Tamsen did an excellent job of responding to any questions that we had along the way. The personal one-on-one attention was much appreciated and I don't believe that one would get this type of attention at a Hotel or other type of place to stay. This is what I was looking for in my first experience with airbnb.
The pictures of the place were very well done and actually make the place look bigger than it really is. I don't think the place is small, it was really quite perfect for us 4 adults, I was just really impressed by the photography. The Lanai, Courtyard, Pool and neighbors were not really promoted but are quite fantastic and met all of our hopes and expectations.
The Stores nearby were promoted, but I really didn't understand the wonderful convenience of having these shops, markets so close by. That was a real blessing for our family as we did most of the cooking ourselves and could just walk to a very nice grocery store adjacent to the property (which we did most every day).
This property is right off a main road so it was easy to find and convenient location for all that we did. Many beaches within a few miles. Our rental car place ended up being just a mile down the road. Everything very convenient.
The place was very well equipped with not only dishes (we cooked a lot), but also beach chairs, snorkel equipment for 5, children's beach stuff, umbrellas, and other things that one might need on vacation. You will not get these at a Hotel. We would of had to rent them. This attention to detail was very much appreciated.
My wife is very particular on where she stays. I want cheap, or at least inexpensive. She wants to feel convertible and at Home when on vacation. This place really was the best of both worlds. We both got what we wanted. Thank You Tamsen (and airbnb) for the opportunity to stay at your lovely place. I was a little apprehensive going in but was thoroughly satisfied in the end. We couldn't have been happier. Tim & Gail Trapp
