We had such a lovely time in Karen’s home. You can tell what a caring person she is from the emails she sends and her home also reflects her considerate and caring nature. She has thought about every detail, both in the beautiful decor and in her concern for her guests.
I felt transported to a faraway tropical island the moment we walked through the door. The rooms were spacious, yet felt cozy, well-loved. And I haven’t even gotten to the view! It’s fantastic. We ate-in more than usual while on vacation. Karen has a table and chairs on the lanai overlooking the view. Breakfast was a slice of heaven with that view, along with a glass of sweet fresh orange juice, with oranges picked right from her tree next to the house, and fresh coffee with beans left for us. At night, as I got into bed, I smelled sweet blossoms from the nearby window. Delicious. There was a noisy little frog one evening, but his “croak” sounded more like a bird tweet. He was asleep by the time we went to bed and gone the next day.
No question we sent to Karen went unanswered, and her responses were always kind and helpful. She even told us how to cut down bananas from her tree, but unfortunately they were too green to cut, so we’ll have to do it next time… and there will be a next time!
I was planning on writing an entry in the Guest Book inside the house before we left, but we were running late. I hope Karen prints this and places it in her book as my entry! We are so appreciative of our stay in her spot of paradise.
