Jarrod and Maria’s place was perfect for a cozy beach weekend getaway for my girlfriend’s birthday. Though it is just a short walking distance to countless restaurants, bars, and coffee shops, the home itself is surprisingly quiet. You can park your car and never have to enter it again until you leave town if you’d like. It’s just a few steps walk from the beach which is amazing and makes it so convenient if you have lots of stuff to carry to the beach. The home offers pretty much anything extra you could want- bikes, beach towels, outdoor storage for beach gear, even a wine key which we found incredibly convenient and useful when we brought a bottle of wine home one night to sit in the beautiful patio space and enjoy instead of going out for drinks. The yard space was probably our favorite part, honestly. The perfect place to leave your phone inside and sit outside and relax under the palm trees, string lights, and light the fire pit and truly enjoy the moment and atmosphere.
A couple of “small” things that we loved and found useful was the keypad (no more worrying about losing the AirBnb key!), the filtered drinking water tap in the bathroom, the blackout shades. There’s also a small fridge for groceries or leftovers and they have a binder full of pretty much any “local” tip you could imagine (which includes a ride share promo code!). Trash and recycling bins are easily accessible. Parking can be tricky around the area but was made incredibly simple from detailed guidance and information from our hosts.
The shower was incredibly spacious and the bed was super comfortable. My girlfriend was actually on crutches for the trip and just in case any other prospects who are looking into this space might be as well, it was super easy to navigate in crutches. Absolutely LOVED the stay and can’t wait to come back again.
