As a disabled veteran with a couple small dog rescues, we always leave our neighborhood during the 4th of July holiday. The similar war zone explosions are awful and our little ones tremble in terror. Because of that we leave every year in order to find peace and quiet. Normally my wife makes all the arrangements and leaves the review. In past years, I haven’t had any desire to review as I haven’t really enjoyed the stays. This year, though, we hit the jackpot. We have finally found a home away from home. As a neat freak, I found everything impeccable - military ready. And having done a lot of interior house painting, I couldn’t find any issues. It was perfect. But, not only that. It was so obvious that our host had put enormous thought into every detail in her Casita. All the drawers were labeled. She provided anything you could think of needing. Charging cables check, face wipes check, spices, nice plates, cups and cutlery. Where most places provide the bare minimum, Melodie created an oasis of generosity. Even the salt and pepper shakers were OXO. The hand soaps and shampoo/conditioners were excellent. She even provided a dog bed and a basket of dog needs like toys and a water bowl. Outside was equally neat and comfortable. The pool was warm. There were good lounge chairs and seating. The grounds were lovely. From inside it felt like being in a treehouse; from outside the views were amazing. My final thought is that we’d like to reserve for next year, please.
