The build-out is super! A really nice remodel. The bed felt like being at a spa. The shower is perfect! I loved using the changeable showerheads. Good water pressure, too! The owners were very thoughtful with extra touches, such as plenty of ice trays and a whole bag of ice in the freezer, extra fluffy towels and detergent to use in the washer and dryer! The AC worked marvelously well—a darn good thing in the 115 degrees baking heat of a Hurricane June. I think the directives in the pet policy and sign in the restroom telling me to wash my face before bed (duh) could use some toning down. Are customers that inconsiderate and ignorant? I’m not. The bossy, uptight tone of those directives contradicted the “laid-back” in the home’s name. The decor was not to my taste: to me, rusty metal bolts and junkyard parts aren’t restful items to sleep beside, and the 13 fake potted plants are inelegant —I prefer nature alive. But the house was safe, well-lit, comfortable and private. Well, private except that the supercool-looking backyard fence needs to be a couple feet taller to shield us from the newer, neighboring house’s windows. But the property is private enough for a short stay. The backyard was nicely landscaped. Add a water feature and a seating arrangement in the back half of the yard so we can escape the smell of hot trash in the trash cans near the firepit seating, and the backyard would be idyllic.
