CASA de las OLAS INFORMATION
Welcome to our Mexican home. It has been a wonderful venture with many challenges. 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. There were no other houses near our property. Our main house was finished in 2002 and ready for move in without any electrical power. Thatâs right, the first two years there were no poles along the street. Generator, my, it was noisy. We and the few homeowners down south of us established a home association and worked with the electric company to install 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," letâs 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 while we were up north. That same year we added split air-conditioning to the bedrooms. Full house air normally is not needed plus very expensive. In 2025, we decided to convert a large storage are to a fourth bedroom and bath. So here we are in 2025, I am now 83 (and the love of my life, Janet has passed) renting to you as I spend a little more time with family in the USA. So, please, enjoy our casa for Janet and me.
Our United States home is also on an island, about twice the size as Isla, called Grosse Ile located in Michigan. We have been very thrilled to have two homes with water all around us. Lucky too! SO PLEASE ENJOY OUR ISLA HOME.
