One of the best stays ever. Not only was the property beautiful, spacious, big kitchen, gorgeous bedrooms with plenty of ventilation and sunlight, access to outdoor gardens, but Jim had tiny details printed out at all key locations inside the house saving the guests from trying to “find” answers. I appreciated those details the most. Everything was excellent about the property and we’d love to revisit next time!

The location is near to a small beach & restaurants. The beds are comfortable. The kitchen has a variety of seasoning & utensils. We enjoyed sitting outside on the porch with a view of the ocean, above nearby rooftops. There was good cross-ventilation & ceiling fans, which was helpful since there is not A/C here. Jim was helpful & easy to communicate with as needed.

Our host was excellent and easy to get in touch with. He was also great at helping us decide what things to see and where to go. The apartment was lovely and comfortable. It had everything we needed for our two week stay. He provided off-street parking as well. The grounds around his house were fabulous and we loved sitting on the lanai and watching the Pacific Ocean. We also loved the hot-tub and the outdoor shower.
