This backyard + pool area is unreal! It’s so secluded and peaceful that you could almost forget that you’re literally walking distance from some of the best food/art/music in the country. I can think of no better way to spend our recovery time from all the amazing food and drink than lazily floating in the pool, just us and the birds.
Part of what makes Mariah Rae the best kind of host is that she truly lets you have it all to yourself. She’s quick to let you know (via text) that she’s available, should you need anything but I can’t imagine how that would be necessary since she seems to have already thought of every possible need that could arise and addressed it in some way (mosquitoes bothering you? No problem! Just use the nifty anti-bug lanterns she’s left on the shelf by your door!). When we did run into her (as we were returning from lunch and she was giving the dogs some yard time) she was super friendly and welcoming.
The room itself is small as you can see in the photos, but set up in such a way to make perfect use of every little nook. We had no trouble moving around inside even with our luggage and an ice chest. It really doesn’t matter anyway because who wants to hang out in a bedroom when you’ve got a tropical oasis outside?
Easily the best place and host we’ve encountered on Airbnb. We can’t wait to go back.
