Robert is a wonderful host and his home is absolutely beautiful! We stayed there on a family vacation (from Virginia) and could not have been happier. The home easily accomodated my husband and me, our daughter's family that includes 5 and 2 year old kids, and my son and his girlfriend. The open floor plan for the common areas in the house is complimented by the gorgeous and large front and back patios, which gave us lots of space to gather when we wanted to and spread out when needed. As others have noted, there were many touches that made the house even more special - such as extra towels and pillows, a throw blanket, tons of seating in each gathering spot, and not only shampoo, conditioner and soap in the bathrooms but also body lotion! - a real plus for those of us traveling by plane. In addition there was a pack and play crib, beach towels, and a garage full of beach chairs, sand toys and even a bike! The location is also fantastic - it was an easy 3 block walk to the beach (where there is a playground) and the neighborhood is lovely and quiet while being only few blocks from stores and restaurants and a quick 15-20 minute drive to the airport and numerous attractions.
Robert is a warm and engaging host who communicated clearly and made us feel very welcome. I look forward to another time when we can rent from him again!
