My partner and I were so fortunate to have Happy Huntaway as our first Airbnb experience because it was absolute magic.
We've both only stayed in hotels previously and weren't sure what to expect. What we found was that Happy Huntaway felt like a second home. It was cozy and intimate with space enough for each of us to have time-out and relax in our own personal space.
The location was beautiful as it was a very short walk to the beach and had beautiful views. We could even lie in bed and stargaze before watching the sunrise. It is a short walk from the local bus stop, and an easy 20 minute walk to the shops or the local car rental agency.
Our host, Louise, is very friendly and approachable. After she introduced herself, her lovely son and their gorgeous dog and made sure we had everything we needed, she gave us complete privacy and independence. As a couple that really values privacy and independence, we found Louise to be really considerate. And it was also nice to know if we needed anything, she was happy to help.
What really put the accommodation over the edge for us was the thoughtfulness behind it. It was the little touches that really made a difference; an umbrella by the door in case we needed one, a couple of spare power-boards, spare beach towels, plenty of spare warm blankets for those cold nights, a collection of DVDs for the perfect night in, magazines, books, and a fully stocked kitchen.
Our only regret about our Happy Huntaway stay was that it wasn't longer.
