We were honored to be the first VRBO guests to stay here. We were looking for a home close to Carmel Beach, pet friendly, and enough room for family and friends (six adults). La Casita did not disappoint, a 100 year old house that was recently remodeled - great bathrooms, bedrooms, and living room. The fireplace was a personal highlight - so cozy and gave out great heat at night. Online pics did not do the property justice and views from the living room and kitchen of the ocean and Pebble Beach were great, as well as listening to the ocean waves every day/night from every room. Dave was very gracious and interactive as a host to figure out what we needed and fix anything necessary. Although the kitchen was small, it was perfect for a vacation, had everything we needed, and we used the new grill extensively in the courtyard. Washer/dryer in the garage very useful. Our dog loved the fenced in lawn and landscaped pathways - unusual for houses in this area. Walking to the beach was a breeze, and walking downtown and back for meals/shopping was a great little workout for us middle agers. Good for our adult sons and nephews since excellent beach volleyball courts were a short walk away, and pickleball nearby. Convenient to drive down to Crossroads Safeway and additional restaurants and we hit Big Sur twice as well (go on a weekday to avoid crowds and hit the Big Sur Bakery!). We were lucky to find this place and appreciated the warm welcome from the hosts - we will be back!
