This was my first trip on Airbnb and I can say that every future host I may encounter has a great deal to live up to. Brad has got to be the most accommodative, considerate, responsive, and gracious host in the Airbnb universe. He was in constant contact with me to ensure that everything about my stay was going perfectly. But he was never overbearing or interruptive.

The bungalow is exactly as represented. Though, the pictures do not do it justice. Brad has obviously expended a great deal of thought and spent (I feel certain) no small amount of money to carefully rehab the cottage. It has all the modern conveniences without losing any of its retro charm and personality. As an example of the detail to which he went to maintain the beach cottage milieu, is the Crosley turntable. On which, Bryce, a charming young man, was playing a vintage Eydie Gorme album, when he greeted me. What a fantastic way to begin my beach escape from the miserable Arizona heat!

The Casper bed was just as Brad described. A perfect sleep! The bungalow is very close to the beach (about a 10 minute walk) and a wide selection of restaurants. My personal favorites were Flake for breakfast and Gjelina for dinner. Both are within easy walking distance.

If there is one drawback. And I emphasize just ONE! It would be the traffic noise. The bungalow sets at an intersection and the weekday mornings beginning at approximately 7:30 can get a bit annoying. But, in reality, one should be out at the beach rather than sitting in the cottage. Also, I never found the traffic to be a bother in the late evenings after 6:00pm.

All in all, a wonderful stay at the beach!
