So many positives about Rubia‘s place. The backyard oasis was amazing. We grilled out, hung out in the pool, sat under the Umbrella. We were a bit worried about location at first, but we had no issues whatsoever. We had less than 20 minutes to beach, Publix and liquor store just a mile down the street. Grilling out was easy and enjoyable. Restaurants are plentiful in south Florida.
Beds were comfy. Rooms were a fine size for our group. I think adding a 3rd bathroom in the laundry room would put this place over the top, and yield a better ROI. We had three adults and 5 teenage kids, and a third bathroom would have been appreciated but we made it work. This is an older home but Rubia has turned it into a lovely updated Airbnb.
We had what we needed to get through our week. I think a few upgraded items would benefit all, but would not keep us from staying again. We ate breakfast in the house everyday, packed lunches and spent most of the days at the beach. We did stay jn a few days and loved having burgers on the grill and drinks by the pool. It was warm and lovely in March for us.
The cost was most likely in line for spring break (supply and demand definitely drive prices up). The value wasn’t as great as some other newer modern places we have stayed, but again we traveled a high peak season/spring break.
Overall, we enjoyed our trip and took full advantage of having more room to maneuver and our own private pool. We know that we would have paid the same to stay in a hotel and been packed into smaller rooms, not had the luxury of breakfast at home or grilling out, and would have shared amenities with hundreds of people.
Rubia was quick to respond when we needed her, but really had no cause to message her other than asking to drop our bags early—because everything was set in place. Communication is as great and she was a lovely hostess. Thank you for some special time with our kiddos we will never forget.
