The house is immaculately decorated, and stocked with everything you might need for an awesome stay, and more - lots of nice little touches that put this Airbnb well above and beyond. My friends and I all agreed we’d give this stay 6 stars if we could.”

“This place is amazing and so is the host. The photos in this listing are just a hint. They don’t fill enough of your field of vision to capture the peace and majesty of the sea, the shore, the town below, the city beyond, and the hummingbirds zipping around. Eric was always on hand to answer questions and provided kind, thoughtful, and quick responses. The interaction and engagement of land and sea, nature and civilization, comfort and design all converge at this location to provide the best possible setting to relax, to celebrate, or to bond with one another. I cannot recommend this property enough.”

“Eric is a fantastic host and his house is wonderful. We stayed there for a 48 hr business offsite planning session and it was incredibly productive. The perfect quick city getaway. Highlands is a quirky town on the coast and the house has amazing views out over the bay and towards the city. Eric was very communicative and helpful. His attention to detail made us feel very welcome indeed! Thank you”
