Well, my husband and I spent one month on the island of Cozumel and spent 3 of those 4 weeks sprucing up Casa Cascada.<\/font><\/p>\n


<\/font><\/div>\n
These are just a few things that we worked on…<\/font><\/div>\n

<\/font><\/div>\n
New landscaping around the pool<\/font><\/div>\n
New landscaping in the Fishbowl garden<\/font><\/div>\n
New landscaping in the main garden and the exterior wall<\/font><\/div>\n
New grass in the main yard<\/font><\/div>\n
Pressure washed (and scrubbed) the pool deck and walkway<\/font><\/div>\n
New solar lights in the gardens and the party deck<\/font><\/div>\n
Re-Stained and sealed the exterior wall front door, garage door and front door to the house<\/span><\/font><\/div>\n
Touch up painted inside and out<\/span><\/font><\/div>\n
Painted the security bars downstairs<\/span><\/font><\/div>\n
A multitude of minor (but annoying) fixes that had been overlooked (replacing a broken lamp, new toilet seats, unplugged the rain shower heads, etc)<\/span><\/font><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/font><\/div>\n
We also had a LONG and difficult discussion with our property management company.  The house just wasn’t up to our standards when we arrived and it literally took us 3 weeks of running around scrambling to get the house back to how WE wanted it.  Now, we have a NEW POOL COMPANY and a NEW GARDENER!!  Needless to say, this was a big learning experience for us.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/font><\/div>\n
Also, there is a new great restaurant right across the street, El Cocktelito.  They have the best ceviche (and cold beer).  In fact, I think I had ceviche 3-4 times a week since we would stumble over there after long days of working on the house.  Oh, and the few times we couldn’t even drag ourselves across the street, they delivered!<\/span><\/font><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/font><\/div>\n
Hope you like the improvements!  We have plans to stay for a month next year and we plan to add the roof (and lighting) to the party deck and do a few other large improvements.<\/span><\/font><\/div>\n
