Casa De La Luz - 2 Bedroom Charming Santa Fe style home - 1.8 Mile Walk to Plaza

This is a very well appointed, artistically and comfortably decorated home. Obviously a source of pride for the owners. Clean and ready to settle in. From the cozy in-floor heating and the nice backyard and grill to the quiet neighborhood we were happy to call this home for more than six months while I was in town for work. The owners are super welcoming, available for questions and help. I wouldn't think twice about a return visit and recommend 117 Bob street to all.

We’re very grateful to Darlene and Kurt for letting us stay here with our pets and young son while we waited in escrow for our home purchase to close. We were very pleased to have an actual kitchen stocked with just about every amenity one could think of. They were gracious hosts and checked on us often via text and phone calls. The only thing we didn’t care for, the bed in the master bedroom. It was uncomfortable and small. (My husband is of Danish/German descent & is tall and broad). I would most definitely recommend any family or friends who might be coming to visit us in our new home to try and rent this house if they’re going to be there for at least 30 days. It’s a quiet neighborhood & centrally located, which is very nice. There are people who do drive really fast down this dead end street, so do be cautious when pulling out to leave. Otherwise, great house, great owners and we really appreciated staying here & all that was done for us.

Darlene and Kurt are lovely BEings. Responsive to us as we negotiated the terrain of buying a home in Santa Fe. They immediately came to repair the kitchen faucet. AND they even gave us bird seed when they became aware of our interest in birds. AND Kurt shared some of his vast knowledge of local birds.The house is comfortable. EVERY implement one can imagine is available in the kitchen for cooking daily as we did. The house is spacious with lovely light streaming in from the windows and glass front door. Walking up Bob Street reveals a few old original adobe homes and walking a very short block in the opposite direction one arrives at the river trail which is extensive in either direction. My husband and I, our dog Shasta too, highly recommend Casa De La Luz for a month or longer stay in Santa Fe!!

We thoroughly enjoyed the three months that we stayed here this summer, so much so that we’ve already reserved time next summer. The owners, Darlene and Kurt, are friendly (but not intrusive). The house is tastefully decorated and comfortable. The combined kitchen-dining-living room is light and airy, with its high ceiling, large windows, and skylights. We prepared many meals in the well-equipped kitchen. The queen bed in the bedroom is very comfortable. We (and our dog) found the very private back yard to be wonderful, with its trees, grassy area, hummingbirds, gas grill, and patio, where we frequently ate our meals. Bicentennial Park is a block away. We walked our dog there every day. The three-mile-long River Trail, which runs through the park, is nice for a longer walk, and we used it to bicycle toward the plaza area in one direction and to Frenchy’s field in the other direction.

All I can say is the place is great! We spent three months there and it truly felt like home. It is in a great location. There is a park with tennis courts across the street. We bought bikes and it is a super mellow 10 min ride to the plaza along the river path. The house is open with tons of natural light. The kitchen is great for whipping up meals and has every cooking utensil you could ever need. But I think what we enjoyed most was sitting in the backyard barbecuing and relaxing.

The owners, Kurt and Darlene, are super people and huge animal lovers. They made sure we were comfortable and able to contact them at anytime if we needed anything. Thanks for letting us stay in your home.
