In the heart of Vista Lago, where leisure meets luxury, February brings with it a special focus—the grand re-introduction of our cherished Casita. Nestled above the garage, this hidden gem has been a retreat for Lisa and I since we built it. It offers breathtaking panoramic views of Lake Havasu, the best sunset view in town and the neighborhood beyond. This little slice of paradise is a guest favorite so it was time for a little personal reveal.
The Casita has been more than just a part of Vista Lago; it's a secret oasis that stole hearts from the moment we opened its doors. Offering the perfect balance privacy and a sense of expansiveness to our guests, it became the showstopper for large groups seeking a unique experience. For Lisa and me, constantly seeking ways to enhance our real estate portfolio, the Casita became a canvas for growth, innovation and a few wild ideas I've had.
Inspiration behind the decision to revamp
With the desire to evolve its function at Vista Lago, the decision to revamp the Casita was fueled by a vision to create a specific vibe—one that resonates with both a romantic, masculine feel. We envisioned a space that paired well with the natural lighting for a more intimate and soothing atmosphere.
In the realm of Airbnb hosting, The Casita presented an opportunity for discovery. The concept of
parent-child listings emerged, offering a unique way to optimize the platform for hosts. Whether you have a pool house, guest house, or an unused space, the addition of a parent-child listing can add significant value to your property. If you think you might have the perfect opportunity for that, reach out! You know I'm always happy to help out, offering advice to those who are looking to forge a similar path in the AirBNB world. Take it from me, I’ve been in this business long enough to show you the ins and outs!
Explanation of Airbnb sister listings
In simple terms, a
parent-child listing is an additional space on your property that can be listed separately on Airbnb, providing guests with an alternative and more intimate experience.
Benefits of offering the Casita separately
- Intimate experiences for guests: The Casita offers a cozy retreat for individuals or couples.
- Access to spa, pool, and grill area: Guests can enjoy these amenities without renting the entire house.
- Limited availability: To maintain exclusivity, the Casita is available only when the main house is not occupied. However, guests renting Vista Lago have full access to the entire property, including the Casita.
The Casita not only adds an extra layer of allure to Vista Lago but also diversifies our property rental strategy, providing guests with more choices tailored to their preferences.
The Revamping Process
Our revamp journey was a total collaboration. We joined forces with a local designer in Havasu, whose work we admired from afar. Despite Lisa's design expertise, the collaboration proved invaluable, infusing fresh perspectives and creativity into the project. It was also so much fun to watch how other experts in their craft bring ideas to life, how they formulate their process and how they execute a project.
Featured companies and products used
- Paint selection: We went with earthy tones and muted colors to complement the natural lighting.
- Fixtures and furnishings: These were thoughtfully chosen to create a romantic, masculine ambiance.
- Notable products: Every element was carefully curated to contribute to the Casita's transformation.
