Cute, cozy art deco style home. Master bed so comfortable but the double under the bunk, not so much. If the couch is a Kick Klack we couldn't figure it out...but got in late. Thanks for the coffee.

Cancelled last minute
They cancelled on us last minute and didn’t return any of the funds including the fx change. Please get this dealt with asap and quit sending how was your stay emails as we didn’t stay there.
The living room in this townhouse was very roomy for our family of five. I loved the decor. Our kids enjoyed playing in the big front yard. The bathroom was tiny, but we were only there one night. We followed the owner’s directions for trying to keep the house cool, but by bedtime it was still miserably hot. It was difficult to fall asleep, even with the small fans in each room. I’d suggest bringing your own fans for the bedrooms if you’re visiting in the warmer months.

Location Perfect!
We stayed during the end of July so we could spend the week at silverwood without kids. It was a perfect distance away. We also spent a couple evenings at the beach close to the house. The location is perfect. Can hear a bit of noise from the joining side but we were out all day most of the days. Also close to the natural food markets and Costco.
Property was very nice and host accommodations were great. Close by the 4th of July festivities, walking distance to restaurants and downtown.

Close to all the action
Great location, close to downtown and the beach. Andrew is so kind and great with communicating.
House is cute. It’s small and basic inside,
it was nice to be able to laundry while staying at the house.
With the summer being exceptionally hot it was hard to keep the place cool even with all the windows and coverings closed. We made do, but would recommend more fans to keep the air moving as the only air conditioner is a window unit in the living room.,

Not What Was Expected
This property was not advertised as a duplex when I reserved it months ago, so it was a shock to pull up to see you are "on the left side". There does look like there are some improvements going on with landscaping and painting.
First impression, it smelled like chemicals. It was so stuffy inside even when greeted with the air conditioner on. The rooms are tiny....and the furniture was college apartment/thrift store find looking. We found that our sheets did not appear clean, but we did find other sheets to change them. I did contact the owner and he responded quickly saying he hires professional cleaners that also clean million dollar homes...well, they forgot to actually clean this duplex. The floor turned all of our feet and/or socks black, and the vents were so full of dust. The bathroom floor mats looked like they were just shook out and put back down. There was hair stuck to the walls of the shower and wall behind the door. The shower was plugged and retained water when you showered and that was after you struggled to turn the water on. The faucet was so loose that you had to hold tight and pull straight out to turn the water on. The kitchen was stocked with basics, but are so worn and used. Also, we were shocked to discover that the windows were not locked when we put the fans in the second night. We went a whole day with our stuff in the duplex with unlocked windows.
There is no way it should be advertised that 7 adults could fit or sleep in this duplex comfortably. I have teenage kids and it was a struggle. We ended up leaving a day early.

Ants Everywhere
We didn’t realize the house was a duplex. The unit we stayed in changed from the original rental agreement. The owner gave us the wrong code and didn’t respond until I called an texted both numbers provided. The house was surrounded by carpenter ants with some inside. One was crawling on my husband while he slept. The house couldn’t be secured with the AC on so we were forced to turn it off each time we left. The furniture was like a college apartment and very uncomfortable. The kitchenware looked like it was from a thrift shop. The washer and dryer were very grimy. The soap dish in the tub had old soap stuck to it, the towels had crusty substance that didn’t come off, and the shower curtain liner was covered with mildew causing the bathroom to have a horrible smell. They only provided 1.5 rolls of toilet paper and one roll of paper towels for a week stay. The listing says it can sleep 7, but that requires someone to sleep on a very hard futon. The backyard was very uninviting. There was an old boat and about 15+ bikes taking up two of the parking spaces. No comfortable place to sit outside. The BBQ was old and rusted so much that the flame wasn’t distributed evenly making it difficult to use. They said kayaks would be available, but we had to request them several times, finally showing up on the 3rd day. And weren’t comfortable using them so ended up renting in town. The inside had some renovation but mostly low quality finishes. The location was okay in relation to downtown.

Good Location
We stayed at this property (left side) with 3 children and 2 adults. The kitchen had the basics (hand wash dishes, adequate cleaning supplies). The futon in the living room is more college level than premier (picture 12 is accurate). Not all of the pictures posted are of the left side of the property (right side pictures are the first ones posted and looks like the more updated side). I would say 3 kids/2 adults is about the max for left side, small round dining room table can sit 4. Also to clarify the bed arrangement, the one bedroom has a queen, the living room has the queen size futon, and the 2nd bedroom has a bunkbed with a full below and twin above. The house exterior has recently been painted blue (kids like it) and the landscaping is a work in progress at the time we were there. We didn't find games/video library mentioned. As another review noted, it is a split house with relatively thin walls (could hear conversations from other side, but similar to being in an older hotel). On the positive side, it is a nice location, affordable, quiet neighborhood, clean, good wifi and air conditioning unit definitely cooled the property.

Decent for the price
While the price was ok, it was not suited for 6 Adults. I am sure a family with small kids would have been great! But its small and not much room to spread out for 6 adults. The bikes we planned on using were old and unusable and we never saw a Kyak. The unit next to us was rented to College vacationers that partied hard till early morning 2 of our nights, other than that the property is very quiet and cute.
Side Note: The blanket that was out for the futon smelled old and unwashed and no sheets for it, so plan to bring your own.

A work in progress
First impression re the interior: Small but cute, retro décor befitting the architecture
Was clean
Furniture was good but would be nice to have had a small dresser & mirror in the bunk room, a night stand on both sides of the bed in single bedroom & there were no hangers in the closet – we left a few for the next renter
AC units in bedrooms worked great with bonus of white noise to soften the traffic sounds
Beds were comfortable & adequate bedding was provided
Extra towels & soaps were provided however we stayed a week & were provided less than half of a roll of toilet paper & no extra rolls were in the cabinet, if not included, renters should be advised.
Sheer curtains in Livingroom no privacy at night.
Good amount of kitchen basics like coffee maker & utensils – chip clips would be a great addition, also we had to buy coffee filters as none were provided
Door for the single bedroom does not latch closed and the threshold was not attached to the floor
TV worked fine, access to local news would have been nice – if already available, maybe instructions. WiFi worked great
First Impression re the exterior: Disappointed
No parking provided except on street
Must step over in progress landscape project to enter. Back alley camper/boat storage & old rustic picnic table, made using outside space undesirable & unsafe for children
Bottom line, it’s a fine budget option & we are grateful to have found it when our vacation dates changed at the last minute but next year, we will likely not rebook this property if another, more finished property with better amenities like off street parking and a comfortable, inviting outdoor space is available.

Uncomfortable
Stayed in the left side unit. Pleasantly surprised we did not find any mouse droppings even with the 1/2 inch gap at the front entrance and 1-4 inch gaps in the windows. Floor was warped at the front door from water coming in under the gap & extensive water damage to the bottom of the door). Air conditioning was from 2 small window units that were very old. The one in the spare bedroom made a constant electrical popping noise. The cardboard piece to seal up the rest of the vertical window gap was about 4" too short so we improvised and added our own piece. We would have just turned them off while we slept but it took all night to cool off the house with them running constant 24hrs. (Or maybe it was because the outside temp dropped from high 90's down to upper 50's). A 4 x 3 foot section of ceiling in spare room had water damage that looked like it was patched (maybe in the late 70's, & 80's, & 90's) but sinking badly and looked like it was going to fall in on the top bunk bed if touched. Master Bed sinks in the middle terribly. Sheets/blankets smelled like they were not washed. (I'm sure it was just an oversight as the owners ask "that guests not strip the beds because it confuses the cleaners"?!) Bunk beds in the spare room had very thin futon mattresses and could see & feel every bar strait through. The pull out futon in the living room was the same way. We are used to roughing-it and camping so sleeping on the ground was tempting except removing ourselves from the floor in the morning would have been a challenge as the floors were sticky dirty throughout and standing in one area shoe less for more than a second required a little more effort to remove your foot as it felt like you were melting into it. Shower curtain, window & ceiling was moldy. Toilet seat finish was worn through and looked dirty but felt clean. The unraveling lawn chair in the living room & Goodwill tags/stickers on the furniture throughout the house were a lovely touch. It was lucky we didn't need to spend any real time here as there was not enough seating for our family of 7 and the advertised washer and dryer must have been in the basement in the employee only area. On the plus side, this adventure really made our children appreciate our own tiny home even more.
