Kaeo and Karl's presence on Airbnb goes beyond a simple vacation listing. The space itself is lovely: simple and well-appointed, with everything you need and more, while the surrounding property makes you hesitant to ever leave.

No, it's the extras that make it special. We were greeted with a lovely home-cooked meal, in addition to more fresh fruit and snacks than we could possibly eat. There was equipment for snorkeling and exploring the beaches made available free of charge. And we kept finding little surprises, from the hand-lettered welcome sign to the tree house toward the back of the property to the pages and pages of suggestions on what to do in the area.

Most Airbnb listings are for a place to spend the night. Kaeo and Karl share pieces of themselves and their lives, while offering you all the privacy you need. This was truly the most memorable experience we've had in 3 years of using Airbnb.
