This was the best hosted experience I've had in 6+ years using services like this -- THANK YOU JAVIER!
My boyfriend and I had the best 4 day getaway, paradise for us living in the Ohio cold! The experience was so novel and whimsy, we were so glad we did this over a hotel or house rental.
Hidden perks like a hatch in the bedroom that you can lift for a beautiful view of the moon added a nice romantic touch. AND the privacy and convenience to be able to wake up and immediately be out in the sun in our bathing suits, eating breakfast on the top deck (and play music with no worries - only super friendly neighbors doing the same)... awesome!
The kayaks honestly made our trip. Both agreed that was one of the most peaceful and gorgeous floats we've had thanks to the awesome isle this is located in. The bikes were also a huge perk and helped us get around / sight-see without racking tons in rideshare expense (plus Ft Lauderdale has a 'Circut' service for free, look into that visitors!)
As far as internal features, the AC was KICKIN, water was warm, and kitchen appliances reliable and able to do everything we needed. We had zero issues other than some spotty wifi, but thats to be expected on vacation + gives the secret blessing of presence & connection > staring at a screen :) we pulled up some downloaded movies on my laptop, no big.
Overall this unique stay encouraged us out of our comfort zone and got us more outdoors/active than a typical beach vacation, which we LOVED. These unique memories will last a lifetime!
Ahead of checkin, Javier provided ample instruction, detail, and photos to make my arrival as smooth as possible. He even did a few things to be extra courteous due to our night time arrival.
Throughout, he was there every step of the way; providing recommendations for local food, drinks, and experiences. Very responsive and helpful, he went above and beyond -- without the micro-managing I've experienced with some high-rated hosts. He had trust and ease toward us, allowing us to relax and have the best time ever.
Thanks for making this such an easy and forever memorable trip!
