We stayed at the casita for our honeymoon and it definitely exceeded all expectations. The home is a great getaway and while it is located in a neighborhood, it has the isolation feel of a real county cabin. Sedona has much to offer and can be a very reasonable trip if you enjoy the outdoors and take advantage of deals. Also, being from the Midwest, it is often difficult to get to "tourist destinations" without wasting full days due to traveling but Sedona is very close to PHX and is just a short flight away. We were at other casita within 6 hours of leaving downtown Omaha. I would definitely go back and stay at the Casita again. Polly is a great host and a good friend to have!

I would be remiss in not telling everyone about how wonderful this little hideaway is in Sedona. My husband and I stayed at Casita de los Santos in September and couldn't have been more pleased. The Casita is perfect, very clean and private. The views from the patio in the morning with our coffee or at night with a glass of wine in the hot tub were absolutely spectacular. Watching the hot air baloons in the morning and the sun setting at night can't be missed. You are situated in an area that is close to everything you could need, shopping, tours, hiking, dining, you name it. We hiked many of the formations and rafted the Colorado river, spent a day cruising through the Grand Canyon and a night at Lake Powell, all the while using the Casita as our home base. Polly was wonderful, not intrusive at all but called on numerous occasions to make sure we were comfortable, if we needed anything, and to give us suggestions on restaurants and best shopping spots away from the toursit crowd. We were blessed with spectacular weather and everyday was an adventure. Like I said "stop looking" because you can't find anything - in a private home setting - as cozy and comfortable with spectacular views as Casita de los Santos. Thank you Polly, we look at our pictures often and reminisce about the wonderful time we spent there. If we return to Sedona you shall hear from us, in the meantime I have passed on all of our information to friends and family so they too can enjoy a wonderful, peaceful, adventurous experience like we did in Sedona at Casita de los Santos. Thanks again

If you visit Sedona you can do no better than to stay at the Casita de los Santos. It is the perfect vacation rental and Polly is the perfect hostess. We emailed Polly that we would be arriving late from Phoenix our first night and we found the path to the house lit and the inside lights on so we could easily find our way. The location is wonderful...close to trails and the red rocks, yet only five minutes from town. The Casita is colorful and homey, designed by an artist, and has a true Southwestern feeling. It is very clean and well cared for. You are in a neighborhood yet feel very secluded. The views from the patio are spectacular. It was delightful to see Gambels quail with their funny plumed heads running around the "yard" each morning. The kitchen is compact but well equipped. It is easy to cook meals at "home" and delightful to eat them on the patio. With the washer and dryer you can pack light and don't have to pay for extra baggage. I cannot end this without mentioning how wonderful the hot tub was after a day on the trails or at night as a comfy spot to view the stars. If you have a chance to stay at the Casita, do it. You won't be sorry.

“What a perfect getaway! The casita is such a wonderful place to stay with the secluded location, beautiful views and quiet surroundings. The hot tub made for the perfect ending to a wonderful red rock day. Our king bed was so comfortable. The kitchen was fully equipped. You've thought of everything. All-in-all, this is the best place we have ever stayed and we had the time of our lives. Staying in the casita, with the incredible views and privacy, has been a truly memorable experience. You have the best views in the area, central to all Sedona has to offer. We wish our stay could have been longer, but we promise we'll be back soon. Thank you so very much, Polly, for making the casita the perfect 'home away from home.”

The Casita de los Santos was a wonderful place to rest, relax and catch my breath after hiking the local trails during the day in the scenic Sedona area. It is very cozy, and had everything I needed to be comfortable. The casita is in a quiet spot, and I enjoyed watching the birds and hot air balloons during the early morning from the patio, and stargazing from the hot tub at night. I enjoyed day trips to Jerome and the Grand Canyon, and Flagstaff is also a close but scenic drive away. Sedona itself has plenty of shopping, galleries restaurants and fun things to do. I hope to get back to the Casita de los Santos soon, as no other place in Sedona will compare!

The casita and environment were as described in the advertisement: perfect! The views of the mountains from the patio and also from the windows in the bedroom and living room were spectacular! The casita was well laid out and nicely furnished. I esp. appreciated that fact that provisions for basic supplies had been made (e.g., no need to go out and buy spices or cleaning materials or toilet paper or laundry soaps, etc.). It was a real plus to have laundry facilities and a dishwasher available as well as a DVD machine along with the TV. The casita is very well located = close to stores and uptown Sedona as well as hiking trails and parks (and the vortexes) but away from the noise and bustle of the "touristy" parts of Sedona. I appreciated the privacy, the peace and quiet and the beauty of the location. It was also a plus that the owner was not intrusive but yet was available for questions that arose. All in all, I highly and heartily recommend the casita and will remember my stay there as a time of tranquility, beauty and peace and quiet.

The casita is a gem! The views were amazing and the accommodations were quite comfortable and felt like a home away from home. It was the perfect place to relax and enjoy the red rock views after a day of hiking or off-roading in a jeep. Sedona has shops, fine dining, and wondrous scenery -- it doesn't get better than this!

Took a chance and got a grand slam. This vacation rental was perfect for the two of us in every way-- price, location, views and amenities. This very private Casita sits on a hill in West Sedona. The space is generous with a nice living area with fireplace and kitchen. The king size bed was terrific with private bathroom and all the accommodations of a home. The best feature was the patio with another fireplace and the greatest view that a grand hotel could never provide. I sat each morning sipping my coffee watching the hot air balloons float up in the distance. The patio faces west with the sunset lighting the golden rocks of Sedona's Thunder Mountain. The Casita is in walking distance to great trails. The central location also provides easy driving distance to shopping, great food and all the sites of Sedona. It was also wonderful to relax after sightseeing all day in the very private hot tub. I sat back and relaxed watching the shooting stars. I stopped counting the first night, too many to wish on. This is a great spot if you want a private home like experience. Can't say enough nice things about the Casita. The first thing I did when I got home was to rebook for the next year! Happy traveling.

Dear Polly, Thank you for such a beautiful retreat from our busy lives in Los Angeles. Casita de los Santos, with the fantastic views, was incredible! We couldn't have asked for anything more and appreciate so much that you provide everything that a renter would ever need. Hope to see you again in a few months.

What a great way to end our 30th wedding anniversary trip! Casita de los Santos was everything we hoped it would be, and more. The red rock views and the beautiful sunsets on the patio were fantastic!!!
