What a wonderful place to stay! Where do I begin...
The rental process was seamless and instructions were immediately given. Communication was great. Arriving at the home was easy, however, we did rent a full-size SUV and navigating the hilly, windy, hairpin turns was a bit daunting with our late night arrival. Thankfully there was a large driveway for us to pull into. Once we got our bearings the following day, it was much easier. Getting into the home was a breeze. And taking you bags through the garage directly to the bedrooms saves from having to haul them down the stairs.
Once inside, we were very pleasantly surprised. The pictures do not do justice. The home is beautiful and very clean and comfortable. The view is gorgeous and we took advantage of the BBQ and lovely outdoor table. multiple times. Nothing about this home says it is a rental. You feel as if you are staying with friends. The living room, dining room, and kitchen are on the top level. The bedrooms and bathrooms are on the next level down. The views from the front bedrooms is beautiful and you can leave your windows open to catch the cool breeze. The beds and bedding are very comfortable as are the towels. Everything was so clean...did I already say that?? Can't say it enough. As people that travel, a clean place to stay is our top priority.
The only slight hiccup we had was that the pilot had gone out on the fireplace and we could not get it to re-light. They have had an unseasonably warm summer and it was turned off at some point, no fault of theirs. We just happened to have a chilly day and, being from Arizona, could not wait to have a fire to enjoy. They came right over, while we were out for the day, and got it lit for us so we could enjoy a lovely evening. We did hear the people below us having a party one night but it did not last long and we were so tired from exploring that it was no big deal. However, if you are looking for complete silence, just realize that someone is below you.
The beach below is fantastic for Sea Glass if you are a collector as I am. We can't thank Laura and Joe enough for providing their lovely home to AirBNB. It was a wonderful place to stay and we cannot wait to go back! :)
