Property was very clean and accommodating. Everything was there that was needed. Host was excellent with communication. We had a baby and a 4 yr old that visited and there was even dishware, silverware for them! What a treat.

Host was very attentive and responsive. We had an issue with the heater that was resolved with relighting the pilot light. Amenities were sufficient, would have liked a box or two of tissue and aluminum foil, Saran Wrap and some zip lock baggies. The beds extremely comfortable, linens and towels very nice. The location is excellent. Would definitely stay again. One maintenance issue: the main level toilet runs periodically.

Just the best location and host!

Can not rave about this space enough - such a quiet and cute neighborhood in the harbor. It is on a busy street but honestly we didn’t notice any traffic noise with windows shut. Walking distance from lots of great food spots too! And host was fabulous and so sweet.
