About this property

Casa Viva | Pet Friendly, Near Historic Plaza

"The best of both worlds"…that's what you get when you stay at Casa Viva! On the one hand, you get incredible views of the massive mountain scape that defines the Southwest. On the other, you're just minutes from experiencing the amazing architecture of Santa Fe Plaza and the original Spanish Market Square! Conveniently located near historic downtown Santa Fe, this two bedroom, two-and-a-half bath home also gives you easy access to the nearby pueblos, where you can immerse yourself in the rich Native American history and culture of one of the country's most unique areas.

Just minutes from downtown Santa Fe, Casa Viva sleeps five people comfortably and is built in the Pueblo Revival adobe style. A light, bright, open-concept living area features tiled floors, wood ceilings (complete with viga beams), comfortable furnishings, a corner kiva fireplace and large flat-screen cable TV and entertainment system. Plenty of windows and skylights let in natural light and offer inspiring views of the surrounding terrain. Gather at the large, farmhouse-style dining table to enjoy a family meal or game night. Close by the spacious kitchen features a kitchen island and eye-catching Talavera tiles, while the expansive wood cabinets are well stocked with all the cookware, dinnerware, and utensils you’ll need to prepare your favorite Mexican dishes (or heat up leftovers from one of the many culinary delights the area has to offer).

Casa Viva's main bedroom features a luxurious queen-size bed, outdoor access and en suite full bathroom. The second bedroom boasts a comfortable queen-size bed and ceiling fan. Just off the second bedroom, a sitting room with twin bed is perfect for your little one or any overnight guests. Two gorgeously tiled full bathrooms plus a half-bath mean no waiting in line to get ready in the morning, and a laundry closet with washer and dryer let you pack light. A private enclosed patio and private balcony offers a spacious retreat where you can sit and enjoy sunny New Mexico's mountain views by day and starry skies by night while you grill up some steaks for fajitas.

Located in Historic Eastside Santa Fe and with its plethora of opportunities for skiing, biking, hiking, rafting and more, Casa Viva is the ideal spot from which to enjoy your Southwester vacation. So book your stay today!

Comfortable and would stay again

The condo was spacious, clean, comfortable, well stocked, and has several outdoor spaces. Though we would stay Casa Viva again the lack of a/c during the warm months could make the house uncomfortable, also I imagine 4 wheel drive would be necessary to exit the driveway during ice and snow.

Great location/property

Casa Viva was the perfect retreat. Having grown up in Santa Fe, NM, I chose this home primarily for its prime location—within walking distance of the Plaza and close to all the attractions we wanted to explore. The house was impeccably clean, and the multiple patios provided a serene and relaxing atmosphere. The rooms were spacious, each featuring its own full bathroom, adding to the comfort of our stay. While the upstairs half-bath toilet made a peculiar sound after flushing, and the Wi-Fi signal was stronger downstairs than upstairs, these were minor inconveniences. Parking was a bit tricky, especially when family came to visit, but a helpful neighbor suggested alternative parking spots, which made things easier. The neighborhood was exceptionally quiet at night, adding to the overall charm of the stay. The management company’s staff was very friendly, and picking up the keys was a breeze—just a five-minute drive from the property. I would highly recommend this home to anyone looking for an authentic Santa Fe experience.

Too warm

Nice spot, the checkin process was a bit of a hassle to have to drive 10 min to pick up and drop off keys. The condo was also extremely warm when we arrived and the heat did not seem to want to go off, making temp regulation inside difficult. Other than that it was great for our purposes!

Amazing stay except...

The property was beautiful and cozy. The whole trip was awesome. One thing was an inconvenience that we assumed had been taken care of. We had read a review of the property that stated the heater wouldnt shut off. The property managers responded to the review that theyd get it taken care of immediately. We assumed it had. Had to sleep with windows open in the bedrooms to stay cool. The house reached 88 degrees with outside temp under freezing. I believe around 22 degrees. With the windows open we slept great. Floors were heated so that was nice too. We were out of the hose during the day skiing but when we would return it was quite hot. With all 3 thermostats turned to off.

Incredible!

We were so impressed! The condo was spectacularly clean and well-appointed. We loved the views from the upper decks. They layout was perfect for two couples, one with a teen son. Hard to tell from the photos, but one bedroom actually has another (third) small bedroom adjacent, so their son had his own little nook. We had a minor issue with one toilet, which was resolved very quickly. I reported it late morning and the repairman was there within just a few hours. Kokopelli Properties impressed us! We will absolutely be using them again.

Santa Fe Family Trip

We had a great time, the property has great views, and it was pretty well supplied with most essentials (take what you consider really essential or ask beforehand). Our main problem was temperature regulation, which actually wasn’t possible except by opening doors. A minor issue—the washing machine’s lid isn’t attached, and bring your own detergent.

Very nice unit

The unit was very clean, bedrooms large, kitchen well/stocked with high quality equipment. Although the location is close to the downtown and the plaza, it sits at the top of a large hill, so that needs to be considered when if you want to walk. We had problems with one of the toilets, all low flow and the heating system. Maintenance came by several hours after I called and fixed the problems. But property manager said the toilets (Kohler) were problematic. Heating system is radiant floor heat, so not very responsive if change room temp. Only one wash cloth got three bathrooms. Very limited TV options, only local channels without cable. So not even CNN, ESPN.

Beautiful space - close to downtown

A lovely house, 15 minute walk from the center of the town. We were only three, so space/crockery was not an issue. I think that with 5, it might have been. Also note that one bedroom is self contained; the other two are interconnected - i.e. you have to go through one bedroom with double bed to access the smaller bedroom - that has a single bed. Location was great. Balcony with good views across the town. My main complaint is the price - and the way in which final cost on VRBO is so opaque. You cannot believe the sticker price at all. The final price is anywhere between sticker price +30% and sticker price + 50% .

Great location in Santa Fe

This was a great spot for our Santa Fe vacation, close to the downtown plaza, with lots of restaurants and grocery stores nearby. Clean and spacious, with a nice kitchen. We enjoyed the sunset views from the living room. It was too cold to take advantage of the outside spaces, but there was a nice balcony and patio as well. Beds and furniture were comfortable. Be aware that you have to pick up and drop off the keys to the property from a different location. Would definitely recommend!

It was a nice facility and we all enjoyed the property. Listing was misleading because there was no AC in the downstairs bedrooms. However, management worked with us to resolve the issue.
