This was my first Airbnb stay and I waited as recommended by Airbnb to hear arrival instructions but paniced when after three weeks I had not. Once I reached out the host was quick to respond.
Lovely place, gorgeous view to the west, and a convenient short walk to a protected beach and delicious restaurants. Kalapaki is a protected bay, to swim and to try stand up paddle boards which you can rent right on the beach. We watched the better paddle boarders on the waves every morning over coffee and watched them again, as well as the sunset, every evening over gin and tonics before walking to dinner. The neighborhood was very nice and safe, parking was easy peasy and we could drive toward either "end" of the island with a shorter drive time.
The home was well equipped in the kitchen and we cooked breakfast every day and even entertained one night. The apartment was clean and new like a condo but had lovely furnishings and art that made it personal. They even had a cast iron pan. Thank you for sharing your aerie. betsy
