About this property

Spacious Craftstman house in Downtown Davis, 1 mile to Campus

Casa Contente is a craftsman house centrally located in downtown Davis.

Dining table comfortably sits 8 and may squeeze in 10 people. Fully stocked kitchen is a cook's dream. Everything in the house is brand new.

Simply put, most spacious and best located house in Davis.

Early checkin/late checkout may be available for an additional $150. Please inquire.

Please note that since this property is a duplex there is not much of a backyard, so we wouldn't be able to accomodate any gatherings outside.

Please do NOT book unless you can adhere to these rules:

- Out of respect to our neighbors we do NOT allow any parties and any noise louder than a normal conversation or working TV. Any amplified sound is STRICTLY PROHIBITED. We have a small Bluetooth speaker available that you can connect to your phone.

- We have neighbors close to us on both sides. The light from the kitchen, dining and living rooms beams into our neighbor's bedroom, so we ask our guests to keep the blinds on the northern side of our house down at all times. We also ask you to turn off the lights when not in use.


We love all things organic, and are happy to stock the house with organic options for coffee, soap, shampoo and dish liquid with organic alternatives. Please let us know if that's something that makes a difference for you. If we are in town and are able to accommodate your request, we will be happy to do so.

We a short walk to downtown and only about 1.5 mile away from campus. Three blocks away from Davis Co-Op. Walking distance to farmer's market on Saturday morning. You can't find a better location.

This listing is for a 3 bdrm/3bath house that comfortably sleeps 12 and may sleep up to 14. There is another private and separate apartment on the lot that may sleep up to 4 people. Please check "Carriage House" listing for availability. So, potentially, up to 18 people total.

Beds configuration:

Master bdrm - queen + sitting sofa that also works as a foldout bed. May accommodate a child or a small adult. By request only, there is space for another Queen Aerobed, so potentially 5 people in the master bdrm.
2nd bdrm - queen
3rd bdrm - family trundle bunk bed. 2 twins + queen.

Semi-private living room: futon (sleeps 2 small or one big person) + Queen size Sleeper Sofa. Brand new with memory foam mattress, so comfort is not an issue.

Semi private office space between garage and laundry room: high quality Queen size air bed on a foundation. Very comfy. Available upon request only.

If need be, an additional Queen Aerobed could be placed in the living room next to the fireplace.


Our home caters to those who enjoy comfort and value quality experience.

Still, our base price is set intentionally low so that a small group can enjoy the comfort and the luxury of our home at an affordable rate. Please understand that there is an extra fee for each additional overnight guest.

We also understand that sometimes you may have day guests which we are happy to allow on a case by case basis. Please let us know in advance if you are planning on having any day guests.

We often stay at the apartment next door and we have an outside camera that may monitor the traffic to the house. Please help us avoid uncomfortable situations by registering every overnight guest in your party.

SoCal reviewer

All in all, it was a good stay. Plenty of beds for our family. Mostly well stocked kitchen and everything worked. The hot water in the guest bath did not get hot at all, however. The host was easy to get in touch with, which was awesome.

Bright, clean townhouse

This house is clean, well-maintained, modern, quiet, and spacious. We had no issues at all. When the property we had originally reserved experienced a problem before our arrival, the manager/owner stayed in communication with us and helped us get settled in this location easily. Would recommend without hesitation.

Wonderful in all respects

Our family of 6, ranging from 72 to age 5, stayed in this amazing house for two nights while attending a family wedding. We came from Portland, Spain and NH. The house is clean, well kept, spacious, has all the amenities you could possibly want and was conveniently located. This beautiful home is historic with updates. The owner was available to answer questions and helpful in trying to locate an item we thought we left there. We found it later. All of us can highly recommend this rental!

Great place to stay!!

This property was one of my favorite HomeAway stays yet! The home is a beautiful, recently remodeled, craftsman style home that is very well done. The proximity to downtown Davis is very convenient . In 5 minutes of walking we were surrounded by numerous restaurants (some really good ones, especially for us "foodies") and great shopping. This was not my first time to Davis but this home made it much more enjoyable than the previous time. All of what Davis has to offer is quick access from this location. Eli was great and friendly. He had just the right amount of availability for questions and certainly respected our privacy. That was much appreciated! I would highly recommend this property and would love to stay again if I am back in town!

Beautiful place to sleep.

I know that Eli the host will disagree but let me just highlight some facts: - The house is beautiful and has great curb appeal and a nicely renovated kitchen - This property is or was on the market for sale - the owner moved out. It was re-furnished specifically for short term rentals and so has the bare minimum mismatched furnishings only: very little in terms of any kind of decor and or furniture (dining room table and chairs and a couple couches and a coffee table. Bedrooms have beds, night stand and lamp). That is it. - That being said, the beds are comfortable - It DOES NOT, as advertised, accommodate 12 people, more like a big maximum of 8 stretching it: there are not enough kitchen supplies (plates, glasses, silverware, etc) for more, definitely no seating for more and realistically, only 7 can sleep in beds (2 queens, 1 full and 1 twin), otherwise, you are looking at living room futon/couch, blow-up mattress in the laundry room. - There is no TV and nothing in terms of any kind of electronics - Do not expect anything but a gourmet "looking" kitchen: the cupboards are empty except for basic, low end minimum pots and pans set. - If you are looking strictly for a place to sleep: it is quiet and comfortable with basic but adequate bedding. - The host Eli is as helpful and courteous as can be

Pros/cons

Pros: good size, little wasted space Little to no street noise Clean, well decorated Close to a grocery store Well stocked kitchen, pots/pans/dishes Great bathrooms with lots of big fluffy towels Cons: it’s not a whole house, no back yard A very very loud train runs near by every 2-3 hours (being woken up every few hours is a deal breaker for me) The second night, during a heatwave, we could not get the AC to function upstairs. Definitely a great find, would absolutely recommend, we found out after the fact there were clean new ear plugs in our night stand and that probably would have helped with the train constantly blowing it’s horn.

Spacious and lovely, and great walking to downtown Davis. Worked wonderfully for group of 10.

A group of 10 out of state relatives stayed in this home together for four days, and everyone enjoyed their time there. There were 3 couples, 2 single adults and two children staying in the home and everyone had a place to sleep. I went over the rules of the house with all of them, and they all seemed to be able to comply without any problems. Some of these midwesterners were not accustomed to taking off their shoes in the house, and they did not mind in this home as it is so clean and lovely. Easy access to downtown for walking to coffee and the Farmers Market. My nephew told me that the location and open space in the house made it a great place to stay for a large group. I agree with another reviewer that the price of the house goes up quickly as you add people who stay there. That said, my group far preferred staying at the house rather than a hotel, as there is a big, well suppled kitchen and lots of rooms to converse and read. In al it was cheaper than getting hotel rooms for all of these guests and far more comfortable. I recommend this home to any group that would like to have an authentic Davis experience, and a lovely, homey place to relax.

Nice home. Great location.

Very nice home. Great location as you can walk to town in minutes. Cute town with many good restaurants. Only negatives are that there are private rooms for only three couples, but that is spelled out in the detail provided in the description, and on our first night, which was a Thursday, trains came through town with horns blowing multiple times waking us up. Would stay there again. Very responsive hosts! Much appreciated!
