Casa De Norte: Your Hillside Oasis with Saltwater Pool & Spa
Casa De Norte is the perfect way to enjoy the indoor/outdoor lifestyle California is famous for!
-Poolside pergola offers a relaxing spot to enjoy the shaded outdoors & is accessible via sunroom, master bedroom & bunk bedroom.
-If you’d rather soak up some sun there’s 2 loungers ready for relaxing along with a dining table & umbrella for an al fresco lunch.
-Grab a book from the game room bookshelves & head out to the Queen bedroom hammock (one of our favorite spots) to enjoy a nap surrounded by the hillside & bird song.
-Binge your favorite shows from the sunroom sofa while easily keeping an eye & ear on those in the pool through many patio doors/windows. The Roku streaming devices make it easy to sign into your streaming accounts or home cable network.
*Pool towels are provided & the pergola coffee table holds a revolving selection of children's toys, arm floats, etc.
----NOTE----
*Door alarms are installed on bunk bedroom & sunroom patio doors to help prevent littles from accessing pool area without supervision (these can be switch off if u prefer). The bunk room patio door also has a childproof deadbolt system & the front door has a sliding child safety lock.
*Beach sand has a habit of clogging the pool filter so we kindly ask you make sure to rinse any toys out after the beach :)

About the host
Hosted by Jessica
We remodeling what is now 'Casa De Norte' over the years as time & money allowed. When done it had become a special hideaway among our busy area of the world. Upon starting a new project we felt others might enjoy using CDN as home base & our rental journey began!
When we're not remodeling the house next door we're usually on another job site... Justin owns a termite company & Jessica works as a decorative finish painter.

Why they chose this property
Soaking in the salt-water spa while enjoying the stunning displays of color & beauty the sunsets bring to the hillside. One of my personal favorites is taking a nap in the hammock off the backside of the house surrounded by the hillside, birds, and butterflies - it feels so secluded it's hard to believe you're in a major metropolitan area.
What makes this property unique
-Salt-water pool and spa leave your skin baby soft while preventing the common swimsuit bleaching & eye sting that comes with other pools. burning eyes & bleached swimsuits.
-Sunset views across the hillside (especially in the fall and spring).
-Hillside location allowing for completely private hammock naps surrounding by singing birds and beauty.
-Sunroom's multiple patio doors, windows, and attached pergola. Making it convenient for watching littles in the pool without baking in the sun.
