This Airbnb was a very practical option. The home was well kept and the beds are so cozy! We appreciated the plethora of towels and extra sheets available to us in the linen closet, as well as laundry facility and laundry soap available for us to use as needed! Kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to cook, and there is a really nice grill on the outside deck! I highly suggest leaving everything in the fridge or freezer so the bugs don’t find their way In and the home stays clean and bug free like it is upon arrival! WiFi was crazy fast, and tv has all the apps you need! There are games for the whole family on a night in, and we truly had a blast!Overall, Chrissy was a wonderful host and I truly believe she tried her best to be accommodating and helpful. She allowed me to send a piece of mail to her
Personal address once I realized it wouldn’t make it to my home town before our flight. She was very kind and understanding of the situation.
The only remarks I really have that others may want to be aware of is that the house is a lot smaller than it seems in provided photos. The two rooms, a great size, do share a wall, and the living room and kitchen are quite small and the only dining area is on the deck. The outside deck is gorgeous and it made up for the lack of space in the common areas. The other thing that I was caught off guard by is that the Airbnb is said to have an AC unit. Upon arrival, the windows were all opened and there was no thermostat to be found. The only AC that can be provided is a small one room unit that is only installed upon request. That being said, Overall, the stay without an actual thermostat was pleasant. The draft created from the windows really kept the place cool, even cold, at night and well into the afternoon. It was a struggle during the hottest parts of the day, but we would often be in a car with ac by then anyhow!
Finally, my last note is that owner is fairly serious about making sure outside lights are off at night and Small AC unit is off when gone for the day. Overall, I can understand the request for the lights, especially for the security light that we didn’t realize was on at first, that light was bright and I totally respect that request, but at the same time, if we are paying $4,000 for a two week stay, I expect that if we want to keep some low light bistro string deck lights on, that we should definitely be able to do that without fretting. I also expect to be able to run AC within reason, to keep house cool for our return.
Overall, keeping everything I’ve said in mind, I did enjoy our stay and I would recommend this stay to anyone wishing for a private, beautiful home in haiku! It really is a great deal and a beautiful home!
