Charming, luxury, and comfort is an absolutely perfect way to describe Gary and Marianne's affordable room. My husband and I stayed one night before we retreated to the west coast for our honeymoon and I'm so glad we found this place and these lovely hosts. We were greeted with fresh water in a carafe and a clean home/room upon our arrival, given a great dinner recommendation when we went out to explore that evening, engaged in interesting and memorable conversation upon returning from dinner, enjoyed a lovely small breakfast snack before we packed up the next morning, and received a dozen fantastic tips that helped us shape the rest of our trip. It was our first Airbnb experience, and Marianne and Gary truly set the bar high for future endeavors. We didn't spend much time at the residence, but the kitchen was gorgeous, the room was perfect for our stay, and the bathroom doesn't get enough credit in the listing: it's gorgeous and comfortable and I took a much longer shower than I had intended because the facilities are that great. We loved the area, and were really grateful that we started our trip on this part of the island before we moved to the resort-filled west side of the island. Great communication with Marianne the day before we arrived, and so much warmth and humor and kindness from our hosts. There was even a rainbow outside their home that evening, which made the first night of our honeymoon feel even more magical.
There was another couple honeymooning in a small cottage further back on the property, but we wouldn't have noticed if Marianne hadn't mentioned it. Even though the room and private bath are right off the kitchen and breakfast nook and some sound may travel, at no point did I feel awkward or exposed or like we lacked privacy- and I'm a very private person and even feel odd crossing living arrangement boundaries when staying with friends and family.
I thought that this listing may be too good to be true and was prepared for disappointment- that price seriously can't be beat, especially for the ambiance and amenities - but it was a truly perfect place to stay for our first Airbnb experience. Thanks, Marianne and Gary!
