Barbara's place was very clean and extremely pleasant and stylish. Her home includes several upgrades throughout the home which includes the kitchen and bathrooms that create a feeling of luxury. The architecture lends a feeling of living in an exclusive beach house with skylights, interesting ceiling lines and windows, and a feeling of openness and airiness. There were plenty of blankets and a well stocked kitchen. She provided coffee and other incidentals like oils and spices for cooking. My only complaint would be that I felt slightly mislead by the first photo in the gallery. The picture of the two wine glasses shows the ocean as if you can see it very clearly. That photo was not taken from the house. From the upstairs master bedroom you can see a sliver of ocean in the distance. That's it. One of the reasons we booked the house is because someone would be spending a lot of time at the house and I thought he would have a beautiful view. Not so!
