Very long review here: Victoria and her mother Dodie have created a beautiful Garden Room that is well equipped with all the essentials we needed for your stay. It was just as nice visually as the pictures present. The home is located in a beautiful neighborhood close to shops, restaurants and the beach....However, as much as I loved the space and the garden, we didn’t have the greatest stay and had an uncomfortable first night. I’ve waited 2 weeks to write this review because I wasn’t sure if I truly wanted to share about our stay. I’ve decided to be honest about our experience; not to take away from the space - because it truly is beautiful, immaculate and you really can see and feel how much time, money and care has been poured into it. I’ve decided to be honest because I truly wish there were more details in the reviews of others that I would have known prior to booking... You see, my husband and I work in law enforcement and were looking forward to a MUCH NEEDED quiet, private weekend after driving from Las Vegas to escape sin city and the stress of our work...but our first night wasn’t much of an escape. We arrived and ended up having 4 different interactions with Dodie in the first fews hrs, to include a face to face interaction in a not-so appropriate nightie, on top of being in the middle of a quarrel between the host and the resident tenant who lives in the lower unit of the house when we first arrived. For future guests, please park on the street so the tenant who pays to live there (who is a flight attendant and has a busy schedule) can utilize the driveway when she comes home with her luggage from work. Also, keep in mind, the garden room and the rental unit share walls and they are so, so thin. We could hear the tenant’s conversations word for word as if we were in the same room, as well as some conversations occurring in the living area of the main house above the garden room. The second night went fine, aside from a power outage which then meant the host was at the door and coming into our space to help find flashlights and to bring a lantern (however helpful, still not much for privacy). Although the power outage was out of the host’s control, it just took away from feeling like we were in our own space. It felt as though we were guests in her home (which you really are since it’s attached to the lower portion of her home), but if that’s what we were wanting we would have just booked an Airbnb in a shared residence with common living areas. Overall, it was hard to relax knowing that our conversations could be heard by whomever was in the house and not really knowing when the host would be back at the door. Let’s just call it mercury retrograde showing up in full force! It was quite the experience, but at least we were in a beautiful space right?! Although beautiful, this was a good lesson for us that we truly value our space and privacy and will look for a more private place to stay next time simply based on our own specific wants and needs. Best wishes to you on your experience!
