Romantic SLO Wine Country Retreat near beaches

Casa de los Sueños Casita: KING Bed, Sleeps 2 Maximum
3-7 Night Minimum with discount for stays of 7 nights or more.

Designed in the unique Santa Fe style architecture, Casa de Los Sueños (House of Dreams) at Hacienda Felise has a very special ambiance. Your private one-bedroom, fully equipped casita is perfect for ADULTS as a couple's romantic getaway, girlfriends' retreat, or week of R&R. Art lovers are sure to recognize the Diego Rivera vibe in this sweet ‘house of dreams.’ Your 650 sq ft one-bedroom casita offers maximum privacy for your romantic getaway. Fully furnished with all the comforts of home make it perfect for longer stays so you can fully immerse yourself in all the diverse activity options of the Central Coast. Strong WiFi is a plus for those working remotely. You will enjoy the convenience of having fully equipped kitchen (full-size fridge, stove-top, convection/microwave oven, dishwasher) stocked with the basics including plenty of delicious eco-friendly coffee, tea, etc. for your first week with us. Your living area is appointed with sofa, fireplace, flat screen with Direct TV and a surround sound system. You'll find a brand new comfy KING bed with fresh quality linens, SMART TV for streaming your Netflix, Amazon etc. in the bedroom (but no cable), ample bath towels, double basin sinks, toiletries like soaps, shampoo/conditioner, hairdryer, even a washer and dryer.
The Central Coast has very moderate weather year-round, with the exception of a few days per year, but just in case they occur during your visit you can enjoy a nice breeze from the bedroom and living room ceiling fans. The French doors open up onto a private deck that overlooks an oak grove where deer, owls and other wildlife are often spotted.
On the grounds, we have unique cactus and succulent gardens, designed with an 'infinity walk' and an outdoor live bamboo oxygen room - perfect for yoga or meditation. At the top of the gardens there's a gazebo - an ideal spot to catch the sunset or enjoy your happy hour picnic.
Feel free to grab our beach towels and picnic tote we've left for you to borrow, and head to the beach or some of our country road wineries for a day of leisurely exploration. Plan a visit to one of our many Farmers' Markets and prepare a delicious meal in your kitchen, or grill some fresh caught fish out on your secluded deck as you sip some Edna Valley wine you discovered during your day's adventure.
After a day of taking in our beaches, trails, and wineries, unwind in front of the fireplace, catch a little satellite TV on the living room flat screen, stream movies on the bedroom SMART TV, or use the WiFi and surf the internet looking for current local events for tomorrow's adventure. (WiFi password details are in your Welcome Book) STRONG WiFi and all the comfortable amenities of home make your private casita deal for situations of WORKING REMOTELY! Plus, with longer stays you'll get to fully enjoy and immerse yourself in all the diverse activity options of the Central Coast.
SUSTAINABLE TRAVEL: We think it’s important to do what we can to minimize the environmental impacts of tourism.

About the host

Hosted by Elise

Host profile image
We are lovers of people, travel and adventure, and although we travel the world extensively, we feel there is no better place to call home than California's beautiful Central Coast.

With the abundance of local activities, you are likely to spot us out hiking, kayaking, at a yoga class, music event or wine tasting in Edna Valley or Paso Robles. We also enjoy history and exploring archaeological sites, road trips in our trailer, river rafting, canyoneering and rappelling.

We love sharing our special haven, tucked back on 3 acres that Frank lovingly tends to, and are here to help make sure your stay in the San Luis Obispo area is both relaxing, and eventful. If you have a question about the area we can point you in the right direction ensuring the best possible experiences.

5 things we love best when we travel are a clean dwelling, comfy bed, luxurious linens, good coffee, and a helpful host...we're betting that you do too!

Why they chose this property

Designed in the unique Santa Fe hacienda style architecture, our property has a very special ambiance.
