Very clean and nice place to enjoy a night away or before a cruise. Instructions were simple to follow and the owners did an excellent job of showing you exactly what it looked like. A private oasis.

Thank you so much, Teresa! It means the world to hear you enjoyed your stay. We work hard to keep the casita clean and the check-in simple, so it makes us so happy that it came through. “A private oasis” is exactly the feeling we hope every guest leaves with whether it’s a night away or a relaxing stop before a cruise. You’re welcome back anytime! ¡Pura vida! Dave & Lau

This little spot was comfortably perfect and conveniently located We needed an overnight stay before our cruise and didn’t want to spend a fortune on staying one night at the port. Dave & Lau’s place was the perfect option. Highly recommend!

Thank you so much, Brian! We’re so glad Casita LaVida was the perfect pre-cruise stop for you. That’s exactly what we hoped to offer a relaxing, affordable spot to unwind before setting sail. You were a wonderful guest, and you’re always welcome back before your next cruise. Safe travels and ¡pura vida! Dave & Lau

I thoroughly enjoyed my one night stay here! I’m a stickler for cleanliness and you can tell the hosts care about maintaining the studio. They also clearly care about making sure guests have a good experience from the little details in the studio to the timely and clear communication. I would definitely rebook if I return to Tampa!
