"Wonderful house in a quiet area. Overall well equipped. Walking distance to DT Paso (I disagree with previous posts that the house is not in walking distance - its only a 15-20 min no-rush walk, which is really nothing). Nice garden with frequent deer visits. Very clean. Great communication with the host. Plenty of parking space. I would definitely return!"

"We can’t say enough about how impressed we are with Casa de los Suenos, Elise, and the location. The Casita is so well designed, appointed and cared-for. Elise was a welcoming and helpful host both before and during our stay. She has put together a guidebook that can rival many a visitors center. The setting is so restful, quiet and calming, surrounded by unique and beautiful gardens. This is a great location for nearby hiking, beaches, wineries, golfing, and all that Central Coast has to offer....
