casita, noun

ca·​si·​ta | \ kə-ˈsē-tə

Definition of casita: a small house

First, a truth-in-advertising disclaimer. Though we call it “the casita,” it’s not a small house. It’s not a big house either; it’s just a normal house.

• No pets
• No smoking (do we even know anyone who smokes?)
• Stay up to a week
• Keep in mind that we both are working so probably are not free to play with you during the day. There will be exceptions of course.
