Shane was a perfect host! He made our stay feel as easy as if we were old visiting friends- maybe even more so haha! He is a great communicator, and provided thoughtful, detailed answers to my questions. He was attentive to and anticipated all of our needs, even reaching out to us to let us know about additional amenities when he found out the weather was going to be really hot while we were staying there. We felt very well cared for. His welcome package was also incredibly sweet. He even included well wishes for my dad, who the trip had been planned for! As for Shane’s home, words can barely do it justice. The home itself is even more beautiful in person than in the listing pictures. The main living space is light, airy, and incredibly spacious, yet somehow cozy and intimate at the same time. It is thoughtfully laid out, comfortably welcoming a large group. The upper and lower common areas are incredibly comfortable and accommodating too. You’ll be hard pressed to find a spot in the house you won’t enjoy! Each floor feels both connected, and at the same time, like it could be a rental unto itself. For groups that want to spend time together, but also want their own personal space, the house is perfect! But while the house itself is utterly charming, it’s the views that will take your breath away. The balcony on the first floor offers a stunning view of the harbor. We ate our dinner outside every night, enjoying the lulling sound of the waves while watching the sun set over the water. The second floor balcony has the perfect seating area for watching the sunrise, stargazing, or just lounging while taking in rays. If you’re like me and you live in a city with a ton of light pollution, be prepared to have your breath taken away as you lay out on the upstairs deck, stargazing. If you’re an early riser, you will enjoy the quiet solitude of the sunrise as you sip your coffee. I’m not a morning person, but I made the effort just to enjoy the view! The outdoor couches are so comfortable, after an evening of lounging with my family, I even thought about sleeping outside. The week we came, there was an unexpected heat wave, so we weren’t able to leave the house for long periods until the evening. I’m so glad we chose to stay at Shane’s house, because we didn’t even care that we couldn’t leave home during the day. With all of the comfort the home provided, and the unbelievable views, we still had an amazing time and got the relaxing vacation we’d been longing for. If you’re looking for the perfect vacation home, look no further. You’ve found it!
