We just returned from 26 nights at Casa Buenavista - a reprieve from the Michigan winter and a perfect place to work remotely and have groups of family and friends come visit for long weekends. The first impressions of the property were spectacular - from the lush landscaping around the courtyard fountain, to the charming guest room entrances, to the stunning ocean views revealed once the front door is open - you will be blown away! The layout easily accommodates up to 8 guests, with each bedroom having direct access to the pool area and an ocean view.
The neighborhood is in the "Palmilla bubble" - behind two attended gates, and within walking distance to the beach (5 minutes walk down, with option to go thru north or south gates, to two different beaches) and to the Palmilla Shoppes (20 minute walk up to California Ranch Market for fresh made baguettes, salads and gourmet groceries, with a dozen or so nearby boutiques and restaurants). The sun rises right in front of the house, and whales frolic all day. Linens are comfortable, and spa robes are a bonus. We made good use of the gym, and the laundry facilities are better than I have at home. The kitchen is well-stocked for cooking in, and the grill is immaculate. Marco, the concierge is extremely responsive and helpful in assisting with reservations, taxi coordination and handling any maintenance issues that arise.
Bottom line: do not hesitate to book this absolute gem. We are so grateful for the incredible memories we made at Casa Buenavista!
