we were very impressed with our stay. We felt very welcomed and the accommodations were excellent. we would return in a heart beat to this property. They even picked up subs we had ordered for us as they were near the sub shop. Charles and Fito were excellent hosts!

The property was centrally located for the activities we had planned for the long weekend of spring training baseball. We took advantage of the pool and hot tub at the end of the day and appreciated the seclusion provided by the owners. We will stay here again!

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!

This 2 bedroom casita was as great as advertised. The pool, waterfall, hot tub and plenty of room to lounge around. A huge grill for those who love to bbq. This casita is a must if you're coming to Phoenix. Your hosts Charles and Fito are the best!

Charles and Fito were great hosts and were very accommodating. We really enjoyed the 8 nights we stayed at Casita Serena. It is an excellent choice for a home away from home. The pool area is like an Oasis and the Casita Serena is cozy.
It has everything one would need for a get-away. It is located in a cul-de-sac within a nice community--the area made us feel safe as well.
Restaurants and the mountains are very close to the property. We highly recommend Casita Serena.

Casita Serena is a serene, peaceful and calming guesthouse. The beautifully decorated home has comfy beds, a cozy gas fireplace, luxurious towels/robes, delicious snacks and teas to welcome you, and the views are gorgeous! There is a pool/spa view from one bedroom and the living room, and a pretty patio view from the other bedroom. We loved relaxing in the hot tub, listening to the sounds of the waterfalls and the windchimes. Charles and Fito are wonderful hosts and they have a little slice of heaven in Phoenix!

The Casita was fabulous! we all enjoyed the pool area although the weather was cooler than normal we really enjoyed the hot tub, indoors there was everything we needed and more. The area is ideally suited for exploring the area around Phoenix and we hope to return in the future. Charles and Fito were friendly and helpful hosts who couln't do enough for us.We would highly recommend a visit if you are in the area.

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.

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!

Casita Serena was the perfect place to stay during our visit with son who lives in Phoenix. The photos were exactly as shown. It is beautiful and serene. There are many attention to details throughout the casita and the surrounding pool area. The location is ideal. The Casita was extremely clean and delightful. We can’t wait to come back for another visit to our son!

Sometimes the photos in listings are misleading, but in this case the reality is even better than the photos. Lovely casita with everything you might need for your stay including shampoo/conditioner, coffee/tea, towels, welcome snacks and bottled water. Comfortable beds and quiet, serene location.

Second time here, both times for a girls visit, 7 days. Beautiful updates since last visit. Clean and Charming space with wonderful art to enjoy. Love that we can choose sun or shade with various seating options. Portable ice maker was great, used stainless mugs to preserve the ice in. Bar b queued two nights. Plush towels, 4 bathrobes provided. Various sundries provided in bathroom, body lotion, shower gel, shampoo/conditioner. We left some 30 sunscreen behind. Don’t doubt that we will be back again, thanks guys!!

The property is beautiful, and has a beautiful pool area, and a fabulous bathroom. We did wish there were plugs for cell charging in the rear bedroom on the one night table, that the a/c was a little stronger in the rear bedroom, that there was a luggage rack (we used one closet shelf for our first carry-on but didn't want to put our second carry-on on the bureau with mirror and so we used the floor), and that the shower and tap water were not set at so dangerously (to us) a hot level, that there was an induction friendly fry pan to use on the portable induction stove top (we used the microwave alternative for our brown and serve sausages), table knives were sharper, and that the neighbor's huge pickup wasn't always parked in front of the Casita so our on-street parking/unpacking had to be one or two neighboring houses away. The wifi user name on the Expedia introductory emails was not the same one as came up when at the residence; Casita2, not CasitaGuest but we figured it out. We loved the Casita furnishings, wifi, bathroom and lotions, private and public outside eating areas, pool and pool floats and night lighting, and the fancy snacks that were available in the kitchenette. Charles came out while we were sitting poolside at breakfast the first morning to introduce himself. He provided an excellent suggestion for a local dinner restaurant; PV Pie and Wine. If in Phoenix again, we would definitely stay at Casita Serena. It is easily a vacation destination on its own

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!

Casita Serena was perfect!
My wife and I loved Casita Serena! It was perfect for us, exactly what we were looking for. The casita was ready for us on time and super clean! The casita had everything we needed for a three night stay.
There are two Queen beds to choose from, firm and plush. Plenty of towels in the bathroom with lots of amenities, soap, toothpaste shampoo etc. if you forget something. They even supply robes to wear.
There is a kitchenette with a small refrigerator, no freezer but has a counter top ice maker for drinks. Microwave, hot plate, toaster, coffee maker. Outside Bar-B-Que.
The best part was the backyard. It has a sparkling clean dark blue tiled pool and spa with water features you can control with a supplied IPAD. No need to bother the owners to turn on/off the spa. There are lots of places to relax in the back yard, chairs, lounges, patio tables. We enjoyed eating our meals outside on the patio.
The owners, Charles and Fito, are super nice people who made sure we had everything we needed and answered any questions we had about the property.
Our stay was great! Relaxing by the beautiful pool, enjoying the peaceful sounds of the water features, using the spa at night was wonderful. The backyard has privacy from the neighboring homes. Great for a romantic couples getaway.
We highly recommend Casita Serena. We would definitely go back to this wonderful property.
Thank you Charles and Fito!

Paradise at Casita Serena
Initial expression was impressive and it just grew from there. One of the hosts, Charles, met us at the door and reviewed how everything on the property worked and where everything was. There is even a book with pictures to explain how everything on the property works. The whole place was stocked with so many extras. From coffee, tea and many delicious snacks to big fluffy bath towels, a well stocked bath and robes. The back yard was amazing with a beautiful pool with a crystal water fall with gorgeous lighting and a hot tub. There is a pergola with a comfy seating and a beautiful fire pit. There was an area for corn hole and darts. The decor was so nice and the beds were comfortable. Wish we could have spent our whole vacation there and may in the future. Our hosts were so kind even offered to give us a lift to near by eateries. Thank you for making the first stop of our first vacation in two years so relaxing and perfect.

Perfect getaway!
We loved the very private pool & spa at Charles & Fito’s Casita Serena. It was a relaxing, rejuvenating few days we spent together, enjoying the beautiful casita and artwork, the private patio areas, their wonderful hospitality and, of course, under the stars at night in the hot tub! We felt very pampered, as every last detail was well thought out & provided!

Resort like property, but private experience.
This two bedroom casita felt like home. The private pool and spa was surrounded by beautiful gardens and tasteful outdoor art. It was magical at night! There were many sitting areas to enjoy and a game area for darts and corn hole. Charles and Fito are great people and we can’t begin to describe how very much we enjoyed our special times together. ❤️❤️❤️

Amazingly tranquil
The owners seriously thought of EVERYTHING! They were very helpful and understanding to our needs even after a little hiccup in our group. They were gracious and thoughtful. The pool and spa were just what we needed to relax from this busy crazy world we're living in. I would recommend this property to anyone needing a private getaway. The property is located right in the middle of town and super convenient. DO NOT HESITATE TO BOOK! SIMPLY AMAZING!

Better than Home
Outstanding place to stay. Charles was the best host ever! The details and extra’s he has put into his property will make you want to stay longer.
A lot of places are about the money, this home is about the experience. Staying at the Casita will make you wonder why you ever want to stay somewhere else. Love, love, loved this property.
Can’t wait to come back!
