GREAT location. So close to everything, and several good restaurants are in walking distance. Beaches are a short drive away, as are several great hikes. They made a parking space available, so coming in and out was a breeze. It's helpful to know that while this is a private space, it is connected to another unit where I believe the family lives, so the entrance is around the back of the property. They were great for check-in and will show you exactly where to go and where you can park. The fact that they are connected to the property does enhance their responsiveness! We had to reach out for a couple extra items, and they responded very promptly.
The space is EXCEPTIONALLY CLEAN, which makes for an even more comfortable stay! They have AC units in both of the rooms, plus a portable cooling fan. We positioned it at one of the bedroom doorways, and the air flowed great through the whole space. They also have packaged travel size bathroom items, like shampoo, soap, comb, toothpaste, etc., which was a nice touch.
They also have a Netflix guest account on the TV, which was nice when we wanted to watch a movie or something after a day of activities.
Based on our recent visit, here are a few things I'd want to know about staying:
• The beds are firm, as other reviews have noted, but the primary issue is that the queen bed does not have a mattress, only a boxspring. Surprisingly, that wasn't horribly uncomfortable, but the addition of a mattress would make a huge difference!
• You might want to bring your own pillow. The queen bed has comfortable pillows, but the pillows on the king are uncomfortably thick.
• The coffeemaker was great! But we had to purchase our own coffee.
• The kitchen items = bare bones. The basics are there, but there are only about 3 of everything (plates, bowls, mugs). We actually left some tupperware in the cabinets so there was a place to store leftovers. There's no dishwasher, which is fine, but we were washing dishes just to reuse them shortly after.
Overall, this was a great experience, and we recommended the above items to the host.
