I cannot express how wonderful my stay at Rowena’s was. As a female solo traveler, I felt EXTREMELY safe and comfortable at her place. It was exactly as described; the outdoor private patio (and fire pit!) was incredible to have at the end of the long day, I was able to walk along the beach every morning (10 min walk from the house), the bed was very comfortable, and I had access to use the common spaces in the house AND the beach chairs, towels, surf boards etc. Staying there and knowing I had access to all these extra amenities made my experience extremely easy. Parking was very easy and the neighborhood felt very safe to walk around at night.
The best part was getting the chance to talk to Rowena. She was really wonderful to get to know while also respecting my space and my privacy.
To be totally honest, I was originally hesitant about booking this place because of the cost and I typically prefer the entire home to myself, especially traveling solo. BUT it was absolutely worth every penny. It was worth it in order to feel so safe, comfortable, and to have all the amenities. My stay truly exceeded my expectations and I would return in a heartbeat!!
