As my more-succinct partner said: "If I could give them six stars, I would!"
This is a beautiful, stylish, IMMACULATE, tidy and well-appointed little self-sufficient place. Perfect for singles or couples. Orly is a notably thoughtful host, and has included numerous lovely touches like robes & slippers, fresh fruit, bottled water and nice quality basic bathroom supplies. The kitchenette includes small appliances and an outdoor electric grill — very workable for short- or medium-stays.
Bed is soft and wonderfully comfortable, with great fluffy pillows and nice linens (never a certainty with other AirBnBs!).
There are shops, restaurants (Shabo's had fantastic, flavorful vegetarian items if you're wondering!), bars, and a park within walking distance, yet quite far enough away to avoid nightlife noise. Lovely area: Palm trees line the avenues. The beach and boardwalk is a 30-ish minute jog or a short drive away.
The pictures are 100% accurate. The only thing not pictured is that the cabana entrance and private patio faces an alley — this is not a criticism, but just something to know. The dedicated off-street parking spot 5 feet from our door more than makes up for it! Plus they have created a park-like shared space seating area on the side of the house, with a shaded swing, picnic bench and garden. We spent several peaceful hours enjoying that area during our stay.
Ordinary neighborhood sounds and bright light also travels in easily from outside, so sensitive sleepers might want earplugs or sleep masks. We tried to likewise be responsible about our noise, and that's another thing that's just good to know.
We appreciated the ample advance information plus household/neighborhood manual in the room, so we didn't have to bother her with little questions. We were fortunate to cross paths outside the house and chat a bit but they respected our privacy completely.
I suggest this is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a calm oasis that's convenient to the airport, beach, and nearby towns, but not right in the middle of anything. Thank you Orly for a wonderful getaway!! You may see us again sometime!
