I was quite impressed with both the host and the house. For one, the house was closer to the beach than I had expected. We could hear the ocean waves crashing onto the shore out of every window in the house. The sunset was incredibly beautiful to watch out on the deck or while kicking back on a cozy couch in the living room. The host, Joan, made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed including coffee, orange juice, muffins, and more. The house was very cozy and we were all quite comfortable. I will come back again someday and tell all my friends about this place because it is lower than most prices of hotels that are further back from the beach. My friends and I really enjoyed our time kicking back at Bali-by-the-beach and the home is equipped with everything you need such as beach chairs and beach towels no need to have to pack all that with you. If you are looking for a beautiful, quiet, neighborhood that is close to the beach for your next vacation, I would highly recommend staying at this rental house. You will feel right at home as soon as you arrive at Bali-by-the-beach.
