My husband, 1.5-year-old daughter, and I had a nice one-month stay. The hosts and permanent tenant neighbors were very kind and welcoming and even helped us get some tasty fruit from the property (this otherwise can be tricky). Fruit basket and beach toys were thoughtful touches. The kitchen and living space are adequate for a long-term stay, and the bed is very comfortable. SUV recommended as we saw multiple residents scrape the bottoms of their standard sedans on the potholey, rocky dirt road.
A few things to note:
-The place feels more like a 3-plex than a cottage. The breezeway shares a wall with some permanent tenants’ home. Another AirBnB is right behind this place and has a balcony which is directly over the master bedroom, so we could clearly hear footsteps and conversation (and unfortunately they surely could hear our toddler).
-The lanai is about one car length away from the road, and when sitting on the lanai, cars (including UTVs and old trucks) go by frequently, and the smelly pollution encourages you to retreat into the house.
-The sunset views shown in the photos are from the neighboring AirBnB’s 2nd floor balcony. This rental is just one story, so the lanai view is pretty obstructed by trees
- There is a photo with purple chairs; these face a nice big yard (no photo), which our daughter enjoyed running around in (just watch out for dog poop!)
-Red stairs and area shown below them in the photo are private (permanent tenants’)
-Coffee is provided for the beginning of the stay but is not from the property (you are able to try the raw coffee beans from the trees, though!)
-Oven doesn’t work but toaster oven does
