Very cute little maritime themed apartment. Only complain is the shower door does not seal, and one of the shades is broken, a few rattly fans that need replacing. Little stuff like that...but for the price and location I'd say it was a pretty good deal.

My stay.

My stay at this property was pleasant. The neighbors were very welcoming, assisting me with enjoying my time and seeing as much as I could in the time I was in their neighborhood. The local restaurants were within walking distance and dining was well received. All in all, this was a very good trip. Would definitely recommend.

Great stay

Overall, we had a great stay! The house is on a quiet street but is still close to town. Everything worked well in the apartment except for the sliding door to the deck (it doesn’t lock). The main bed was really comfortable but the sofa bed wasn’t. We still really enjoyed the stay and would love to go back!

Decent place, good location that could use some improvements

An overall nice place in a good location. Things were a little run down: the patio door would not lock and we were not able to use the oven because it would set off the smoke alarm. Otherwise, a comfortable place to stay for the weekend.

Lovely little retreat.

This place was perfect for my little getaway. My family reunion was taking place on the island and I needed a little spot to retreat to for privacy and relaxation. It was very cute and had everything I needed.It even came with a friendly kitty who must live nearby. He was very sweet and made my whole trip. I will come back for sure!

A little dirty but great location

Overall the stay was okay. The walls have stains and dirt marks all over and there is a chair in the bedroom covered in stains which was not appealing. Something else I found unappealing was the cigarettes left out on the patio and an old hotdog we found left on one of the grills. The furniture in the living room is very uncomfortable but there are smart TVs to watch in both rooms and the WiFi works well. The kitchen is very well stocked in my opinion and the bathroom was clean. The location is excellent!

Prime location good comfort cute decor

Location is central, but not on a busy street. House is cute and interesting. The furniture was not the most comfortable. I wouldn't want to watch a whole movie from the couch. The fans in the house were broken, the shower door had been repaired in a way that prevented it from closing entirely. I think

Anniversary

Stayed for our 25th anniversary. Felt like unit was rundown. Wanted to enjoy patio but every chair was broken (bolt holding back of chair rusted out on every chair) outdoor rug was filthy and couldn’t lock sliding door (easy to jump stairs and enter property). Couch and chair in living room was so uncomfortable you couldn’t sit for more than a few minutes. Hardware on cabinets requires two screws for handle but only one used so handles moved. In bedroom there is a chair so stained and dirty it looks like it was left outside for a few months. I’m not a person who expects high end stuff from a rental but do think it should be functional and safe. Unit could be so much more enjoyable with a few upgrades and TLC

Tiny, cute, close to everything

Property could use a deep cleaning. It is obvious that it gets the basics done regularly but really could use a deep cleaning. The layout is very "cozy". The listing leads you to believe there is a sofa bed but in fact the sofa just extends to a full size futon. I asked the manager if beach towels are provided and was told "yes" only to arrive and no beach towels are provided. I also asked the manage about storing luggage after checking out and was directed to the docks where you can pay a small fee to check your bags in for the day. This was very handy as we had a full day of activities planned prior to heading back to the mainland. The balcony is a great place to hang out and enjoy the ocean breezes. I recommend this unit if you are just there for a few days and don't plan to spend much time inside. The next time I visit I will rent a unit with a golf cart.
