The breakfast room doubles as a gift shop, showcasing local jewelry and other items that are available for purchase.

Shaan, one of the owners, explains that they want their visitors to feel comfortable and have the freedom to explore the city on their own or with their guidance. According to Shaan, their property is unique, and guests who have stayed there once tend to return. The owners intend to offer their patrons a quiet and peaceful environment to "relax and unwind," explains Shaan. One guest mentioned in a review, "The owners were truly delightful, friendly, and helpful. My friend and I loved the location, as the views are beautiful. It is in a lovely residential area where we could go for a short walk higher up the hill before breakfast." Casa Cuma Bed and Breakfast has four rooms available year-round, but the business tends to cater more to a seasonal market from July to October.

Shaan and Colleen try to prioritize making improvements every year. Colleen takes a particular interest in making sure that the property always looks welcoming to visitors.
