This is a diamond find. Of all the great places I’ve stayed through airbnb, The Hideout, stood out. It goes beyond being clean, new, loaded with amenities, comfortable, private and well run. What makes it unique are the hosts whom you may never meet unless you choose too, but they are seen in all the details. The amount of thought they put in to addressing any need that may arise is meticulous. The experience was so smooth, user friendly, (the remotes for the practical lights inside which highlight all areas of the space, to the twinkly ones outside on the well manicured, peaceful patio...all in reach from your bedside. It was also caring..the “oops” basket with array of personal items..nail file, deodorant etc.. that you may have forgotten to bring, the thorough first kit to be sure you were covered, the umbrella placed by the door where you’d reach for it, and on and on..
The Hideout was designed with the fresh, newness of a nice hotel but with the familiar personal touches of a home, made with heart. Plus It posses this fun quality of a tricked out tree house or man cave yet styled like a beach home. The neighborhood is beautiful. It’s elevated and the views of the ocean and canyons are memorable.
Michelle and Daniel worked hard at getting the space ready early, accommodating my special request. They didn’t need to do that. I also began my stay at the start of the covid-19 spread. During an unsettling time, I was so comforted when I arrived and it was obvious that they cleaned thoroughly and with care. These strangers gave my baby and I a refuge, a place that felt safe when nowhere seemed too. They continued to put our well being ahead of just a business transaction and stood out as the wonderful human beings that they are.
They went above and beyond offering support, security and comfort..re-ups on linens or supplies, trips to Costco, all the while rarely ever seeing them and never feeling bothered. My experience was very private, just how I prefer it. My 2 year old son played in the yard and inside without lacking for space at all. The property feels much larger than the photos. We rode bikes in the neighborhood. We felt very at home and rarely needed anything because the Hideout set us up so well.
