Spring Training
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!

Magical backyard ❤️
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!

Great Casita at a perfect location

An Oasis in the Desert
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.

Delightful Oasis
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!

Golf and Baseball annual vacation
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.

Wonderful stay at Casita Serena!
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.
