First off, I have to say this was one of the best Airbnb experiences my family has ever had in the six years we’ve used Airbnb.
It had everything we could possibly need; binoculars, boogie boards, beach chairs, etc.- even strategic labeled stickers on light switches to help us know which switch lit what light.
It really has a unique charm like none other.
When looking at the pictures, everything looks outdated and kind of small, but trust me when I say this- seeing it in real life is a totally different experience. The interior comes together incredibly well, and it’s more spacious and bright than you think, probably because of all the mirrors and large windows. It’s also INCREDIBLY clean, and everything feels new, even with the retro furniture and unique designs.
Not a single thing felt cheap, old, dirty, or broken.
Of course, it’s still one big room, but it truly has a charm photos just cannot capture.
The view from the balcony is lovely, as well as the sounds of birds in the morning and overall wildlife around. The peacefulness also makes it easy to enjoy the views at any time.
Whether this is a positive or a negative for you is personal, but if you’re a light sleeper, expect to be woken up by the sunrise (because of the brightness in the room due to the windows). It was like this for me, and I personally enjoy that. The rest of my family easily slept through it.
Another important thing to mention is this bungalow is not within walking distance of anything; the neighborhood does not have consistent sidewalks. It was perfect for us since you’re driving everywhere anyways.
The hosts themselves were the most hospitable we’ve ever had; they felt like good friends! They immediately replied to all our questions, had an assorted fruit basket in the fridge upon our arrival HAND-PICKED from their backyard, and even surprised us with a delicious homemade bread loaf at the door after a long day.
Overall, I cannot stress how much of an unforgettable Airbnb experience this was.
