Tamara, our no shoes policy is clearly stated under our house rules found on VRBO. I’m so sorry that you didn’t read that before you arrived. We feel this helps maintain a hygienic, comfortable, and well-kept space for all guests.

`Kiersten: Thanks for taking the time to write! It was a pleasure hosting you and your family. I hope you can visit again soon. Mimi

Hummm. "Good location"? Most guests, and MANY return year after year, when describing the location of Caza de Coco use adjectives like "stellar, amazing, fantastic, sooo convenient, perfect, GREAT!!! I am at a loss for words here. I think sometimes, no matter how hard you try, you just can't please everyone all of the time.

Cassie: Oh my... I don't know where to begin. In regards to the toilet paper, as I mentioned to your husband when I brought you the extra roles, there are normally 3 extra rolls in the bathroom. That was simply a housekeeping oversight and I responded as soon as I was told of it! I wouldn't expect the four of you to survive for 3 days on one roll! I try so hard to go overboard and beyond the expected and predict what one might need to make a vacation seamless i.e. new slipper socks for cold feet, first aid kit, sewing kit, iron and board, baby or dog gate,dog sheets & towels, clothes steamer, blow dryer, shampoo/conditioner/soap, toothbrushes/paste,make-up removers, laundry detergent & spot removers,dog wipes, beach tar remover, aspirin, foot powder, rubbing alcohol, beach towels, extra blankets & pillows, water purifier, mixer, blender, assorted pots and pans, ice bucket, dishes/silverware,lemon squeezer, ice cream scooper, pot holders, cookie sheets/muffin pans etc, serving platters, bbq utensils, paper plates/plastic utin/napkins (even toothpicks), saran wrap/aluminum foil/baggies, flower vases, games and cards, scissors, scotch tape, rubber bands, lint remover, calculator, magnification mirror in bath and hand magnifier in kitchen, Santa Barbara City map, note pad and pen, candy, breath mints, local tourist guides and I even drive over and hand deliver the weekly magazine "Independent" that comes out on Thursdays! These items are additional items, most of which are not even mentioned in vrbo. In the "house instructions" in the drawer under the TV, I mention that if food products are used they should be replenished by the guest that uses them. I don't monitor or supply them. Over time the basics end up there such as salt, pepper, sugar, syrup, mustard, mayonnaise, oil, coffee, tea, jam, etc -most guests don't cook or even make coffee due to the proximity of all the coffee houses and restaurants. The non-perishable food products are just passed on to the next guest. Well, I guess a prior guest used all the coffee and didn't replace it, I'm sorry about that. I am not sure what you meant by "etc" in your post???? I really don't know what else one might be expecting when they stay at a vacation rental. It is not a bed and breakfast and I can't cook anyway--you really don't want me bringing food! The toilet paper was an oversight which I remedied as soon as I was told about it, I apologize again for the oversite, housekeeping has been notified.

Carolyn: Thank you for your review. I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay and took your late train (who knew, I thought trains always arrived on time) arrival in stride. I do hope you return and can visit longer, there is plenty more to see here. Take care.

Kaethin: Thank you for your visit and kind words. Phoebe is a doll, I will save her squeaky toy for her return visit. You both are welcome back anytime!

Chris: Thanks so much for choosing Casa de Coco and taking the time to write this review. You are always welcome here. Mimi

Cheryl: Many thanks to you for taking the time to write. Bless you for including your l4 year old best friend in your vacation. He is an angel and it was a delight to host your stay. I hope to see all of you next year, I'll order great weather again. In the meantime, stay warm and dry. Mimi

Beth, thank you for the kind words!!! You are my favorite Texan and I hope you and all of your friends move to Santa Barbara!!

Well, thank you, thank you! I sure hope you both, plus that little cutie you brought with you, return soon! I'll be here waiting, couldn't have more perfect guests!

Darryl: I loved having all five of you!! How cute would it be to have Camp Frenchie or French Camp take place there next year! You can, of course come back before then, but I can just see oodles of French Bull Dogs everywhere! You both were a delight, thank you so much for choosisng Caza de Coco for your stay.

Gordon and Victoria: Thank you for such nice comments. You also were the perfect guests with the perfect dog (I know Minnie is not really a dog, but she looks like one, which is a compliment)! Not many people are so kind as to spend their vacation repairing a "hard water impaired shower head"! Next time you visit, maybe you can stay in Bungalulu with the "mysterious intermittent running toilet"? Ha! Please come back, you and Miz Minnie are so welcome anytime.

Katharine: Such a nice review! I thank you for that and for your stay as well! You all are welcome back anytime, and of course, bring BOTH babies! As you could probably tell, I have a special soft spot for the four legged wet nosed ones! I must say, your little niece was very dainty, pretty and sweet, I don't think she will remember much from this trip, but perhaps you can bring her back in a few years. There is much to see and do here for toddlers. Thanks so much for writing. Mimi

Jamie: So nice of you to write! Thank you for all of your kind words. You are certainly welcome back anytime and I do hope your family comes with! Stay cool this summer and hope to see you soon. Mimi

Victoria: Always great to have you. I hope to see you again soon. Mimi

Robin- It was a pleasure hosting/meeting all of you, so glad your visit was a good one! Thanks for your kind review, we appreciate it. Also thanks for adopting a rescue although most times, as rescuers know, they rescue you and not the other way around! Take care and we hope you can visit again soon.

Thanks for the review and for staying. Hope you will return sometime soon. Mimi
