How to get started? You can either speak with Tony or Pat with initial questions, or reach out directly to Amii and Andy of Sunshine & Reign for more details, and let them know you’re interested in The Casitas Package.

Take your romantic stay to the next level, with an hour or 1.5 hour long massage in the warmth and comfort of your own casita.

If you prefer to head to a spa, we can also offer suggestions but please let us know a few days in advance. The more notice the better chance of getting you in room experience of course! We think we have negotiated a wonderful rate for a massage to come to you!
$110 for a 60 minute massage

Note: due to room constraints, couples’ massage is not available but most of our massage therapists would happily take you in succession and allow the other to relax by our pool or with a good book in our great room or deck. We would be happy to keep you company if desired or allow Kona to take you for a walk or game of frisbee!
One of the things we hear most from our guests is “where did you get those sheets”? One of the things that we really work hard on is giving our guests a good night’s sleep and a great breakfast in the morning. We can’t send you our breakfasts but we can send you our sheets. These sheets from “Comphy Company” are comfortable, easy to care for and long lasting. Microfiber does not have a “thread count” that cotton sheets tout, it just has comfort.
Sets include a fitted sheet, flat sheet and two pillow cases and come in twin, double, queen, standard (eastern) king and Cal King. Available in several colors to match your decor. Order directly from us and enjoy our volume-purchase pricing. Download this (Order Form) and follow the instructions. Your sheets will be shipped to you from the company.
Traditional Swiss Fondue for Two
(or more, based on request)
Savor a traditional Swiss Fondue delivered to your suite so you can fully enjoy your fireplace or the great outdoors, sitting on your private deck at sunset. Our fondue is made with Gruyere and Emmenthaler cheeses and served with crusty artisan French bread, grapes, and sliced crisp apples for dipping. It’s the perfect way to stay in and end a day of wine tasting or for a light dinner after your drive after checking into The Casitas. There is not better way to enjoy our country setting. It’s a romantic touch and all you need to add is a great local bottle from one of our local vintners or a selection from one of your own library wines. – $125
