Seashell Escape

"Marta has been an excellent hostess!!! Whenever I had a question, she responded in a timely fashion. She has a beautiful and naturally well lit condo on the second floor close to the elevator. There were carts for hauling luggage which saved me a LOT of trips to the vehicle. A welcoming front entry with a sitting area is perfect to get organized as we prepared to go out or return each day. The kitchen is well furnished, and the fridge had farm fresh eggs along with a variety of cold drinks for our enjoyment after our long car trip. The back balcony has an excellent view and proved to be a wonderful place for us to relax. (There are little lights in the fishnet for added evening ambiance.) EVERYTHING is beautifully decorated! We couldn’t help but show it off to other family members who were renting a house nearby. They all loved it! We were Marta’s first guests. When I first saw the pictures of the remodel, I was a bit anxious taking my grandsons (22 months and 5 months.) However, there were safety plugs in the outlets, the cords to the blinds were out of reach, fragile items were put up (per request), and a deluxe play yard and bed rail were provided for our use. The highchair had not yet arrived. Even though we didn’t have the opportunity to use them, there were several games provided along with a large screen TV that had Netflix on it. We did enjoy the beach with the sand toys that were provided, and the boys loved their time at the pool. Afterward, it was great to have a clothesline hung on the back deck with clothespins for hanging our wet items. I’ve never slept on a memory foam mattress, but that was the best sleep I think I’ve gotten in a long time. The daybed and master bed both were as comfortable as we've ever experienced. I assume the trundle was also the same type of mattress. My daughter also commented several times on how well she'd slept. We had to ask where we could get some. I will probably be investing in a mattress or two of my own! (Thanks, Marta :-)) This rental was tastefully furnished. You can tell the owner really takes pride in and cares about her home as well as her guests. We lacked for nothing. There was a shampoo/conditioner/body soap dispenser in the shower. The kitchen had hand soap and dish detergent provided along with extra garbage bags, coffee, spices, plenty of utensils, dishes, and cookware. There is an ice-maker in the freezer and water filter on the refrigerator. Our hostess had thoughtfully provided undyed and unscented laundry detergent knowing we had babies. In addition, there was an aromatherapy diffuser kit in the bathroom, a wonderful added touch. A drawer had a few first-aid items like band-aids, scissors, q-tips, floss, and a small tube of toothpaste, while some toothbrushes were provided in case...
