What a joy it was to stay at this century old Oceanview mansion with its plantation-like ground marked with tall old Redwoods, Belladonna lilies, hidden tree house, and so much more. The warmth the grounds provided the welcome mat and entry to the artful treasures we discovered throughout the house.
Although we’d read the list of features included in this extraordinary Airbnb rental, we’d not anticipated the impressiveness that we discovered. The fully stocked chef's kitchen with its Wolf stove, 3 sinks, 2 dishwashers, and most everything else you can imagine flowed into a wonderful dining area that opened to the deck that allowed us to enjoy our meals, happy hours, views of the gardens, and of course the amazing sunsets.
The bedrooms were comfortable, the sheets divine, bathrooms well keep, and creaky old stairs provided a haunting character that made us smile as we walked up them. We loved the curated décor and designer touches throughout the house, and of course, the library desires a special mention with its shelves and shelves of books, games, and even more books to delight both the young and old alike. While not lounging around the house, we enjoyed walking and biking to the nearby park, the beach, and the Boardwalk.
I definitely want to be sure to thank Joanna for her amazingly quick responses to my questions both before and during our stay. We’d definitely rebook this really special place next time in the area.
