About this property

The Couple’s Paradise, Close to Downtown, Salt-Water Pool

Formerly an old nursery school, La Vieja Escuela (The Old School) has been updated, but still maintains the old charm of yesteryear with up-to-date amenities for today’s world. Locals call this type of apartment a "casita", we call it a "couple's oasis". Tucked behind the main house and next to another casita is this 1-bedroom apartment boasting a kitchenette, 24" stove, cable TV, Wi-Fi, queen bed, sofa bed in living room and a renovated salt-water pool.

The kitchen and bathroom have recently been remodeled, new mini-split system AC with heat pump.

About the host

Hosted by FERNEY LOPEZ

Host profile image
My name is Ferney Lopez and my wife (Geovanna) and I love to travel. If I were to retire today I would spend most of my time traveling and trying different foods from around the world. Since I can't afford that luxury yet, I'm a web designer/graphic designer by trade. My wife is a paralegal and real estate agent.

Why they chose this property

We have stayed in enough places to know what people like and want from their vacation experience. When we purchased Vieja Escuela we knew that it would be a success because its proximity to the airport, downtown, restaurants, beaches and other entertainment venues. We fell in love with the charm and character of this house and wanted to turn it into a vacation paradise. What gives this home its character are all the rustic features and decor to match it. We understand that many people want to experience the latest technology and shiny new floors and amenities, but there's something about the imperfections of old home that make it alluring.

What makes this property unique

The proximity to shops, entertainment and restaurants make this place a great choice for families. We have paid attention to detail when selecting the furniture so that it would compliment the Spanish-style home. The pool renovation has really brought the house to life so that our guests can enjoy Florida's beautiful weather.
