Al and Vic, thanks so much for having Holly and I for the past month. I hope we have been good guests and not too much hard work for you. I have thoroughly enjoy my time here as you know and it's turned out to be a very cathartic experience which I desperately needed. Following is a little review for you that I've written in the 3rd person for some reason?!
These Hosts are two of the most beautiful, generous and accommodating people that I have been lucky enough to meet and get to know fairly well during my stay in Ocean Shores. They were both so welcoming, happy, kind and friendly the minute my Border Collie and I arrived up North from Melbourne, well over a month ago to our final day with them today
Here's their secret (according to me) - Al and Vic not only provide a perfectly adequate accommodation setup, allowing Guests to experience all that Ocean Shores has to offer by living with and amongst the friendly locals for a period of time. Even though their space may not be considered "traditional" by some in terms of its layout, let me assure you that it is highly functional, wonderfully positioned, aesthetically private and very pleasing, and as the Airbnb Advert mentions: that staying here allows you (and only if it's what you want of course!) to: slow down, take stock, to unwind, and gives you "breathing space again". If you want a 7 Star Luxury Holiday or Break don't stay here, BUT If you want an opportunity to enjoy a most peaceful, quiet and friendly town community atmosphere, amazing local cafes, access to a beautiful and seemingly neverending clean beach, and then to be able to stroll back home afterwards to relax and stay in this quirky, yet extremely well appointed and private space offered by Al and Vic, then I urge you to look no further. They are two really wonderful, insightful, generous and intuitive people, who will do anything to help make your stay a happy one. They have mastered the fine balance between respecting a Guest's space and privacy requirements, as well as being around to provide the perfect amount of Host interaction as required. I promise that no matter how long you might stay here, you will definitely leave feeling so much better than you did before you arrived. And if you're lucky like I've been, by allowing your "mind to unwind" while in Ocean Shores, you too may leave with a "rejuvenated and revitalised soul" like I have.
Thx for everything Al and Vic. James Page xoxo
