Louise's property is beautiful. It is very clean and the linen and towels were great quality. Beds were also comfy. Appliances worked perfectly. Even the stove was mighty hot for electric. Much hotter than our gas actually. Though the oven did lack some heat and the door did not shut properly, which is probably why it didn't have much heat.
Though unfortunately, I found the property lacked personal touches - the only thing personal was Louise's handwritten letter. There we also no beach toys provided for the kids, even as little as plastic spades and buckets to make sand castles or even better a boogie board too - since it is a beach side property. I guess we could have brought our own spades and buckets but definitely no room for a boogie board in the sedan. There was also no umbrella in the house, we were stuck in the rain outside cooking our veggies on the bbq.
It was also quite stressful having to stress about our water usage being reminded constantly to conserve water, as we already conserve water as it is and felt we had to conserve more than what we already do, and therefore did not quite feel like we were on a holiday.
I also felt the house had some sad, anxious energy in it, as I had broken sleep the whole time we were there - waking up anxious in the middle of the night. Perhaps it was the room we were in. In saying this, the house is still lovely and I could still feel love in there and its surrounding.
My favourite part are the sunrises. I was lucky enough to witness the sun rise above the ocean horizon the whole time we were there. It was like time stopped for me every time I was witnessing this magnificent view. Though despite the anxious energy I felt during our stay, being in the property have really helped me grow as that anxious energy have helped me step into my power. Therefore, I am still grateful for that energy I felt.
Thank you again for sharing your piece of paradise to the world Louise.
Maybe we will be back again as KALMD is definitely one of our favourites on Airbnb - despite this review sounding a bit negative. The property really is lovely.
Take care Louise and stay safe.
Kindest regards,
Jonabelle
