Beautiful location, safe and cozy stay

I had a great experience here. Number one for me was safety, the whole property felt very secure and there were locks on all the internal doors too which I like. Robert introduced himself on the first day then used the app to contact me once which I appreciate as a solo female traveler.The location was very pretty, you get an ocean view from the garden and even the street is beautiful surrounded by trees. The drive down to the beach was lovely too, you get a real mountain/bush/beach combination. The bed was very comfortable, shower was great and the aircon kept the space nice and warm. The host obviously put effort into including everything you could need. Washing liquid, cleaning supplies, high quality linens and beautiful cutlery and crockery. I really appreciated the guest book that had info on local things to see and do. The TVs had every type of streaming service I could think of. The check in process was seamless but admittedly I struggled to find checkout info so I wasn’t sure if I did that right. In terms of cleanliness, I would probably give it a 4.5 out of 5, as there were somethings like the inside shelves of the fridge and the door inside the microwave that I cleaned before using but I’m very particular. The most important stuff for me was the bed linens and bathroom which were spotless. The photos and description on the listing were very accurate, heaps of parking and easy to get to. I stayed for 12 days and had no issues, I would definitely recommend.
