Before I launch into the usual AirBnB administrivia, let me simply write that Linda's place was the best! What made it the best wasn't the accommodations themselves (they're just great), it was Linda that made the difference. I had an extended stay that I expected would be the usual renter-rentee relationship, but ended up being a friendship. Linda was a gracious host and friend throughout. My wife (who came for a visit during my stay) and I look forward to future visits with our friend, Linda.
Linda's place is great. It's clean, roomy, and looks the way it does in the photos. Linda works from home, so if you need something there's never a long wait - she's there for you. She goes out of her way to make sure you have clean linens or anything else you may need. If you stay for awhile, Linda will figure out what you like and ensure it's there in plenty. Linda is a decent cook who's happy to share a meal. On several occasions when Linda knew I would have an early departure and long day, she would pack a lunch for me. Linda's approach to hosting is pretty straightforward - she opens her home to you. It's not long until you feel like you're part of her family, though your privacy is always respected.
Linda has large dogs. They are a sweet bunch of goodie-two-shoes wiggle balls. They settle right down after the obligatory salutational commotion. I really enjoyed their greeting whenever I came home from the day's activities.
On the subject of activities, beaches, golfing, shopping and entertainment are just a short ride away. Linda will even give rides to the airport if you need them. Among other things, my wife and I went on a Segway tour of the city and went Stand Up Paddleboarding. There was so much to do!
I liked Linda and her place, and highly recommend it. How much? The simplest way to put it is this: I'm staying with Linda again!
