This house is super interesting. First of all, it’s a refurbished turn of the century, Victorian home that was beautifully restored from condemnation. The home is three stories and offers a variety of rooms. While I am certain the second and third floor rooms are delightful, the set up on the first floor is a bit unusual.
Entering the lower floor is lovely. It’s got a great, loungy, tiki vibe with straw walls, real bamboo and fountains. The rooms on that level do not have ocean views but the ongoing rumblings from the airplanes are barely noticeable down there. We stayed in “The Garden Room” which reminded me of a clubhouse or a small mancave. The ceiling was really low which worked out fine for us since I am 5’2” and I was traveling with children. The room has a toilet and a sink. Speaking to other guests it seems that the lower rooms were the same? The shower was outdoors and I found it impossible to get undressed and get in without potentially exposing myself. I found it charming otherwise. It reminded me a lot of Chinese “BinGuan” style that I experienced while traveling there. I didn’t hate it but my kids refused to shower. For three days!!
Overall our stay was pleasant. Michael was very attentive to our needs and communication was on point. The kitchen was great, living areas nice and comfy. Just know that if you end up on the lower floor, you are in for an adventure.
