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.

The host was very friendly and welcoming as were her three dogs. If you're allergic, you may wish to mention this to her or just be mindful there are dogs here but they were very sweet pups.We got a tour of the property and she left fresh limes from her orchard and eggs from her chickens. The casita and location were perfect for our needs - we were visiting my Mom who lives in the area. The bed was comfortable and I was able to make my coffee. ;) The space felt like a very large studio apartment with all the bare essentials (and then some).

Jennifer was an AWESOME host! She was very helpful with recommendations around the area and made a point to be very hospitable! The casita was amazing and very well suited for what we were looking for! Very clean, very well maintained and loved the fact that it was an open space and gated! We would stay here again and again!

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.

Location, location, location! We couldn't have asked for a better stay. From the warm welcome by the entire family (including the adorable dogs) to the farm-fresh eggs and lemons, Jenny is an incredible host. The refreshing pool and comfortable AC were perfect. We loved her local recommendations so much we ended up visiting almost all of them!

Our stay in Bonita was truly delightful. The casita was clean and well equipped with plush linens and towels, including all amenities mentioned in the description. What wasnt mentioned were the exceptional touches like plants and handpicked flowers. Fruits from their garden and fresh eggs straight from the the henhouse where also in the fridge for our arrival! We were so pleased to be in a safe and gated home inside 2 acres of serenity with mature landscaping, a lovely pool and the sweetest dogs to welcome us.

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!
