Service and location, location, location!!! Melissa and her husband were great to us. Before we booked, my husband and I nicknamed the place the surf shack based of the pictures we saw posted and when we saw the place, that was somewhat of a good description....for all the positive reasons. It's two levels with a cabin feel. Given close proximity to the beach, there were a lot of geckos and some ants but very few inside. Reflective of their efforts to keep the place clean. The beach is off of their backyard and it's so beautiful and private. The waves were surfing waves and mesmerizing to watch. This was my first Airbnb booking and I want to thank Melissa for making it such a good experience. The backyard is shared and since we were with our two young toddlers, I was initially concerned about the interactions or over exuberant kids imposing on Melissa's space but Melissa, her husband and friends were so welcoming and friendly, that concern went away quickly (and thankfully the kids were on their best behaviour :) ). When we would run into them, they were always asking if we needed anything and letting us know of the local festivities going on. Thank you so much for your hospitality ! Do not hesitate to book this place!
