The place is very nice and super close to the bluff trail which is amazing. The location is probably the most peaceful Airbnb experience I have ever had! Everything was super clean and we even had a welcome basket full of treats when we arrived. I did feel the bed was a little firm for my taste and the fabrics of the bed felt kinda rough for what I imagined a pretty pricey Airbnb would be quality wise. Other than that it was a really nice experience. Hot tub was super nice and private and the garden outside was immaculately maintained and very diverse. We saw so many small birds flying from tree to tree when we were in the hot tub or having breakfast outside.

This was exactly what I was looking for. It was private, had lovely walks nearby, there's a farmers market nearby in Saturday, small businesses, and beach access nearby.
