Everything about my experience was awesome; 5 stars all the way.
1. The grounds. Tropical plants and flowers, and the fruit and avocado trees! Eating fresh fruit and avocados was a bonus! Plenty of parking.
2. The pets. Dogs Roman and Milo and the pups Shilo and Loni, the cats and bunny are clearly well loved creatures that brought me great joy, being a pet owner.
3. Location. It's a gated entry which I prefer, and completely central to many places on that side of the island, like 9 miles or closer from anywhere you want to go.
4. The accommodations: Even nicer then the photos show and very large with an exceptional sleep experience in terms of comfort. Super clean throughout. Love the deck spaces too! Plenty of room for Yoga.
5. Kitchen and dining area: The kitchen is well stocked to cook with very organized spaces for each guest in the frig and for dry goods.
6. The OUTDOOR SHOWER!!! In the islands I try to stay where there is an outdoor shower but this one is the best so far...large, beautiful, private and lush full of orchids and a large lava seat. Oh yeah!
7. Saving the best for last.....The experience: The family style dining was perfect. We'd all sit down at the large table and share our plans for the day or our experiences from the day. One fond memory is when I arrived back after dark, got out of my car, and immediately could hear lively laughing and conversation of several people at that table. And of course it was Riann and Lisa who initiate this with genuine friendliness to make it feel like home. I was at the end of my stay but listening outside brought happiness that I had definitely made the right choice to stay at this Airbnb.
Thank you Riann and Lisa for taking great care of us and for making our experiences fantastic, for the thoughtful, informative discussions about the island and for the most comfortable stay! You just cannot get all this from a hotel!
Thank you so gratefully and see you again sooner rather then later!
