A cut above your standard stay
I've stayed at a lot of rentals and hotels through the years and this place had some of the best linens and sleeping arrangements of them all. It has a super comfortable memory foam bed, high quality sheets and bedding, and great bathroom towels - the thick, soft and luxurious kind that you don't normally see in a rental, not even a hotel like the Ritz. Stuff like this really shows care for the guests and my wife and I very much appreciated it. Also, the kitchen was very well stocked with pots, pans, kitchen utensils, a blender and two coffee machines, a Keurig and regular coffee maker. (If only it had a Nespresso!) For 11 nights as part of a work trip, we spent a lot of time in the house and having a well stocked kitchen made us feel very at home. The work desk was great for me and location is also great for access to the beach. Our only small disappointment was the fact that all the windows at the rear of the house are frosted. The frosting still allows some diffused light in, but it prevents you from seeing the rear of the property and created a bit of a closed in or almost claustrophobic feel for us, especially in the kitchen. It's not a big deal, but something I think the hosts should reconsider and change. The hosts are very responsive and this place is definitely deserving of 5 stars.
