The Casitas of Arroyo Grande

Amazing, beautiful, tranquil, a lil’ piece of heaven! Spent a weekend with my sister here and had a memorable stay. Love the detail in the casitas, comfortable bed, and the breakfast was delicious. The luscious grounds are blooming with flowers and the view is breathtaking. Our weekend was rainy, but we didn’t care… some wine and a blazing fire made it lovely. Attention to detail is impeccable.

We absolutely love The Casitas Estate and had the best experience getting married here! From the moment we drove onto the property, we knew this was it, and we are so happy with our decision. Not only is the property stunningly gorgeous (Spanish/​Hacienda style architecture and detailing with amazing patios and fountains, immaculate landscaping, flowers everywhere, a vineyard off the back, views of Arroyo Grande countryside, etc.), the owners Pat and Tony are just wonderful to work with! They are very responsive and organized and willing to help answer any questions that come up in the planning process. They also provide very helpful recommendations for other vendors (catering, wedding planners, flowers, DJ’s, etc). Pat and Tony are such nice people — you will probably become friends with them if you have a wedding at Casitas! Also, being able to stay at the venue for the weekend of our wedding really helped us relax. The rooms are very spacious, clean and cozy. We can’t wait to come back and stay again! Can’t say enough good things about this place and its owners. Our wedding day was perfect in every way and we would highly recommend The Casitas Estate to anyone!

My husband and I got married at the Casitas Estate in September this year. The venue is the most beautiful venue that we looked at in Central Coast from San Luis Obispo Santa Margarita and even Nipomo! We live in San Diego so decided to come up early for our wedding weekend to Arroyo grande and Pat and Tony were kind enough to let us store all of our wedding Décor there at the house and wine and beer until the day of the wedding! We checked into the Casitas on Friday and departed on Sunday morning. Pat and Tony Cooked these delicious soufflés on the day of our wedding and then had a continental breakfast for us on Sunday before we left. We were so pleased with the location of our ceremony with the Vineyard background and our reception at the infinity lawn. The string lights were an especially pretty touch that Pat and Tony had installed the day of the wedding. All of our guests are still complementing us on the choice of our location for our wedding. The Casitas themselves are so cute and they make you feel like you’re staying in your own little house. We really enjoyed everything about the Casitas and Pat and Tony and helping make our wedding weekend so amazing

When I came to Casitas for the first time I knew it was where I had to have my wedding. This place has the best energy and beautiful views! A side from renting the venue for the wedding, we stayed on the property for the wedding weekend. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, the suit by the pool was such a great spot for the bridal party to get ready in.
Also, Pat and Tony had breakfast ready for us each morning, it was delicious!!! (Loved the soufflé) they are great hosts and very helpful, they truly care about what they do and what to make sure that everyone is having a comfortable stay.
I highly recommend any one considering the casitas for their venue or for a weekend getaway, it is such a perfect place!
My husband and I hope to go back for our anniversary next year!

We had the pleasure of spending a couple of nights here. Even though we only live about 13 miles away it was a world apart. Above the village of Arroyo Grande in the hills near Edna Valley wine country. But you wouldn’t know any of that exists here. All you see are the hills and all you hear are the birds. We didn’t even leave the first day and opt’d for pizza and salad to be delivered to our room where we sat at our table by the window and enjoyed. The next day after a gourmet breakfast was delivered to our room we took a short drive around the valley but our room lured us back. It is so peaceful here. We stayed in what used to be the pool house and our private patio was just steps from the pool. Plus we were a distance from the other units and the main house. We did have to go up and down quite a few steps to reach our room but was well worth it. This place is beautiful and the owners Pat and Tony went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. Plus a gourmet breakfast delivered to your room at the time you request is the icing on the cake.

This review is a long time coming… I have had the great fortune to stay at the Casitas not once but on 3 different occasions. I went with my husband and another couple (Dec 2014), then again with just my husband (April 2015) and yet just recently, with a group of ladies (July 2015) for a bridal shower weekend.
This place is amazing… Its so lovely and relaxing yet very close to SLO or Pismo and also lot of the wineries (if that’s your thing).
You can just relax and gaze out at the landscape, go swimming or go sight seeing and still be able to come «home» to the tranquility. There are only 4 casitas on the property so you are insured a peaceful atmosphere. I can’t say enough about this place… except possibly that Pat & Tony and ofcourse Kona (the caretakers) are the nicest people you can encounter. They are warm and very helpful but also they make you feel like you have the whole place to yourself.
Needless to say it is and can be very romantic, but it also can be a great place to go with a group of friends and just enjoy the area. One of the things that is the most enjoyable, yet so simple-​is the morning coffee. They ask you what time you would like your coffee (or tea) and then they bring it to your little private terrace and leave it without so much a knock the door, so not to disturb you… so when you wake up there is your coffee and the beautiful morning air to greet you.
I love this place so much and everyone that I have brought here has also loved it just as much! That really is a testament to the Casitas (and ofcourse Pat, Tony & Kona). There is nothing I would change about this place! I really can go on and on about this but i will end it with one last thing. I have to mention Rochelle. She is such a lovely women (she is one of the ladies that prepares the 4-​course dinner, an additional option-​if you choose). She is amazing and her cooking is wonderful!!! So, if you have the opportunity – DO IT and BOOK her!!!
Thank you Pat, Tony, Rochelle & Kona! I will diffinitly see you sooner than later!

The Casitas resort is a real hidden treasure. As there are only four casitas it feels very private– a world away.
Pat and Tony are welcoming and responsive without being intrusive and spending time on the property feels like you are spending time on your own lush hedonistic estate. We highly recommend it. We loved the experience.

A stay at the Casitas has always been on my list and finally to celebrate our 41^st anniversary, we decided it was time… We stayed for 1 night on our way to go visit our kids and grandbabies in Flagstaff, AZ. Although the latter is always fun, I wish we could have stayed longer at the Casitas. It is such a peaceful place. Pat and Tony are the perfect hosts and their welcome and constant followup has been amazing. Tony made us a wonderful breakfast on the patio with gorgeous views. Arroyo Grande is my future hometown so I personally may not need to stay here again but will definitely recommend it to family and friends coming to visit the area and in fact I already have:)

Everything everyone already has said. Thanks for your hospitality and beautiful wine country escape.
My name is Mike and Lucy from Pasadena and we stayed over 4^th of July 2015 to celebrate our 40^th wedding anniversary. Was a little bit of Euro Zone in California! Thanks Pat and Tony.

We attended the Arroyo Grande Strawberry Festival this year, which was a last minute trip decision. I looked online to book a reservation, and nothing was available. As I checked one last time, «The Casitas» popped up. At first I was hesitant staying at a B&B which we’ve never done before, but after reviewing the pictures on their website, I realized this isn’t your average B&B. We stayed at the «Cielo» casita which is a bit down the hill, bigger and more private. I must say that this was an amazing stay! I made reservations personally with the owner Tony, who then called me back to see if we would like to come by before the festival to see where our casita was located. This was truly a good idea, since we planned on arriving late. He was also kind enough to email us a map, so that we wouldn’t get caught up with all road closing going on in town (extremely thoughtful). This was by far the most quiet and peaceful stay we have ever had; mind you we also included our 16 & 10 year old sons. The peace and serenity that you’ll experience, even if it’s just an overnight stay, is so worth the drive. We also met Pat the owner and both Pat and Tony are very welcoming, the breakfast amazing! We truly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this location. We plan on revisiting them back soon :)

This was our 1^st time staying at the Cassitas. Tony and Patty were very gracious hosts and made special accommodations for my dietary restrictions for breakfast. They supplied us with good recommendations for things to do and places to dine. The grounds are lovely and the cassita (we stayed in the Mariposa) was very clean and cozy. We will definitely return when in the area.

Wow! What an amazing estate! It was so peaceful and beautiful!!! Omg the breakfasts were wonderful! We couldn’t of asked for a more perfect visit! Thank you Tony, Pat & Kona! Hope to make it back here someday!

This was our 4^th visit to Casitas Arroyo Grande, and we certainly plan on coming back! The Casitas grounds are beautiful with amazing views. The guest houses are cozy, private, and very nicely decorated. The breakfast is amazing, and we love the fact that it gets delivered to your room. This is must-​stay if you are visiting in the area. Thank Pat and Tony for being delightful hosts!

We absolutely loved the Casitas Estate! Here’s my quick highlights:
1. Individual casitas make you feel special. Only four rooms on the estate, each one a detached building (casita, which I think means small house). The Cielo is isolated and overlooks the pool. We liked ours better, the Mariposa, which is one of three casitas laid out around a densely planted garden with water fountain.
2. You’ll want to spend every moment on your private patio. Each room opens out to its own patio, with sweeping views of the valley below. We brought back wine, cheese and crackers for our own happy hour on the patio. We also took both breakfasts there, and played a few hands of cards as well. SO relaxing.
3. The owners are warm and helpful. Pat and Tony were perfect hosts, took pride as innkeepers, made us feel very welcomed.
4. Delicious breakfast included in room. One breakfast was crepes Suzette, the other was a sausage and potato egg casserole.
Enjoy your stay at the Casitas!

Perfect place for relaxing and being with someone you love!
Thank you tony for your nice hospitality, sorry didn’t get to meet Pat.

The Casitas are not to be missed! We stayed for one night on our way from San Diego to Marin and loved it. Our casita, the Mariposa, had an incredible view, lovely patio, fireplace, cozy bed and was beautifully furnished. Tony arranged for a private chef for us for dinner on the evening of our arrival and he and Pat delivered a delicious homemade breakfast the next morning. Kona, their beautiful dog, is a little lover. We loved our stay so much that we stayed again the following week on our way back to San Diego. Tony and Pat are fabulous people and know what they are doing. We will definitely return to this hidden gem.

My wife and I just got married at The Casitas this last weekend and we could not have picked a better place. Throughout the reception my wife and I were constantly fielding questions about how we found such an amazing venue. Pat and Tony, the owners, were incredible! Right from the first moment we set foot on the property they made themselves open and available to any questions and suggestions we may have. Even on the wedding day, they were very involved to make sure, not only the wedding party, but also the guests were taken care of.
About the property — It sits atop a hillside which provided a gorgeous, Tuscan, panoramic view for our guests. The Casitas includes four upgraded, Spanish style «casitas» (one suite) and three separate levels in the backyard. The back of the main house is where we held our reception which comfortably fit 135 guests with farm tables. Below, there is a grass walkway which we used for the ceremony and below that tier, a pool where we held our cocktail hour.
Overall, The Casitas is an unbelievable venue that we were blessed to find. Luckily our detailed search and experience can be passed onto the next couple.

Five stars. Lovely place. Breakfasts were super. Views of the surrounding valley and farms were outstanding. Room was comfy and very private. Hosts were the icing on the cake. Kona, their dog… the cherry on top!!!
One note to keep in mind: if you seek an experience of total secluded silence with no sounds of the «outside world», you may be a little disappointed. The property is just up the hill from a road, so that if one sits by the pool, you can hear the cars whoosh by. There are not many cars, maybe one a minute, but you can hear them. NOT in your casitas, only outside near the pool. And after a couple of minutes, you don’t even notice them anymore. Indeed, many people wouldn’t notice this anyway. I’m just personally sensitive to sound.
Lovely place. We’ve already discussed returning with our families.

The Casitas is a true gem of the central coast. I work for a wedding and party company and we are proud to work with them. They have very reasonable pricing for the incredible views you get. Pat and Tony are always a joy to work with. They are just outside Arroyo Grande’s downtown, so it is very private. If you are looking for breathtaking views, this is the place to go. The property overlooks the Arroyo Grande hills and is not far from Lopez Lake. The rooms are beautiful! Do yourself a favor and book this amazing venue for your wedding or just a weekend getaway. You will love it!

Everything that I value in a hotel/​b and b can be found here– gracious hosts, super clean, amazing views, comfy beds, great décor, awesome dog. I loved the Spanish influence of the Casitas– open courtyard with beautiful flowers, great tile work. There is a lap pool and baci court with an amazing view. Tony made us delicious frittatas for breakfast. I loved their super soft sheets so much that I bought a set. They sell their linens at a price. One of the best B and B experiences. Highly recommend.
