The host: Responsive, detailed, and informative. Nancy responds as soon as she can with useful information for various types of activities you can explore in and around the area.
The place: Quaint and stylish. The place seemed to have been decorated thoughtfully. It’s small, but it doesn’t feel claustrophobic. The bed and pillows are comfortable; the comforter, not much. There was no sheet with the comforter so we had to use the one that’s provided with the fitted sheet for the futon (where our daughter slept). Not a big deal because we just used one of the blanket throws in the living room as her blanket. The bathroom is enough and they provided plenty of body wash, shampoo, and conditioner. A towel, hand towel, and wash cloth was also provided for each of us (3 sets). The futon is uncomfortable; we should’ve asked for the air mattress (I think) that was mentioned in one of the previous reviews. Again, not a big deal. Our daughter was so tuckered out, she didn’t mind. It would’ve probably been a different story if an adult had to use the futon. The couch, on the other hand, was really comfortable. The kitchenette is enough for a day or two’s worth of staying. I’d suggest adding dish soap and sponge, however. Again, not a big deal since we just used the hand soap that was provided to wash whatever we used. The complimentary water was thoughtful and truly appreciated, but maybe at least two or three should be provided for a two nights’ stay. I think I read somewhere that we can request for more but didn’t because the owner was away on vacation as well. We just used the Brita pitcher and it worked out okay.
The area: It’s a great area to go around and explore various places. It’s close to several beaches and food places. If you don’t want to go far, take a couple of steps outside the house and you’ll overlook the ocean. There are also trails by the house.
Overall, it was a great stay and host. Thank you.
