About this property

El Castillo (The Castle)

  • It is a treat to stay in this house. This is an English Tudor Home/Castle with over 5,000 square feet of space to enjoy plus a lush garden with various seating areas. No need for you to rent a hotel when THE CASTLE is the perfect mini mansion for family or business travelers needs. Each piece of furniture was carefully selected to fit the style of the home, filled with antiques. This home sits almost on top of a hill where the wind blows freely and wild and exotic birds can be observed.

    The space
    We are located in the city limits, but given the space and location...at times it almost seems like it’s outside the city. It’s a very peaceful area. Where you can either sit in the front yard, or back patio and enjoy the birds passing by or stopping by for a visit. The airport, the expressway, the convention center, the mall, dinning, library, and shopping are all at less than 5 minutes away.

    This is a very spacious home with 5,000 square feet for a family to enjoy or business travelers. 5 bedrooms to enjoy, large kitchen with all the essentials, a TV room, a formal and informal living, a formal and informal dinning, a bar or coffee bar in both formal living and TV room, perfect to watch games in TV. A very large back patio with lots of seating areas. It has 5 bedrooms and can sleep 10 or more guests. FYI it’s a 2 story home, so caution with small children. Come stay with us!

    NOTE:
    Having a birthday, baby shower, bridal shower, business meetings, large family gatethering, wedding, sweet sixteen, intimate/private events, etc we also rent the house as an event venue? Please ask for our packages and a tour.
