Good to know

The Casita features a darling, compact, and fully equipped kitchen, highlighted by an open window bar with a stunning reclaimed River Cypress countertop sourced from the Cape Fear River. The living area includes a loveseat, coffee table, media shelving, and an ottoman that converts into a twin bed with a memory foam topper for added comfort. The bedroom offers a plush Queen Nectar mattress, along with a spacious storage closet and armoire. The bathroom showcases rustic Southwestern design with a custom glass shower wall. Enjoy coastal living outdoors on the front bistro patio or the screened back deck with string lighting—perfect for morning coffee or evening wine. A fire pit table offers cozy nights with marshmallows, while a Smart TV and in-unit washer and dryer add convenience. A private hot tub, reserved exclusively for guests, is tucked into a secluded garden just steps from the front door.

House Rules

Although occupancy is set at two, I do allow for a child to accompany under the age of 18, if discussed and approved at booking. If a third adult guest is requested and approved, there is an additional extra person charge of $75. There is no smoking allowed at the Casita. This includes marijuana, cigarettes, cigars, etc.. and if marijuana odor is detected, after third party confirmation, there will be an extra $50 odor mitigation charge. Hot Tub Use: Please shower off body cream lotion, oil, mousse, and ‘leave in’ hair product (or put hair up) before entering the hot tub. This prevents a greasy surface film and cloudy water.

Other Details to Note

The shower is designed for individuals 5’10” and less. If you are taller, you can still shower happily, but the rain shower head will not be fully experienced. This was a mechanical necessity. Ring doorbells located at the front door of the Main house and on the back door of the Main House

Accessibility and Availability

Neighborhood

The Casita is located in the quaint, Princess Place neighborhood. The neighborhood is complete with 1940’s Bungalows, a neighborhood park around the corner and is bordered by Burnt Mill Creek, an amazing wild life destination. The birdwatching is spectacular and each year we are introduced to a new King of the Gators (the throne is passed on each year). Walking is a popular pastime for residents and guests.

Guest Access

This ground floor apartment is all yours with no shared spaces. You enter on the side of the Casita with a key coded lock entry. My backyard garden is open to you for your enjoyment and to the Carriage House Guests, the apartment above the Casita. Right outside the entry door in the adjacent garden is a four man hot tub for guests of the Casita and the Carriage House. A fire table and screen deck are right behind the Casita for open air enjoyment.

I got what I expected and way more from this place. The location of my trip was great, and Lisa’s Airbnb upgraded the experience. This is a stay I will remember forever and reminisce on often. Thank you, Lisa!!

Oh where do I start..Lisa was an amazing host. The house was fantastic, the hot tub was amazing and sitting by the fire place was the cherry on top. My hubby and I explored downtown and would recommend anyone whom stays here in the future to try the following for good food. The fork and cork and the peppered cupcake. Flaming amys burrito barn, and k38 Baja grill were amazing lunch spots. I truly hope this place remains affordable so my husband, and I can venture here again in the future. Lisa, your amazing and best of luck with all your future endeavors ❤️
