If you're on the fence, take my advice and just book! The attention to detail with the property that Michael and Joanna have curated is second to none- if there is a better Airbnb then I certainly haven't stayed in it. Even better, Michael and Joanna were absolutely the sweetest and warmest hosts I've had. Planning a surprise (and safe) birthday these days isn't easy with COVID, but with their generous help they made sure my girlfriend had, in her words, "the best birthday I've ever had- it's between this or being born." As we pulled into the driveway, a "Happy Birthday" banner was already strung and we were greeted like old friends.
Ample amounts of PPE were available and not once did we ever feel unsafe- it was so spotless we could have probably eaten off the floors. There are a few surprises I'll leave for future guests to find out, but everything is better than listed and even better to be experienced in person. The hot tub was serene and private, the back patio flows impeccably with the mature oaks and is perfect for a morning coffee and a book, and the Lovestream itself was incredibly cozy and more than enough for the two of us. A/C was solid and the heated blankets were clutch. And if there's something you happened to forget, don't fret- they most likely have it. There isn't a thing that they didn't think of- this place has it all, even the things you didn't think you needed. Coffee/espresso, tea, assorted snacks and drinks, beach towels, a backpack to use for picnicking, citronella candles, cruelty free bath products, robes...this felt more like a spa than an Airbnb...why didn't I book a few more days?
And the animals. THE ANIMALS! You'll meet so many characters in the sanctuary and I insist you take the time to book a private experience to get to know a little more about your selfless hosts and the animals they so compassionately care for. I already miss Joe.
I can confidently say that we will be back. Thank you Michael and Joanna!
