Stepping through the doorway of the Coconut Casita feels like entering another world – a tropical sanctuary where every object tells a story and the surrounding "jungle garden" whispers secrets of times past. In this heartfelt conversation with Linda Roberts, we uncover the remarkable journey of how a once "smoky, dingy, and sad" guesthouse transformed into one of Vero Beach's most beloved Airbnb destinations.
Linda shares her fascinating dual identity as both an internationally board certified lactation consultant and doula by day, and a passionate Airbnb host by night. The Coconut Casita wasn't born from a business plan but emerged organically following the passing of Linda's mother, with whom she had spent 15 years cultivating the lush garden from nothing but mud and a few trees. What started as a whim to perhaps host "three or four people" quickly blossomed into something much more meaningful.
What makes the Coconut Casita truly special is its authentic soul. From the Swiss-crafted family table that seated generations to her children's retired surfboards adorning the walls, every element has significance. Linda's approach to hospitality – offering garden tours, local culinary treats, and even occasional botanical cocktails while respecting guests' privacy – has created an environment where travelers from around the world feel instantly at home.
If Vero Beach is in your travel plans, the Coconut Casita might just become your new favorite getaway.
