About the host
Hosted by jonathan
Hello, and thank you for visiting our home today! We would like to take a moment to share our story with you about how we came to offer you an exceptional stay and provide you and your family everything we believe would make your stay very pleasurable, memorable and confident you will come back. Probably like you, we have travelled to many places and stayed in many Airbnb’s. Along the Airbnb journey, we always said, “if I ever owned an Airbnb, I would have this or that available to guests…or add this as a convenience or I definitely would not do that…etc.” In Fact, 90% of the homes we stayed at, the information that was described in the listing was…let’s just say not entirely accurate or we should have been given more information before we committed. For example, we booked a place in New Orleans and quickly found out that we were staying in a very bad and unsafe neighborhood and had to find another place to stay the same night we arrived! On another trip, we stayed in the coffee capital of the world, Colombia…and the hosts did not even have coffee or even maker in the house! We visited San Juan Puerto Rico and the shower was so small I had to crouch underneath the shower head just to get wet. (I’m only 5’10”) Could you imagine staying at an Airbnb and there wasn’t even a bottle of water available upon arrival? I think you would agree that there are few things worse than having your expectations high then getting disappointed by bad or deceptive information. Our promise to you is simple. Everything we write, the pictures we take and the information we provide are 100% accurate and true. In other words, what you see is what you get…and more!
Please, take a moment and read about our home, it’s features, attractions and location and be confident and rest assured that you made the right decision to book with us! Feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns you may have. All the best! Your grateful Host, Jonathan

Why they chose this property
My personal "must haves, and non negotiables" of owning a home as an Airbnb were to be as close to the beach as possible (less than 5 minutes), minimum of 3 bedroom, 2 bathrooms and a pool. Our home had to be as comfortable as possible, it had to be exactly as if I were staying there. Privacy was mandatory. With the high palm trees and bushes, you get all the privacy you need. Excellent restaurants, adult and kids activities and night life. Check, check and check!
What makes this property unique
Our property is Exactly as described...but better! We renevated our home only using high-end materials, appliances, furniture, mattresses, linnens and much more! Nothing sacraficed here.
