The space
The space is open with a big breakfast bar, perfect for soaking up your morning coffee or watching the sunset over dinner. 360 degree views highlight the desert mountains in all directions. Take in the sunrise from the front and watch the stars from the bedroom or backyard nook. Desert wildlife can be seen from every window in the house - jackrabbits, roadrunners, chipmunks, lizards, and plenty of birds are living their best life at Casa Flamingo.

Guest access
While you're staying at Casa Flamingo, the entire home will be your private oasis. Soak in the 5 acres of local flora, fauna, and incredible views!
Beds & Bath
There is one bedroom with magical views and Casper bedding, as well as a full size pullout bed with memory foam mattress in the living area. The space works well for a couple, small family, or close group of 4. Each room has it's own A/C & heater for your comfort.
The full bathroom includes a tub + shower and all of the necessities (i.e. shampoo, conditioner, body wash, Q-Tips, cotton swabs, and blow dryer). Note: the bathroom is quite small, and may be tight if you are staying with 4 guests.
Kitchen
The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you'll need to cook or bake, as well as olive oil, coconut oil, salt, pepper, and basic spices. We keep a water filter and ice cubes filled for your convenience. Coffee and tea are always provided.
Driving & Parking
The property is located about 4 minutes up a dirt road and is easily accessible by compact car. There is ample parking on the property and 3 dirt "spaces" just off of the driveway.
Other things to note
Other things to note:
- As with most houses in the area, Casa Flamingo has a septic system (not city sewage). Please do not flush any items other than the toilet paper provided. We do have municipal water and electricity (some homes in the area are entirely off-grid).
- The desert is home to many critters. While we use an eco exterminator, it is not uncommon that you’d see insects or animals. Please keep the doors closed and use windows for ventilation.
- While we allow small pets, the area is full of coyotes and you will need to keep a close watch on your furry friends.
