This place is absolutely gorgeous, and the pictures didn't do it justice. This isn't just an airbnb, treat yourself to a private hotel.
Easily seen and clear signage marks the turn off the main road down a long winding gravel driveway lined with lamp posts with hanging baskets of flowers up to the house. Tom greeted us at the door right away and showed us around. He knows hospitality, and it shows.
Every bedroom is very well appointed, with lots of space and storage, a tv, and extra touches such as bottled water, keurig machines, a bottle of sparkling wine, and a little fridge and microwave discretely hidden in the large closet space. The private bathroom attached to the room had a tub with jacuzzi jets, and heated towel rack. The views of the water are lovely, and you can wake up to the faint sound of water and gulls if you have your windows open. The common areas include the gorgeous spacious entry, a living room with a piano for those who are musically inclined, and an extensive balcony/deck with outdoor couches, tables, swing seat and gas firepit. This is a great spot to enjoy your morning coffee looking out over the water, or to curl up with one of the provided blankets and enjoy a couple drinks around the fire with friends.
Upstairs there is a common area with a pool table, and in the basement is fitness equipment. There is also the indoor pool with attached hot tub, areas to lounge, and a bar to store your drinks if you are so inclined. Most rooms, including the pool and the balcony have amazon echo speakers, and of course there is wifi throughout. Tom and Carol have a very well-behaved (and adorable) cat and dog that we had the chance to meet, but they mostly stayed in the private wing of the house. There are some areas under some construction (from the sound of it, it will be even more luxurious when it is all done), but there was no mess or noise during our stay.
We arrived for the weekend to explore the surrounding area, but will have to return just to enjoy the house and the property more!
