Forgive me for the lengthy review, but there are just so many things I have to say about this rental! We have traveled the world and stayed in many airbnb's, and this was honestly one of the absolute best stays we've experienced. There are so many thoughtful, tasteful and top-notch touches in Jenni's luxury cottage, I could write a novel about how perfect this space is.
It is the cutest, most beautiful place, we didn't want to leave and cannot wait to come back! The floor plan is perfectly laid out, a perfect space for a couple. The furniture is comfortable and stylish, the bed is the like sleeping on a cloud, and the decor is so lovely. Jenni is truly a talented designer, she's created a color scheme that is fabulously tranquil. Thoughtful touches abound... comfortable robes, tons of wood hangers in the closet, and more beach gear than you could ever need or want.
I love that the entire home has wood and tile flooring, no carpet or rugs at all, which make it feel so clean and sleek. The A/C and fans work great, as does the WiFi. The enormous TV is a great touch! The communication with the host was always very prompt and pleasant.
The gourmet kitchen is perfectly equipped with everything you could possibly want and more. We really appreciated things like the Vitamix blender, high-end appliances, including fridge with water and ice dispenser, induction stovetop (which boils water in about 10 seconds!), under-mount stainless single-basin sink with garbage disposal and modern pull-out kitchen faucet, abundant utensils, lovely dish ware, slow-close drawers. I'm obsessed with the gorgeous herringbone-style glass and stone mosaic that Jenni chose for the kitchen backsplash.
Bathroom highlights include river rock/stone floor, Grohe plumbing fixtures, solid-surface countertops with under-mount sink, lovely little container filled with cotton pads and Q-tips (so thoughtful), stunning backsplash that ties in to the built-in shower insets. The shower is huge, with a glass partition, bench for easy leg shaving or resting while you steam away the sand and salt water.. Two operable windows for plenty of natural light and ventilation, plush and plentiful towels and washcloths. I love how much bathroom storage there is for toiletries.
The outdoor space is to die for. The large covered patio with Weber gas grill, spacious deck, outdoor shower, salt water hot tub and private tropical enclosed yard. It feels very secure and safe. The privacy and quiet of staying in a detached cottage with no shared walls is such a special feature as opposed to a condo or townhouse. And the location is awesome, very close to the beach, shops and restaurants. I highly recommend staying at this luxury cottage, you will not regret it!!!
