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.

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.

Amazing Place! Beautiful & so peaceful! 5-Stars ++ Exceeded expectations!
- This place was truly amazing! Pictures posted online do not do it any justice - the casita and grounds are much more beautiful than in pics. - If you're looking for peace and zen this is it! There is something healing about this place. - It was my husband's and my first VRBO! We were a bit nervous as we have not stayed in a VRBO/private estate before so we tried to manage our expectations before we arrived. And I'm more than happy to report that this place exceeded our expectations! - The casita was immaculate which was such a relief as I am extremely OCD on cleanliness. - Beautifully appointed with high-end/quality amenities (from kitchenware, furnishings, linens, washer/dryer, etc.) - Great coffee, water filter system so no need for case of bottled water! -And yoga mats!! - Sweet gestures to welcome guests - from snack basket to the eucalyptus shower bomb from a local business. - My husband & I went up to the Oxygen Room/Bamboo fortress and had some quiet/meditation time. Yoga mats and meditation mats were provided which was such a plus! - The host/innkeeper Elise is such a lovely human with a kindred spirit! She was so welcoming, yet not intrusive! - My husband and I came up the coast for some R&R and we definitely found our respite here! And if only, we could keep this place a secret/to ourselves, but it is so deserving (along with Elise) to be shared!

Holiday getaway
This was by far the best rental property that we have ever stated in! Elise was an excellent communicator right from the beginning and warm & personable! The casita that we stayed in was even nicer than the pictures which is usually not the case. It was clean, had all the amenities you could think of, comfortable, quiet & in the most beautiful location & setting! Elise provided a big book to offer suggestions of where to hike, dine, travel & any other activity you could think of. She offered to help us out in any way & was there with a response right away when I reached out. She gave complimentary snacks, wine, drinks, etc which was such a nice touch! We loved our private deck overlooking the woods as well as the gas fireplace which we used all the time to keep cozy & warm as the weather was damp & rainy a lot while we were there. The location was perfect, near the beaches, downtown, wineries, restaurants, but secluded to have the quietness. For all these reasons, we plan on coming back as it was just perfect in every way!

Amazing area to explore!
This casita was a perfect home base to explore the SLO area. Most everything was 15-20 min or less away; beaches, Cal Poly, wineries, SLO. The house hosts have thought of everything to make it comfortable-yoga mats, night lights, snacks, a book of suggestions of things to do. I would highly recommend this property!

Beautiful and serene
The casita is a perfect getaway spot tucked onto the hill above Pismo. It’s peaceful, relaxing, and there is ample outdoor shared space around the property to slow down and enjoy the sun, the stars, the fog, and the mist. I also worked remotely and had an easy time balancing the work and rest. Elise and Frank were friendly, extremely helpful, and very kind. Highly recommended. We would absolutely book again.
