Cheri and Scott exemplify what is best about Airbnb. Unlike the formal, arms-length relationship one experiences at hotels and third-party rentals, with Cheri and Scott you can share a slice of life. They are wonderful hosts whose guests are their friends and whose home is filled with love and beauty.

Cheri decorated and helped Santa (me) prepare the bungalow before we arrived late Christmas Eve. Scott upgraded the outdoor grill while we were there; this one sears at high heat.

About the place, the bungalow is secluded from the winds of the beach and the sounds of the road. When you sit outside under the canopy, the tropical landscape reveals its beauty layer by layer, a visual feast that invites contemplation and relaxation.
