Pia and her co-host, Laura, were very sweet and welcoming. Their dog, Marley, was really sweet as well and they had some entertaining chickens running around their beautiful yard and gardens. They were super responsive to questions and very respectful of our privacy, checking in occasionally via text to ensure that we were comfortable and taken care of.
The place was well set-up with everything we could need, including a well-stocked kitchen, lots of towels, beach chairs, umbrella, and a collection of DVDs, books and games. They also had fresh flowers around the house, provided delicious fruits and breakfast foods and offered use of their boogie boards. The WiFi also worked well and they had really good water pressure in the showers.
Overall, this was a great place to stay and we would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a nice, comfortable place close to the beach. I should mention that the beach there is gorgeous and you can walk it for miles. The swimming was great, as well, with nice size waves and no rocks. Ōhope is a really cool little community in a very beautiful setting.
