First, we LOVED the house. It was perfect for our little family of three. The house is cute, quaint, and incredibly charming. It is not a perfect house. And I don't mean to make that sound like a complaint, but more to create expectation. It's an older home with quirks, so don't expect to walk into a house that is perfect. That being said, again, we LOVED THE HOUSE!! My son loved running around the backyard, smelling the beautiful flowers, and picking a lemon or two (which Michelle said was ok!). Michelle communicated SO well, and it was so very much appreciated. This included things noted about the house (how the shower worked, what switches worked with what outlets, etc.), who to contact if we had questions or needed help, and a simple checklist for check out. Someone else complained in the reviews about being "expected to do laundry." It's literally tossing some towels in the washing machine on your way out.
The house was well stocked with dishes, a Keurig, coffee pods, shampoo and bodywash, and so many other essentials! Michelle checked in with us to make sure it was going ok. I accidently took off with one of her extension cords and she was really cool about that. I felt terrible, but I ordered her a new one. She was so friendly about it and I really appreciated that.
The beach was within walking distance (it was somewhat of a hike for our two year old), so that was really nice. The fog wasn't friendly to us though. Parking is a bit rough if you have more than one vehicle, as only one car goes in the driveway and parking is very limited on the street. Our friend was able to visit and park down the street. It wasn't a big deal at all.
This was our first AirBnB experience. I worry that it set too high of a bar for when we use the service again, as everything about our experience with this house was well above expectation. Thank you Michelle!
