This charming and private casita is perfect for one - three guests. It's a short walk (three blocks to the downtown Plaza) with on site parking. It has been totally remodeled and renovated by me with new windows, bath and kitchen complete re do.
Casa Azul is furnished in my always popular Melissiana Style which is antiques, Consignment Store and Estate Sale treasure, all original Taos art and of course my sense of whimsy throughout!
You enter down a flagstone pathway to your cozy little house. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you might need. I always say that if I don't have it, you won't need it! Refrigerator and gas stove with oven. Great random tile counters and I do have so much fun re purposing kitchen cabinets...
The living room has a loveseat sofa sleeper with a gel foam mattress for one with all bedding, coffee table and entertainment cabinet. I put in a corner gas log stove for heat and wonderful ambiance. Just like a wood burning stove, but no logs or ashes to deal with.
There is an equipale (Mexican style) table and two chairs. Bright, fun and festive dishes with nice big coffee mugs.
The bathroom is totally re done with random tiles and all amenities.
The bedroom has a tongue and groove wood floor that I played with after a staining mishap. (Don't believe you can stain and seal with one product and don't stain boards outside on a hot/sunny day!) Queen bed, good reading lights of course. There is a closet complete with cozy robes and a dresser.
There is a totally private rear landscaped walled back courtyard garden with table/chairs and a BBQ. The patio is flagstone with a large shade structure. As with all my properties Casa Azul is dog friendly I provide dog sheets to cover loveseat and bed as well as mutt mitts for clean up. Dog fee is $10 per dog per night which should be added at time of booking. If you choose to stay more than 30 nights I offer a generous 50% discount and $100 per pet per stay fee.
This casita is part of a compound with a main house (Casa Grande VRBO 860840) with three bedrooms/two baths and another Casita (Casa Verde Vrbo 920144) one bedroom available. All can be rented separately or can sleep a group of 2. Each space has a private entry and private wall garden courtyard. The only space that is shared is the full laundry room which is available for all guests. All have off street parking.
This entire downtown compound was featured on the 2017 Taos Home & Garden Tour. On a Saturday in August I got to show off my style to 500 tour goers!
If Casa Azul is booked for your dates please look at Casa Verde Vrbo 920144 which is very similar and in the same compound.

    Casa Azul is centrally located: less than a 10-minute walk to Toas' Plaza. It was charming and it was clear that whoever designed the interior paid a lot of attention to details. She even had coffee and coffee filters available. Only complaint: the operation of the TV was confusing, and we were unable to ever get it to work properly. I would, however, highly recommend Casa Azul. Our stay was delightful.

    Melisa was a wonderful hostess! The property was beautiful and clean and exactly as advertised. The pups absolutely loved the enclosed back yard and my little fur girl enjoyed running in circles from the yard through the living room, kitchen, bedroom and back out to the yard. It is rare when both humans and dogs can find pleasure in the same spaces. The location was ideal - walking distance to the square and other local attractions and easy access to get out to the ski resorts and national forest for hikes and fun outings. Thank you for making us feel at home and so easy! We will be repeat customers in the future.

    We had originally booked Casa Azul, but accidentally booked the wrong dates. When I contacted Melissa she was very understanding and graciously offered one of her other properties, Casita Juliet, that was available. The space was delightful, and even closer to the event we were attending. We would definitely book with Melissa again.

    Spent a splendid week and a half at Casa Azul — a very special place! Mere blocks from Taos Plaza, yet very quiet and private. All modern appliances in kitchen and bathroom, with lovely design touches throughout. Beautiful and large back patio. Melissa is very helpful and responsive. I can’t recommend Casa Azul more highly and would definitely stay there again!

    A totally relaxing and fun stay. A quiet neighborhood on an ultra-quiet street. Within easy walking distance to the plaza for great eats and to a grocery store. Casa Azul is small, but just right for two adults and a boxer dog who enjoyed herself as much as we did. A clean, comfortable and well-stocked dog-friendly home away from home.

    Its location was perfect, a couple of minutes walk from the plaza and the shops and the Main Street through Taos. The property was a lovely older casita. It was nicely decorated with really nice back yard. The appliances were old but worked fine. Melissa was incredibly responsive and helpful with the few questions we had. My only reservation was that the bed seemed small, even for a queen, and the mattress was OK, at best. Overall, it was an excellent place to stay and visit Taos.

    We stayed in Casa Azul for two nights. Melissa has thought of everything—or doggie used the do blankets, we enjoyed the yard and the short walk to the square. Taos is a great place to visit and this property was darling.
