Why La Joya?
La Joya Oasis is a traditional "old Florida" style house built in 1946. In fact, our home was one of the very first to be built in our neighborhood. Over the years, La Joya has been upgraded and remodeled and now features the modern conveniences you would find in a newer home. ​
In Spanish, "La Joya" means "the jewel." We believe the name fits our little slice of paradise. Without a doubt, our biggest source of pride is the lush tropical vibe we have curated in our garden (with the help of Mother Nature, of course). We work tirelessly to offer a unique experience for guests that feels as if you stumbled upon a secret garden, centered on a warm inviting pool, surrounded by many species of palms and other tropical plants.
A Reputation for Satisfied Guests
We work diligently to ensure all guests enjoy an exceptional experience. When questions or issues arise, we address them quickly and efficiently. This is reflected in the recognitions we have earned and continue to maintain from the major vacation rental sites

Interaction with Guests
Upon initial arrival, we strive to welcome our guests personally whenever possible. We understand this is not always feasible so we also offer self check-in under those circumstances. Based on our past experience, taking the time to personally greet our guests seems to work best to answer questions, accommodate special needs, or address any requests.
We have 3 small mixed-breed dogs. When outside, guests might briefly encounter our girls in one of the common areas. The dogs are not allowed to roam freely nor are they ever allowed to enter the private guest apartment.

Your privacy is always a top priority while maintaining the grounds of a 5-star property. To those ends, the owner / host lives on-site in an adjoining living space. The owner / host living space utilizes a separate entrance thru the courtyard & via the east gate on the property. The eastern edge of the property between the house and fence as well as the southernmost portions of the lot are reserved for owner / host use as well as routine maintenance operations. These areas are separated from the house and pool area by bamboo privacy fencing and lush tropical vegetation.
