About this property

Escape Under the Palms at Casita Las Palmas Studio Retreat

Discover your perfect getaway in this charming studio, nestled in the tranquil community of Bonita, just minutes south of vibrant downtown San Diego and conveniently located near the freeway for easy and quick access to all areas of the county.
Designed for comfort and relaxation, this cozy studio features a plush king bed, a fully equipped kitchen for your culinary needs, and a bathroom with shower. Step outside to a sparkling swimming pool, picnic tables, and a beautifully landscaped outdoor haven on our safely gated 2½-acre property. On a warm day, refresh yourself in the Oasis, a shaded seating area beneath stately palm trees, refreshed by cooling ocean breezes on warm days. As evening falls, gather around the intimate fire pit to enjoy the starry nights.

The property is alive with the songs of many birds, adding to the serene ambiance, and three friendly dogs who call this retreat home. Kizzy, our resident greeter, is eager to be your loyal companion during your stay. The studio is located next to our family home, and we, the owners, are delighted to welcome you personally and love seeing our guests enjoy the property’s amenities. While the studio offers a private and comfortable space, please note that it is not a secluded retreat. We often spend time in the shared garden and pool areas, and if you prefer a completely isolated stay without seeing us around the property, this studio may not be the best fit for you. However, if you’re looking for a warm, welcoming environment with a touch of furry hospitality, this is the perfect blend of comfort, nature, and community. Book now for an unforgettable retreat!
If you have any questions, please send an “inquiry” through the VRBO application. We would be glad to hear from you and usually respond the same day.

We would give this 10 stars, if possible. Very comfortable, both the casita and the grounds. Loved Jenny, our host, she is the best! It was fun having the chickens there, fresh eggs every morning, and roaming the property. Best of all, the dogs, especially Kizzy, who adopted us, stood watch outside our room whenever we were there, and followed us everywhere. We really felt like we had our own dog for a week! Can't wait to return, we miss it and Kizzy already!The property is only a mile from the village of Bonita, which has a great supermarket (Vons) and lots of restaurants. A great exercise path circles the municipal golf course there. When we return to the SD area, we will definitely stay at this property. It is close to everything in the San Diego area.

Exceptional environment and hospitality services

A hidden gem of tranquility in an urban setting. Jenny and her entire family were very accommodating and welcoming, not to mention generous with access to additional amenities. Worth every penny and perfectly located to my family’s location. Would recommend for a couple or family of 3 comfortably with air mattress they would provide. I will book again if available on my next visit. Thank you to the Sanchez family for an exceptional experience.

1st Vrbo experience

Property was exactly as stated, more so in my opinion. The grounds are nicely manicured, pool and jacuzzi clean and just a few feet away from the casita. Jennifer was super welcoming and available when needed. The casita itself was as described, perfect for my daughter and I. In and out privileges with gate code. Easy access to highway and shopping. Felt safe and secure. Peaceful and serene. Would definitely stay again!

Oasis Awaysis...

The hosts were all very kind and welcoming. Great property that is like a small oasis, just a hop, skip and jump from all that San Diego has to offer. While the hosts were great, we absolutely LOVED spending time with Ms. Tara, Maxi and Kizzy, the dogs. Anytime we were in the Casita, Kizzy was stationed right outside the door. We already miss the pups.

The casita was perfect for our stay. Nice pool, lovely grounds, fresh eggs and lemons and limes. A fresh lime off the tree for my Modelo was wonderful. Both human and canine hosts were lovely. Bonita is also a nice area with a canyon chic vibe

Bonita Casita

Let's start with the accessibility the property provides to all the great locations in the Surrounding San Diego area. Being so close to Highway 54 is excellent. Two turns and really close to the onramp is super convenient. The airport is 15 - 20 minutes from the Casita. The next topic of note is the property. With over 2 and a half acres of mini farm it is an oasis in a busy San Diego area. The destination is full of beautiful trees, plants and flowers that make you feel far away but in reality really close to all that southern California has to offer. Inside the Casita was neat, clean, and tidy. The bed is comfortable and cozy. Having the galley kitchen provided a great place to cook a small meal. Ocean breeze flows through the property and feels great. The wifi has excellent bandwidth if you need it. However, the outdoor space, pool, jacuzzi and fore pit will make you forget the internet even exists. Last but never least, the hosts are amazing. Roberto and Jenny made us feel welcome. They never imposed and were very attentive to anything we needed.
