Alberte and Germain were exceptional hosts, and the property was absolutely delightful.
Our hosts went to great lengths to make us feel welcome. For example, when we arrived earlier than intended, and asked if we might be able to leave our luggage until the previous renter checked out, they suggested leaving the luggage at their personal home. Since they'd established good communications with us in advance via both VRBO and WhatsApp, this was straightforward, and very much appreciated. We were expecting a message to come get our luggage at check-in time, but were pleasantly surprised when they let us know the property was ready - and that our luggage was already there waiting for us.
When we checked in, our hosts welcomed us with ti punches, appetizers, and a lovely chicken curry dinner - all completely unexpected and very welcome.
The property itself is a delight as well - the view is spectacular. The porch quickly became the center of activity, and the motorized shades were extremely useful in keeping the place cool. The loft is quirky and fun, and the porch hammock as well. And the kitchen was stocked well enough with tools (we provided the ingredients) that we were able to cook several meals there, something not always possible with rentals.
I will miss the lazy afternoons in the hammock, ti punch in hand, watching the storms march across the bay.
