What a lovely getaway! Paul & Meg's home is literally a street over from the HMB Main St. downtown. With an early rising toddler, we grabbed coffee at M Coffee (not many shops open on a Monday am). We learned what a quaint community HMB is, where it seems everyone knows everyone. The home is also a short, short drive to Hwy 1 and the beach. If it were sunnier, I might have felt inclined to walk to the beach. In any case, everything is true: the homemade cookies were delicious, the fresh flowers and fruit were perfect and lovely. It was so nice to come "home" after a day of exploring each day. The roses by the door literally greet you with their fragrance! The only cautionary note I will leave is that if you are highly sensitive to cat dander, please let Paul know before your stay. Although their cat was nowhere around, my body sensed the dander through the vents. In any case, Paul was so easy to communicate with from the start and has truly made the Airbnb experience our preferred method of vacationing. And this was only our first time booking through Airbnb! Thanks, Paul!
