K.R. provided a thorough tour of our room, the amenities and the kitchen. The bed was comfortable, the room was clean and it was lovely to have a private bathroom. Unfortunately, it was too hot to sit outside of the air-conditioned room for long, so I didn't get to take advantage of the beautiful back yard. She did, however, give some great beach recommendations to help us cool off. The neighborhood is not very close to anything, so a car really is necessary!

We did have a little trouble on the first day; she didn't mention a house key, I thought a key I found didn't fit the front door locks (it did, oops!). I should have asked her, but we were in a hurry to get out the door and she'd said she never goes out on Fridays and Saturdays (this was a Friday), so we figured she'd be home when we got back (she was not). When she drove up, she made fun of us (called us rocket scientists, etc.). We tried to just laugh it off and drop it (lessons learned and whatnot), but she continued to tease and say things like because I "couldn't work a key" that I may not be able to understand a note she'd left by a window in our room that said to not open it. And instead of just moving on from the oops, she continued to make "the key" a topic of conversation in every single interaction for the rest of our stay. :-(

We "made up" on the last day, for which I was happy. She was very kind to brew coffee and refrigerate it so I could have an iced coffee in the morning, and she loaned us beach towels, and a beach blanket for our trips to the ocean. She was a nice person, but we definitely had some hiccups.
