Rick's Zen Villa was just what I was looking for - a cozy getaway spot with just enough amenities to be comfortable staying in on a rainy day. The space would be tight for any more than 2 people, but it was perfect for the 2 of us. Everything was clean which was particularly important right now during the pandemic. The bed was very comfortable and cozy. The outdoor space was lovely and we made great use of the hot tub. It was also nice having the washer/dryer right there to dry our swimsuits after using them. Rick was an easy, prompt communicator and gave us all of the information we needed. Everything was where he said it would be and check-in was a breeze. I was a little worried about not having a designated space to park my car, but the street parking was ample and we never had to park more than a block away from the space.
Two things I would point out as potential issues for other travelers are noise and privacy. Rick mentions in the description that there's some noise due to proximity to the airport. This is a bit of an understatement. The space is located up on a hill and it's definitely in the flight path of landing airplanes. If you stand out front you can watch planes at near eye level as they come in for a landing. For us this was a funny quirk, but it might be annoying for others. The other thing I'd mention is that while the space is very comfortable and feels secluded, it is not very private. Rick has other units within the same space that are very close to one another. There are slats in the fencing that you can see right through to each other's hot tub areas. Also the neighboring buildings both had windows that looked right down on us in the hot tub. Again, this wasn't a problem for us but if you're looking for total privacy you probably want to look elsewhere.
Overall, this was the perfect stay for us and we would definitely stay with Rick again the next time we're in the area.
