"I loved it here. I felt like they could improve on their staff for the beach. They should wash the furniture at the end of every day to make sure it’s clean for the next days people. I also think that they should make sure that they accommodate their hotel guests to sit outside for dinner on the patio and make that a priority not just people that come in for reservations the staff by the beach that helps you set up. Your furniture does not seem real organized."

"I was greeted in the office and it was a quick check-in to get my room key. Staff was friendly. My room was clean. There was a small refrigerator for me to use. I setup my computer on the desk space and was able to work from my room. Plenty of daylight and you could open the windows for a breeze of fresh air. The shades were blackout so you could get a good nights rest. Great shower, spacious bathroom. The ocean view was amazing, as were the adorable hummingbirds that played in the palm trees right outside my balcony. Loved the balcony. I didn’t use the pool but it was very clean and there were plenty of lounge chairs surrounding it to use. Parking was available. Location was walkable to grocer, etc. and to public beach access— so you can see and do plenty without a car."

The hosts were incredibly accommodating and very quick to respond whenever we had a question, which made our stay that much more enjoyable.The oceanfront setting was absolutely amazing, and one of the unexpected highlights was getting to see dolphins and even sea otters right from the property! We definitely weren’t expecting that, and it made the experience even more memorable.We truly enjoyed our stay and really appreciated the hospitality.

"10/10 experience at this beautiful home. I can’t even express how wonderful this home is in words. There were 6 of us staying here and we fit very comfortably and Jeff was SO fast and responsive and was there to help us with everything. He is a rockstar!! I love that the home has everything you need. And if for any reason something isn’t there, Jeff can make it happen. He also graciously let us stay an additional night as there wasn’t someone booking after us and we were celebrating my bachelorette. We loved him. The water was warm and swimmable and we found so much beautiful seaglass :) …you basically have your own private beach. There’s no one else around (which I loved and wanted). My friends and I laid out on the deck(s) and spent some time in the jacuzzi too. It’s sooo relaxing!! I was also able to get a yoga session in because he had yoga mats!! That was SO nice :) Already planning my return. Thanks Jeff!!"
