I travel often and have always opted for large hotels as my expectations are always high and I did not know what to expect from staying in someone's private home. This was my first Airbnb vacation and this stay has changed the way I will travel going forward.
Arriving to this newly renovated house was a treat. The host was friendly and very accommodating. Everything from floors to furniture are brand new and well designed. It is a large 3 BR house with a great open flow from room to room. The tropical plants surrounding the new private pool is viewable from the living room, so it in a way it brings the outdoors inside. The grassy yard includes, lounge chairs, beach towels and a gorgeous water jetted outdoor shower which is a mini-vacation on it's own.
Everything inside was as shown in photos and as described, basically having everything and more that one would need for a great, relaxing get-a-way. The one block walk to the shopping area with restaurants and bars is a nice benefit as well. A short drive to the beach is just another reason to stay here. What more can I ask for?
Goodbye hotels; this house exceeded my expectations with much more space and benefits (like a full kitchen) than a hotel can provide. I will return.
