Beautifully appointed, wonderful light, plenty of room we loved it!!
We loved our stay here. So much room, very well equipped! Loved the natural light. Had so much fun hanging out here. It was a perfect location - walkable to the center of town but just outside enough to be quiet and fun to walk around the neighborhood. It’s A!!

This place was amazing - spacious, fun to hang out and cook together, central enough to walk to many spots. We had a little issue with the coffee pot and they had a new one out to us within 2 hours. One of the better vrbo's I've been to!

Our family vacation to Santa Fe was superb thanks to our stay in "La Joya" - it is within walking distance to everything downtown, shops, restaurants. The house is well equipped, sun speckled, and beautiful - we were able to cook in. The bedrooms are comfortable and well appointed. The property is 2 houses joined as one - the adjoining

Thank you for your review! We're glad to hear that you and your family had such a positive experience and delightful stay with us - from its convenient location, well-appointed sun-filled spaces, and comfortable bedrooms. We look forward to hosting you again for another enjoyable visit!
We traveled with our children and grandchildren. The house was beautiful and a perfect fit for our family. Since the property was fenced/gated, we could let the grandchildren explore and play outside without fear of them wandering off. We all had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend this property.

Thank you for your review. We're so glad that you and your family had a wonderful time to bond and relax during your stay! I'm sure the kids loved their time playing outside and hope you all had lots of memories to treasure from this trip. We'd love to host you again - come back anytime!
The La Joya house was perfect for our 3 families. The casita provided a spacious, quiet place for a family of four, the huge primary bedroom was perfect for a family of 3 with a two year old, and the smaller bedroom/bath was just right for the grandparents. The amenities were amazing and the kitchen was well stocked. Thank you so much.

La Joya was has been one of my most favorite bookings. The house was perfect for our party of 9. We cooked breakfast and dinner everyday and had every kitchen gadget needed and then some! It was nestled in a great location close to the plaza and Round House. We walked there several times during our visit. The home was comfortable and cozy with a touch of southwest elegance. We will definitely stay here again if available next year!

Wonderful home. Loved it. Great for our Gal Pal retreat. We stayed in February so we expected snow. We had 2 vehicles and it would have been great if the drive way had cleared.

Julie, we're so happy to hear that you had a wonderful stay, and that the home was great for your retreat! This property certainly makes for a cozy stay during the winter months. We encourage our guests to let us know if there are any hazardous conditions we can assist with, and we would have been happy to have the driveway plowed if you had requested it.
A trip delayed from 2020 for our book club. Gald we had to wait, as houses do not get any better. The house is just as the photos show, only BETTER. The location was perfect, an easy 5-10 min walk to the plaza. The house was so quite, nestled down a dusty gravel road, then a show gravel driveway to the gate to the compound. Very secure. Kitchen to die for, even though we did not cook. Overall Excellent choice. Kitchen stocked with spices, coffee, teas, etc. Recommend good shoes for walking all of the walking surfaces found in Santa Fe.....

Thanks for this great review! We are so glad the house was worth the wait, and that you enjoyed your stay. Sounds like you loved the house as much as we do! We'd love to have you back next time you're in Santa Fe!
Everything about this home is just so perfect, I don’t know where to start. I can see why it’s named “La Joya” - the jewel.
I’ll start with location... as it’s located in the most historic part of Santa Fe - exactly where we wanted to be - so we could walk to the Plaza as well as Canyon road, so easily. Being close enough to hear the cathedral bells was lovely. We enjoyed our very short morning walk to the coffee shop in the same district, with their lovely patio area too. Such a nice start to each day. Even though this home is located in the sweet spot of town, it’s tucked away at the end of a little private drive so it felt very secluded and private- and with a security gate and garage - we were perfectly set.
The entire house was impeccably clean and all the beds were so comfortable and made up with high quality sheets. I point this out as it’s always something quite important to me when I’m renting. (And I’m a bedding snob! :)
The house itself is beautiful and spacious, yet warm and cozy. Charming Kivas, beautiful original artworks, stylish decor all pulled together so tastefully for that Santa Fe charm we were after! Kitchen is so well stocked - which was great for us as we love to cook!
A sweet back yard with two separate outdoor kiva fire places and landscaped grounds - very enchanting!
Big smart TVs, comfortable furniture - I could go on. We will definitely be back and are already planning and looking forward to our next trip to La Joya!
Oh and the folks at Two Casitas - who host this property - were absolutely fabulous to work with. So helpful and it gave us a real peace of mind to work with them to arrange this stay. Very quick to respond and help us in any way. Thank you all again for everything. 5 Star home and experience all the way!
