How Casa Ki Came
To Be... |
| In 1992, after several years
of vacationing in Zihuatanejo, we were looking for something new and
different, so when we met Dewey McMillan one morning while sipping
coffee at a local diner, we were open to his suggestion of a day trip
to a “neat little beach just up the road a bit” where
he was opening an inn. We went for the day, stayed for a week and
made an offer on a beachfront lot. “Wouldn’t it be fun
if…” Once back in Capitola, California we put the
house on the market just to see what would happen. It sold for
full price in a week. Immediately panic set in. We really
weren’t expecting this, so what to do now...? |

Ed, working for a Senior non-profit company
and myself a Registered Nurse working for Public Health...we’re
not talking real risk takers here. But we had done just that! So,
we took a leave of absence from our jobs, packed up books, clothes
and dog into an old van and began our journey to Mexico. The rest
is history. Without a real plan in mind, we built a two-bedroom house
for ourselves and a separate, private bungalow. People came and loved
the homey, comfortable, tranquil setting, so we added on two more
bungalows, a community guest kitchen, a meditation / yoga palapa,
and a well-stocked library. More people came and wanted to rent the
house so we built ourselves a little crows' nest above the bodega. |
The local villagers were (and still are) very friendly
and supportive. What a warm, wonderful experience it's been. After
12 years, we still love the charm of this quaint village. With the
help of our daughter, Tina, who is now our Property Manager and
lives on-site, we are able to enjoy some time away from Mexico and
know that our little piece of paradise is being well taken care
of. We have worked very hard to make Casa Ki what it is today and
we hope you will come see for yourselves what a special place it
really is!
