CASA de las OLAS INFORMATION
Welcome to our Mexican home. It has been wonderful with challenges from time to time. All worth it. We hope that you enjoy your stay in our Isla home and ask that you treat it as you would your own. Enjoy !!
Casa de las Olas history -- After visiting Isla for several years, property became available in the south end. In 1999 we purchased our lot. The main house was finished in 2002 and ready for move in without power. That’s right, the first two years there were no poles along the street. Generator, my, it was noisy. We, few homeowners, established a home association and worked with the electric company to get electricity (of which we had to pay significant dollars). In 2004 we added the Mexican Casita so we would have more room for visiting family. 2005 was a big year with our last major hurricane, WILMA. We woke up and the house was still here, so we said, OK," let’s put in a pool". In 2006 we were swimming. In 2012 we remodeled the master bedroom and bath with a heavy sliding door for our privacy when family and friends arrive. In 2019 we decided to share with others and rent when we were up north. That same year we added split air-conditioning to the bedrooms. Full house air normally is not needed plus expensive. So here we are in 2022, I am 80 (I dare not give my wife’s age) renting to you as we spend a little more time with family in the USA. So, please, enjoy our casa for us.
Our United States home is also on an island, about twice the size as Isla, called Grosse Ile located in Michigan. We are very thrilled to have two homes with water all around us. Lucky too! SO PLEASE ENJOY OUR ISLA HOME.
