Second time at La Casa

The house was great. Everything we needed so we could enjoy our stay. Plenty of room for our family and close enough to the lake so we could walk to the lake or up to the pool and store.

Family Holiday

This was our third stay at La Casa resort. Sheri welcomed us with a gift basket, and her place was very comfortable with everything that was needed for a family vacation. There is a fully stocked kitchen and bbq for cooking, and the lake and other amenities are walkable from the house.

Amazing vacation!

We are a motley crew of kids, teens and adults - and everyone loved it here. The 4 bedrooms are a rare find for La Cassa and the games room was the perfect icing on the cake to keep everyone occupied. The place is very well organized, full of helpful amenities, and the hosts are very attentive. Will definite book again!

Wonderful summer vacation spot

Great space for a family group. We stayed for 5 nights and would have liked to stay longer! This house was bright and spacious with a cosy living room on the mainfloor and second living room with pool table and darts, and tv in the basement. The lake and pool are about a 10 min walk, and many people rent golf carts. You can drive as well, there is parking at the pool at beach. Fintry provincial park/campsite is a short drive away and was lovely. It has a great playground for children, a beach and a hike. Host was super responsive. Thanks for a great stay Sheri!

Great house

Our stay was fantastic at the property. The best set up for 2 families that we’ve had the past couple years coming to La casa :) the house was clean and well set up. No complaints aside from not getting a good lake view but we were too busy having fun to care about the view haha

Amazing Summer Spot

It was absolutely amazing to be at Sheri's rental. Beautiful place with all that you need to stay. Played pool every night, sat on the balcony every evening and enjoyed the view. Close walk to both beach and cottages amenities up top. 100% will go back!

Relaxing summer stay at LaCasa

We had a super stay at Sheri’s lakeside home in West Kelowna. Very easy check in, the home is immaculate and clean with all you could desire - several tvs, great kids room with pool, table tennis and darts, not to mention relaxing couches with a large tv to wind down to. Lovely front deck to catch the morning sunlight over breakfast, followed by the setting sun for evening dinners out on the back deck and a fire pit if the temperature drops a little. Great bbq, a short walk to the beach and the pool, and generally a perfect get away!

Interrupted by wild fires

Our stay was full of fun, relaxation and adventure. The cottage was well equipped and exactly as described. Even on the smoky days we had fun. Unfortunately we had to evacuate, due to the fires, 3 days before our intended departure. But it was easy and the management and service providers kept us up to date. Untill next year

Awesome!

My family and I loved this place. The cottage was clean, light and inviting. It had everything we needed and more. The facility was superb, we played mini golf, swimmed in both pools and lake, ate a delicious crispy chicken sandwich, got tips on what to see and do from the friendly staff. Sherri left us a wonderful welcome basket and the the welcome binder with very helpful information. Check in and out could not have been any easier. We are already to trying to figure out days to stay agai n.

La Casa Getaway

Wonderfull well appointed vacation home! We love to cook so the kitchen and all the amenities did not disappoint. Handy wine fridge! Great BBQ on the front deck, along with comfy patio furniture made for a good lunch spot. Was just the two of us, but ideal for larger groups. High ceiling in the living room makes the space seem so spacious. The beds are very comfy! Access to the beach and pools was fantastic. Games and entertainment room with large screen TV, pool table, ping pong & darts has potential for fun evenings. Communication prior to our arrival was easy & helpful, the check-in process was seamless. Definitely recommend staying here and looking forward to visiting again next year!

Well kept property; perfect for family

We stayed in this property with 2 families (8 people) for 5 nights. The space is perfect for a group. The kids loved the games room & the decks are great. There is a tiny lake view on one part of the deck but mostly just looking at other houses. Close to trail to marina & market & other amenities. The beds are all very comfortable & there is tons of bedding. The kitchen is extremely well stocked for cooking big meals. Everything you would ever need!!! Lots of dishes & space with the extra fridge & wine fridge. We had a main water break during our stay unfortunately but the owner responded immediately & we had it fixed for the rest of our stay. She also reimbursed us for some garbage bags as we ran out & some other groceries for our hassle immediately. Very responsive. The ice maker stopped working as well which was a pain but she is aware & will fix. Spotless!!! One of the cleanest vrbos I’ve stayed in. Thx for a great stay! Would highly recommend for families!

Overall, great place to stay.

Beautiful home, and wonderful host. Kitchen stocked with all your cooking needs, lots of games and toys to use. Wished i had ask for a complete list as we ended bring some of our games and sporting balls, life jackets and didn't require them. We had two power outages during our stay which were a bit of an inconvenience as the first one shut down the southbound roads so we had to take the long trip around up to Vernon to get to Kelowna. Overall great place with great amenities, downside was the commute into Kelowna, we thought it was a bit far. They also had a golf net set up by the mini golf. Wished I knew that as i would have brought my clubs instead of just my putter.

Fun Family Cottage Stay

We had a great stay with extended family (couples trip). It was a great location with lots of cute cottages and tons of great amenities. Our place was quite well taken care of and clean, as well as tastefully decorated. It also had plenty of seating which isn't always easy to find in many rentals. It was a bit tough navigating the two bathrooms with 4 couples, as one of them was connected to the master bedroom which was upstairs, and separate from the rest of the place. It all worked out though. It would be very helpful to have mirrors in each of the other bedrooms to make getting ready a little easier with that many people. We appreciated the lovely welcome basket with the beverages and snacks! Thank you to Sheri for helping me out with the last minute filling out of the registration forms which I had overlooked. Because the cottage is in a Strata there is extra paperwork that needs to be completed before receiving the information needed to enter the property. It was a bit cumbersome but manageable. La Casa is a fun place to hang out with family or friends and I would recommend it to anyone wanting a fun-filled vacation.

La Casa

The house itself was great. It had everything we needed. Our one downfall was the location. The long winding road to get to La Casa was terrible. No real beach with easy access. winding roads to get to the pool. The pool was awesome the little store was great. The photos in the ads didn’t really let us know where the house was located. We did find out after from people who have been about the road situation after we rented. There wasn’t much available at the time. But we did enjoy our time over all. We were a bit concerned about the deck railing. It seems not very secure.

Fantastic family vacation!

Wonderful location and amenities. I’ve never been to a rental property that thought of everything! Literally, everything you might need! There were a few minor issues such as the cleaners still there cleaning when we checked in after 4pm. The wasps were ridiculous but not the owners fault and left multiple devices to kill them. The main floor and basement beds were very comfortable but unfortunately the king gave my husband and I terrible back aches. Overall, we truly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it!

Family Vacation

We had a wonderful stay. The communication prior to our trip was fantastic and we were welcomed with an amazing welcome basket!!! The accommodation was perfect, kitchen was outfitted with absolutely everything we could need which is much different then some of our vacation rental experiences. Beautifully decorated with every comfort we needed. The beds were some of the most comfortable we have slept in and made for great sleeps. Mornings on the deck were calm and quiet while enjoying views of the lake and even had some friendly deer come by for a visit. The amenities on the property really catered to our family fun with mornings at the lake and afternoons at the pool and some mini golf. Spent our evenings relaxing on the deck and some fun pool tournaments and time by the fire pit at night!! We were able to get away and play some golf at the local courses which was a short drive and returned home in time for lunch and a swim. Was such a great holiday for our family and Sheri and Sean were such a pleasure to work with setting up our family holiday. We can't wait to visit again!!

Overall it was a nice property. It worked well for our group. No fault of the owner but construction was horrendous. Blocking roads and loud heavy equipment. Perhaps the resort should ban home building during July and August at the height of the vacation season.

Retreat in Fintry

The property is as advertised and provided all the amenities our two families were looking for. From the 4 bedrooms, to a very well appointed kitchen, BBQ, deck and games room this house provided a great family escape in the Okanagan. The home also provided full access to the resort amenities including pool, hot tub, tennis courts, marina etc. The owner was very responsive and took steps to ensure we enjoyed our stay.
