Paradise Found!
Review Submitted: October 11, 2009
Date of Stay: September 2009
My friend and I were fortunate enough to spend a week here. I don't think 2 people could have had higher hopes for the perfect vacation and we were not disappointed. The hosts, Pa and Kent, live next door so Kent was there to meet us as soon as we arrived ( don't worry about privacy, they never came over unless called and the backyard is totally secluded). He gave us a tour of the house. I was impressed to find it well supplied. Seriously, don't shop until you see it. Some of the things we found- shampoo, conditioners, soaps at each sink, toilet paper, paper towels, tissues, garbage bags, cleaning and dishwashing supplies, cooking spray, spices, brownie mix, microwave popcorn, ice cream bars, basic condiments, garlic bread,and even a few sodas and beers. Although none of this is guarenteed I am confident you will find a lot of the same. I am sure this saved us at least $50. Although we had had plans to eat out most meals and knew the online menus by heart we only ate dinner out once. The kitchen ( which the pictures don't do justice to- it is huge) was stocked with everything we needed . The grill was clean and easy to use. Kent oriented us on how to work everything . There was a roomy garage to park with remote so we never even used the front door . The house itself is absolutely meticulous. Every first paper towel, kleenex and toilet paper were even folded into a nice triangle like you find in only the nicest of hotels. The MBR has private bath with large walk in shower. Both of the larger bedrooms had sliders opening to the pool. The entire back of the house is basically all glass and sliders looking out onto the highlight of the house-- the gorgeous pool. There is a waterfall and a built in bench most of the way around the pool. Beautiful automatic landscape and pool lighting. Outdoor shower. Plenty of pool toys, floats, a pump, coolers , beach chairs, and a few fishing rods. I have stayed in many rentals including 3 others on the island,and most do what they need to to "get by", this house was totally different. Every extra detail was thought of. Where one house might have a table to eat on by the pool, this one had a table with umbrella and LED lights around the umbrella pole. Where one has mismatched leftover linens this one had top of the line all matching. In other houses I have felt like everything was a garage sale find but this is so obviously not the case here. They go beyond the extra mile. Worth every penny.
