We had a wonderful stay at Don’s place. The location couldn’t be better- walking distance to a beach where we saw turtles and seals! There is a beautiful sunset off the back lanai, and it’s quiet and peaceful. He was so helpful, and left us a ton of things we could use at the beach.
One thing to note- the back bedroom with twin beds does not have AC (there is a freestanding AC unit in the main bedroom). I actually don’t like AC, and there is a nice breeze from the ocean, so I didn’t think this would be an issue. There was a small note that recommended closing the sliding glass door which opens onto the lanai that is ground level with the parking/sidewalk- which makes sense since you wouldn’t want people coming in/looking in while you slept. However, the first night I closed the door to the living room and the sliding glass door, and it was simply too hot to sleep. Because of the closed doors, there was simply no airflow. The next night I left the curtains, sliding glass door, and door into the living room open and got some nice cross breezes into the room. It was much better temperature wise, though less private to sleep, with no doors closed. The front bedroom gets lovely ocean breezes- I wish I could have moved the AC to the back bedroom- my parents didn’t need it!
Overall, my stay was absolutely wonderful. I would absolutely recommend staying in his lovely home.
