What's better than a nice relaxing day at home? Well... how about driving just a few miles from home to take advantage of an amazing spacation at The Azalea Suite!
Although the pictures are quite enticing it does not truly capture the feeling of Zen you feel immediately upon arrivng in this space! The Azalea Suite is an upscale Airbnb that exudes the feelings of warmth, relaxation and comfort as soon as you walk in. I was greeted by a personal message on the dry erase board and small card from the host, Kristen. Such a small personal touch can go a long way!
After I unloaded my items from the car, I did a little tour of the space. The suite has a cute little entrance in the back of the house, down a set of stone stairs. There is a huge washer and dryer located in the space that you are able to use during your stay. This leads to the kitchen area. The kitchen includes a refrigerator, microwave, Keurig machine and an induction stovetop ad full sink. This was first time using both. Kristen was immediately responsive and helped walk me through how to use the equipment. All basic kitchen essentials from spices to cookware is at your disposal to cook up some simple but filling meals. Little goodies of snacks, juices and water are at your disposal as well as condiments in the fridge. Another small touch…a bottle of sparkling cider and fancy chocolates.
I then ventured to the massive bedroom suite. It is beyond evident that everything in this Airbnb was personally selected with thought, precision, and detail. From the paint colors used to create a warm and comfortable feeling, the decorative pillows and comforter on the bed to the aromatherapy options via sprays, oils and diffusers. Comfortable robes and fuzzy slippers greet you and truly add to the spacation experience. Godiva chocolates were on the pillow. The bedroom suite consists of a large and comfortable bed, which gave me some of the best sleep. There is also a small dining table with four chairs in the corner, which I doubled as my eating and workstation. On the opposite side of the room is a cute L shaped couch that you can lay up on while enjoying a movie on the large flat screen TV. The bedroom also has three windows, which allows for great daylight during the day but also allows for complete darkness during the night. The nightstand included cute little sleep aids such as eye masks and earplugs.
Next, I checked out the bathroom. The shower was amazing! It was spacious and so relaxing. Kristen definitely went all out with some top quality soothing toiletry products. You can choose from three different shower body gels that can relax or energize as well as some top quality shampoos and conditioners that felt amazing after using. Everything you could possibly think of or need was provided.
Lastly, I ventured out to explore the highly anticipated hot tub! The backyard especially at night is so pretty! There are plenty of different lighting options that really set the vibe. As if the hot tub is not enough, there is a cute patio set with a fire pit and grill as well as projector and huge screen to entertain yourself.
The Azalea Suite in located in a very quiet neighborhood that is just a short car ride to all the downtown attractions. All the work and pandemic stress I had been dealing with literally drained from my body during this stay and the Azalea Suite more than delivered! I eagerly anticipate my next visit. This location is not only great for a spacation and staycation it is also an amazing place to celebrate any special events. If you want to celebrate a birthday, honeymoon or take date night to a new level…this is the spot!
