with the accuracy of the properties, but this little place was much more then can conveyed in photos. It has by far been my favorite surprise. Everything is so well though out, down to the last details. The very private outdoor seating areas are amazing and the pool, complete with waterfall, is more then beautiful. It’s hard to believe that this backyard area is in an urban setting. The beds are so comfortable and roomy. The location is excellent to any activities that we participated in in Phoenix since the main highway was just blocks away. I simply cannot write how happy and delighted we were with this rental !! Yes, if I ever return to Phoenix, this is where I will stay again.

Beautiful, relaxing, and convenient location

We stayed 4 nights, and throughly enjoyed the stunning back yard and pool area, as well as the cute and comfortable casita. Charles was an excellent and responsive host, that made us feel welcome and at home. The location is so convenient for traveling back into Phoenix, Scottsdale, or up north to Sedona. There is some traffic noise, but the incredible crystal waterfall pouring into the pool masks most of the noise. The landscaping is lovely, and attracted hummingbirds on the patio. The casita has multiple different private patios and lounge areas, but we spent most of our time in the shared pool area. An incredibly relaxing space. I also really enjoyed being able to run down the street and access miles of trails at the Phoenix Mountain Preserve. Would 100% stay again if we return to the Phoenix area.

Outstanding Casita!

This beautiful casita was perfect for our 3-day business trip. The Casita absolutelu perfect in every way - it was clean, well decorated, had treats for us to munch on, the beds were super comfy, and it had alot of extras which was impressive! It was centrally located with easy access to highways along with being close to grocery stores, retaurants and much more. The back yard was gorgeous with a pool, waterfall, hot tub, BBQ grill, and plenty of seating areas. The owners - Charles and Fito - were friendly, professional and extremely helpful. We would highly recommend staying at this wonderful casista.

Amazing peaceful property!

This was a great easy experience. Charles was very communicative if we needed anything and came out to say hi a few times which we loved. They have a cat named Jet who was the second highlight of the trip (first being the hot tub). Will stay here again in a heartbeat! Anything you needed at your fingertips and very clean.

An absolute GEM!!!

Charles and Fito are such gracious, kind hosts; their property is stunningly beautiful, and there were a number of considerate amenities that made this such a special place to stay over the holidays. Very appreciative and definitely recommend!! Only regret: we were so packed in with plans that we had little time to enjoy the pool, waterfalls and hot tub!

BEST VRBO EXPERIENCE EVER⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The Casita is possibly the best VRBO experience in the world! Mom & I met in the middle here and If we hadn’t had appointments for some pampering, we never would’ve left the Casita. It was that magical. The overhead rain shower was simply fabulous! The beds were more comfortable than my own at home and P I L L O W S YES!!! They even had extras!! They really thought of just about everything you would need with easy simple to understand instructions for everything . It was magnificent & of course our time chatting in the hot tub was priceless 💖 we will definitely be back!!
