Laughing Buddha's New Home

Pros: The property is amazing, inside everything is available from shampoo, shower gel to proper tea and coffee. The television is huge with all streaming services available, a massive bed which is so comfy! Jason the host is a great guy , though I only met him once face to face , since we have become telephone friends ! Really good person and really cares for his guests ! Thank you Jason !

Cons: Nothing not to like , but one thing the shower pressure needs looking at , but it was still ok.

Perfect beach and pool getaway

Pros: Amazing location with plenty of wonderful Amenities

Pros: It was very private and very comfortable. In a nice area. Super close to the beach, shopping, and highway.

Beautiful beach getaway with a big pool!

Pros: Adorable home, pool with a lot of pool toys and equipment, comfy bed, huge tv, great setup! They even placed a bucket of champagne out for our anniversary:) Would definitely visit again!

We will be back.

Pros: It's very private, well done, and pretty. The staff made us feel very welcome, and gave us a special greeting for our anniversary.

Cons: No kitchen sink, or stove, so are limited to the food you can have there. And, there needed to be some curtain options for a couple windows.

Great for a weekend getaway for couples! Host is very responsive and accommodating! Would stay again!

Pros: Awesome location! Walking distance to everything. Home is cozy and the pool was a wonderful amenity.

Cons: N/A

Overall it was great, especially if you have a small dog and your own car

Pros: The outdoor area was huge. Very dog friendly, with a turf area and a poop bag dispenser, that was a nice touch. Private driveway was nice too - I wish the door locked but that’s ok, the area seems safe. We didn’t use the pool or the grill but it’s awesome they were there. Very friendly host, communicative and helpful. Nothing is really walkable but I had my car so it was perfect, everything was 30 minutes away max

Cons: The sunlight shines through the windows right into the bed. The air conditioning unit seemed to not work well by the end of the stay. Maybe we overworked it because we left it on for the dogs when we went out, but we relied on the fans for the last night or two.

Wonderful hosts. Great location and vibe. Had a peaceful stay.

Pros: Excellent communication with the host. Private pool and safe carspace.

Cons: No kitchen sink or oven for cooking and dishwashing. Toaster, Keurig, Microwave and fridge provided, though.

Pros: The backyard was amazing! Cozy, private, pool, fun ambiance.

Pros: Unique property, private, and liked being part of the neighborhood. So cozy! Jason is an exceptional host, super responsive. And did I mention the great value. Such a fun stay!
