Plaza Casita *Close to Town*

This charming, light-filled bungalow is full of character and walking distance from the heart of town. A perfect little oasis to unwind after adventures in the area and comes complete with an eat-in-kitchen, dining room, lovely patio area and gated yard space. The Casita is well-appointed, and fully stocked with everything you might need to cook a fabulous meal, or just enjoy a glass of wine by the fireplace in the evening. A private driveway makes it easy to unload--come getaway at the Casita!
The space
The Casita is a quaint, 2 bedroom, 1 bath home complete with an additional laundry area, eat-in-kitchen, dining room, large living room and outdoor patio space.

The primary suite consists of a king-sized bed with a dedicated workspace and large closet filled with extra bedding supplies.

The secondary suite is just off of the main bathroom, and is made up of a queen size bed and another large closet space. Both rooms have portable heaters to ensure a comfortable heating experience for each guest's taste, as well as white noise machines for added comfort.

The bathroom has a tub/shower combo, perfect or families.

Find many relaxing places to sit and unwind in the living room near the gas-fireplace. Enjoy a streaming service on our smartTV, or listen to some jams from the bluetooth speaker in the dining room while you enjoy a home cooked meal.

French doors lead out to the patio area where there is a comfortable outdoor dining area, a wonderful place to enjoy a morning brew. Another private and fenced yard awaits on the other side of the house for those look to capture some sun in a more private area.
Guest access
Guests will have full access to the entire home. The storage shed remains locked during your stay.
Other things to note
The Casita is adjacent to our long term tenants. On Wednesday evenings the tenants have to go through the patio area to put the trash cans out at the street.

My family and I had a very pleasant stay! Plaza Casita is very walkable to great restaurants, the grocery store, and Cal Poly Humboldt (which we were checking out for my son). The only weird thing that happened was that Vrbo cancelled my trip (after we'd already paid and while we were in route to our destination), but Amy (the host) and I were able to stay in communication, and she knew we were still planning to stay. Aside from that little hiccup (and the bit of confusion we both experienced), my family and I had a great time! It was a perfect place for us to stay!

Fun and cozy

The Plaza Casita is a lovely property. Just enough space for four adults to move comfortably. The king bed is so comfortable!! We had everything we needed and it was just a short walk to restaurants, a really neat brewery, a winery, and grocery store. Everything we needed or wanted!

Cozy, well-located, clean Casita

Two bedroom with Jack & Jill bath (bathroom between two bedrooms). Well-supplied kitchen and home. You can tell Amy has worked in hospitality for a number of years - well-suited and placed furniture and supplies. Dining magazine and Host notebook were outdated. Minetti’s for example closed in 2024. I understand it is difficult to keep up with closures these days! Many tips and recommendations in Host notebook were still helpful and relevant. Did not affect our visit, but knob missing fromBathroom cabinet. It is a very cute and functional 1920s(?) home with nice touches - built in shelves, etc. Good natural light, outdoor space and good viewing for people watching especially on Saturday during the plaza farmer’s market. Quick, easy walk to the square and town, organic/bulk option grocery co-op, restaurants and nightlife - movies and live music. We enjoyed blues rock at The Basement for a 5 cover. Comfortable beds with two pillow options and soft sheets. A very enjoyable stay! .

Ideal Location

We stayed in this adorable cottage on a birthday visit to our son, who is a student at Cal Poly Humboldt. The house was perfectly situated to walk to campus, cafes and restaurants, grocery stores, and the Arcata Marsh and Wildlife Sanctuary. The house is so pretty and nicely equipped with kitchen equipment/supplies, toiletries in the bathroom, etc. Our lovely visit was enhanced by having such a comfortable home base.

great spot

Had a very cozy time. Great spot! I wish there had been things to hold on to in the shower as I am older and also walking in and out of the house but all in all the place was really nice and clean. I will stay here again when I come back to visit my family.

I had a comfortable stay in La Casita. It was a close distance to downtown and conveniently located across the street from a sandwich shop. The home had a lot of charm and beds were super comfortable. I’d stay here again!
