Two Casitas Reviews

This is a lovely, private property with good access to town and hiking trails. The hot tub and fireplace are nice features, and the kitchen is very well equipped.While he property can sleep seven, it is best for four, particularly given the current bathroom situation.

We really appreciated how responsive Two Casitas was to any issue that came up.

We loved everything about our stay in the casita! I would stay there again in a heartbeat. What a great home base for our weekend exploring Santa Fe!

By far my favorite property that I have stayed with on HomeAway! It was quaint, cozy and perfect for a short get-away weekend, we will definitely be back!

This is a cute casita with classic southwest style that more than met our needs for several days in March. We always appreciate dog friendly rentals and this did not disappoint. Our dogs loved running up and down the stairs (we don't have such stairs at home) and the small fenced yard is perfect for letting them out without worrying about them running away. The neighborhood is quiet and though we didn't try to walk to the plaza (it was a bit chilly when we were there) one probably could have with a little motivation and some nice weather. It's more than a few blocks away, though. The casita had a wonderful kiva fireplace that was perfect when we got snow one day. The kitchen is well stocked and we used the fridge to store our Trader Joe's and Whole Foods items, for those days when we weren't stuffing ourselves with Santa Fe cuisine. The bathrooms had amazing fluffy towels. If I could ask for one thing to be improved in this casita it would be to turn up the temperature on the hot water. Just a little too cool for my taste, especially in the wintery weather. The management company was a dream to work with, they checked up on us regularly (via text) and responded immediately to any questions. Their restaurant recommendations for mole were spot on; Gabriel's was well worth the short drive, and though we didn't try Sazon, it looked amazing. Coyote Cantina was another gem that we found on our own, and for fabulous French pastries, breakfast, lunch, can't beat Clafoutis. Best eclairs this side of Paris! But I digress......Dog owners, there is a giant off leash dog park a few miles away called Frank S Ortiz dog park. The casita is about an hour drive to Ghost Ranch, a lovely day trip that our dogs enjoyed too. Would stay here again and would definitely work with the Two Casitas management company again!

1) Water pressure was very low. Took a comically long time to even fill a coffee pot. One day the gardener had the irrigation running and during that time, water inside the house was a trickle. Maybe this is normal for older houses in Santa Fe, but I wondered if renters should have been forewarned. 2) The control on the shower in the master bath needs to be tightened. It "flops" toward hot or cold and cannot be stabilized in a warm position. 3) Ants along window wall in master bedroom.

See above.

Great location, five blocks from the plaza, yet secluded and quiet.

Our three families (adults and kids ages 10-18) had a wonderful vacation in Santa Fe. Encantada was perfect for us. It was gorgeous, spacious and an easy walk to the plaza. Not sure how we were able to score such a great place Spring break week! Thank you to the whole Encantada team for making us feel welcome! We’d come back and stay in Encantada again.

The home was charming and spacious. The kiva fireplace was a great addition. The kitchen was really well stayed stocked. Although we were here in March, we were able to enjoy the outdoor area during the day. There were six adults and it fit us all very comfortably. The location was excellent - literally down the street from the Georgia O’Keefe museum and walkable to the Plaza. There were several good restaurants just up the street. This home is a gem.

I'm looking forward to staying at a different Two Casitas property on our next trip to Santa Fe

Great property and experience! Owners were very helpful and responsive. Location was convenient. Very clean and comfortable accommodations. Loved it!

Our little casita was adorable. We were welcomed with fresh flowers, wine and chips and salsa. The house was just adorably decorated with a fully functional kitchen. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom lovely. The only concerns we had were that (1) the furniture in the living area was not comfortable for sitting more than a few minutes. (2) The casita sits very close to Alameda Avenue, which is a busier street that I anticipated, especially on Saturday night. Because I had my white noise machine I was able to sleep ok. My friend in the back bedroom had no problem with the street noise.

This was a perfect property for my party to stay in. We appreciated the welcoming touches, the stocked amenities and the room to let our kids explore and play.

Thank you so much! We had a great stay at Encantada. Just a few minor things that might need to be fixed. The ceiling fan in the master bedroom wobbles when it is turned on, the black-out shades have a tendency to fall down when being adjusted (also the master bedroom), and it would be nice if the kitchen had either cling wrap or aluminum foil stocked. The property is beautiful though and we had a great time.

The house was bright and cheery. It was well equipped with good beds, towels and kitchen needs. Two Casitas was a great company to work with.

This was our first time in Santa Fe. It’s a beautiful place full of interesting sights, including the art and history as well as spectacular surroundings. We had lots to do and a cozy place to come home to.

Our family of 8 came for a week of skiing! Encantada had all the sleeping and hanging out space we needed. And the highlight of the home is the beds--we've rented all over the world and the beds are usually lacking....but all of us (except those in the twin beds because they are short beds, not the XL twins!) raved daily about the quality of the mattresses and the bedding! We spent time in the kitchen, the dining room, the bedrooms for sleeping and the downstairs living. We literally went from waking to breakfast, skiing all day, to showers, dinner and some hanging out before we crashed for the night. We played games and watched March Madness in the living; one of our girls had to work on homework and she enjoyed the two little chairs and table near the windows, but still in the midst of the family. I cooked two full meals for our crew each day--the kitchen is situated so that I could still be part of the group and engage in what everyone else was doing in the downstairs. Overall, we enjoyed the home and our time there!

The only thing the house was missing were pillow cases for the extra pillows. There were only two cases for one of the beds and lots of pillows with no cases in the closet. We used both pull out beds. Also the shower and bath lights in the master were out. Everything else was perfect. Thanks for a great stay!

We absolutely loved staying here. The house is truly a home. Every amenity has been thought of. And the decor is so wonderfully considered that we felt as if we lived there (and wish we did!}. Close to everything. And a short walk to Canyon Road. Snow fell as we checked out and made our stay all the more wonderful. Great House!

We had a wonderful week in Santa Fe at Tecolote. The location was perfect, and the house was charming. The beds and linens were excellent -- something I am picky about! If there were any recommended improvements I would make, it would be to redo/repair the decking and railings on the upper balcony. We loved it so much up there -- we practically lived out there morning and night -- because of the spectacular sun and views. But, many of the floor boards are warped and rotting and splintering apart, as is the railing. You can't go out there without shoes, and even with shoes, there were many spots where it was easy to trip and/or step on loose boards, and my kids got splinters from the railings twice. Given what an outstanding feature of the house this deck/balcony is, I really think it deserves a makeover to make it as practical as it is enjoyable a spot to relax. Thanks!
