This is one of the coziest and nicest homes I’ve ever rented. The location on the schuylkill river is amazing! We saw people crewing and boating all weekend. The yard is big and well appointed with chairs and a fire pit and covered porch. The kitchen was great too and perfect for our needs. The whole house was fantastic. I can’t recommend it enough!
We stayed at Casita Azul over Thanksgiving. It is a wonderful little house. The location is wonderful. Close to the city but quiet. The river was so peaceful. The house has the best appointed kitchen of any I have rented in the past. Many little thoughtful things left for us. Things like usb outlets for charging in the bedroom,soaps in the bathrooms and kitchen, a sponge by the kitchen sink. Those little extras mean a lot.We had an awesome time and would highly recommend Casita Azul.
