What a gem! 💎
The house is cozy with very comfortable beds in four bedrooms, and the two back bedrooms that stay dark in the morning - enabling my early rising son to sleep in.😉
The driveway is steep, but you get a house that is set back for privacy and a VIEW - I enjoyed the spectacular sunrise every morning. There are two compact parking spaces for the rental which was perfect for our one giant vehicle.
If you’re looking to cook, Marina’s house has just about everything you need including extra spices. If you want to roast, the stores are a skip away to purchase disposable roasting pans - just bring an oven thermometer. (I carry one to every Airbnb I go to) We could not locate serving dishes, but a pro tip is to purchase the disposable roasting pans that come in 3-pack - less dishes to wash anyway!
We also appreciated the washing machine and detergent in the kitchen. It saved us when my kids dirtied just about all their clothes playing outside. And for clean up, Marina supplies a ton of soap, shampoo, conditioner, towels - just bring a toothbrush and toothpaste!
The wifi allowed me to work every morning, my kids to decompress on their iPads, and get quickly addicted to Squid Game on Netflix which is complementary.
And last of all - the location is AMAZING. When you have little ones, driving 10 minutes to the Zoo and Sea World is EVERYTHING. I was a bit over theme parks by end of Day 2, so we went to the harbor - another fabulous place to visit yet super close to the house.
Thanks for hosting us, Marina! Your home enabled us to create memories for a lifetime. ☺️
