WOW, WOW, WOW!!! Staying at Mark and Hope’s gorgeous sanctuary was THE BEST Airbnb experience we have ever had!!!
We cannot thank Mark&Hope enough for the extraordinary experience that we had staying with them. Their incredible hospitality and generosity (in every way!) will be forever treasured. We have travelled a lot (we have been away for 5 months in this vacation to Europe and California, and travel a lot every year) and we have NEVER stayed with such beautiful hosts - thank you, thank you, thank you!!! From the generously and beautifully equipped guest apartment, to drinks at Mark’s Tiki bar and sharing a BBQ dinner together in their gorgeous garden under the Redwoods - we absolutely loved our stay with them!!! Our 4.5 year old son felt at home immediately and bonded with their gorgeous dog Chewy, who has a beautiful nature and reminded us of our dog at home. And our baby was completely besotted with both Mark & Hope and enjoyed cuddles while they held her so I could eat dinner or have a drink at Mark’s beautiful handcrafted bar that he made himself from Redwood from his own property - stunning!
And, if their beautiful hospitality and gorgeous sanctuary wasn’t incredible enough, they express posted (at their own considerable expense) my son’s beloved stuffed Giraffe, “Maxi”, to our next accommodation after they found it left in their apartment. Absolutely incredible!!!
The apartment itself was perfect for us with a private entrance, delightful large deck area to enjoy breakfast, beautiful master suite style bedroom with super comfortable bed, fabulous double bunk room (which our son loved - complete with toy boxes filled with LEGO, wooden train sets and other toys), a lovely bathroom with double sink and all the bathroom accessories that you need (fluffy towels, great hairdryer!, toiletries etc), kitchenette with a fabulous coffee machine (with generous portions of coffee and coffee milk), biscotti, chocolate, teas, fresh apples and even Bob’s Mills Oatmeal pots to make for breakfast - SO generous and VERY thoughtful!!!
After 2 days staying with Mark and Hope, they feel like life-long friends and we sincerely hope that they take us up on our offer to come and stay with us at our home on the beach in Australia.
We can’t thank Mark and Hope enough and we can’t recommend them and their beautiful sanctuary more highly to everyone!!
