From the time of booking, communication with the host was prompt. Like anyone, I read reviews thoroughly before deciding to book. The reviews are spot on! Upon arrival, we were greeted with a welcoming note, a lamp aglow, the ceiling fan whirling, and a bottle of vino! How did they know we prefer red? :) Our first impressions - clean, homey, welcoming, and charming. We felt at home IMMEDIATELY! The host has gone above and beyond to provide the comforts of home....the bath linens are lux, the bed linens and pillows are wonderful, and they provide EVERYTHING - dish soap, hand soap, laundry soap, beach chairs, beach towels, bikes, helmets....I could go on. The pool is across from the home, which was convenient for our two little grandchildren. We hope to stay again!!! Thank you for a great stay!!!
