Spacious Coastal Retreat near the Harbor/Beaches

JennyRating, 5 stars2 months ago

We had a really lovely time staying here. This home has very nice open layout with lots of windows and beautifully decorated. It was peaceful, quiet and only a 5 block walk down the hill to restaurants. The downstairs bedroom was really private and like a suite with a walk in closet, it's own living room and 2 bathrooms. Two couples or 2 sets of guests have nice privacy since the 2 bedrooms are on different floors. The outdoor jacuzzi was a nice plus, as was the small unit in the backyard with yoga mats and a sofa - i did my pilates there every morning. The was initially an issue with the jacuzzi but the host was extremely quick to respond and to get it addressed. We really appreciated their responsiveness. I'm an airbnb homeowner myself so I know sometimes things don't always work even with best laid plans and regular maintenance!

Bright, Light & Ocean Views Apt

HeatherRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

I could live here! The place was sunny, comfortable, adorably decorated, felt spacious, extremely soft sheets, pillows, mattress, and perfect size for the 2 of us. I wish I could have stayed longer! Oh, that reminds me - I asked for a late checkout so I could and they let me stay until 5pm. It was greatly appreciated and wonderful!

A charming single-story home is set within a lush green landscape. The inviting porch features comfortable seating and is flanked by well-maintained shrubbery. Tall trees provide shade, and the sunny blue sky complements the home's exterior.

New Themed Coastal 4Bed w/ Pool/Arcades/Foosball

ManorRating, 5 stars2 days ago

This place was phenomenal. It was a last minute booking and a bit outside our desired city where we came for our niece’s graduation, but besides that, this Airbnb was very accommodating. I want to extend a big thank you to the host for helping us make a last minute adjustment when I accidentally booked for the wrong date. Overall, the Airbnb matched the description and photos. The only slight downside, I would say, is that the beach isn’t as close walking distance as I had imagined.

New- Stunning Oceanfront "Pelican Bluffs"

SoniaRating, 5 starstoday

We absolutely loved our stay at Katia’s house! The home is beautiful, with stunning ocean views, spotless cleanliness, and a warm, comfortable feel enhanced by aesthetically pleasing decor. The beds were perfect, with excellent blankets, linens, and towels, and the showers were fantastic. Every room had its own heater, which was great. The kitchen was both beautiful and well-equipped, with thoughtful treats waiting for us. The location was ideal, and the local information Katia provided helped us make the most of our time out and about. The backyard fire pit looked amazing—unfortunately, we couldn’t use it due to the weather, but we hope to experience it on a future visit! We truly appreciated Katia’s attention to detail, her thoughtfulness, and the care she put into ensuring every need was met. Our stay was incredibly relaxing, enjoyable, and comfortable. We felt lucky to have booked her place, were sad to leave, and would absolutely love to return!
