Host was very nice and welcoming! Several concerns were noted: very limited hot water for showers, guest bath fan not working, outlet behind toaster oven not working, the master bath needs a long towel rack(s), and better silverware and a pair of scissors were needed.
We had such an amazing stay at this coastal Hobe Sound home. The location truly couldn’t be better close to shops, cafés, and just a short ride to the beach. Everything felt easy, fun, and relaxing from the moment we arrived.We absolutely loved all the extras the house offered. The bikes were perfect for exploring the neighborhood and nearby restaurants, and taking the paddle boards out on the intracoastal was such a memorable experience for our family. The heated pool in the backyard was our favorite spot we spent so much time relaxing. And the fire place near the pool was amazing. All of our family could be together.Inside, the house was very warm and welcoming feel. The beds were incredibly comfortable, the linens were soft and clean, and the kitchen had everything we needed. The thoughtful welcome basket was such a sweet surprise. The host kristen was very nice and communicated quickly with any questions we had, which made the entire stay smooth and stress free.We truly loved this house, appreciated every detail, 5 stars and couldn’t have picked a better place. We can’t wait to come back! Thanks for hosting us .
