Greg was very accommodating (pun intended) when we contacted him with an issue regarding the security of our bikes. He communicated well and resolved our issue quickly and effectively. The location of the apartment was fantastic, right on the waterfront and close to all amenities. The apartment had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

Perfect location with views

This is one of those genuinely great places. It is great location, easy stroll to shops and dining. Can just sit and watch the view all day. The apartment its self is very well equipped with everything you need. I contacted the owner for something when we first arrived and response was very quick which is also comforting. Overall a great stay which I would not hesitate to book again.

Amazing unit in a great location

The photos do not do this place justice. I have stayed at The Entrance a few times, this place has been by far the best. The views were breathtaking and everything you need is a short walk away. Great size bedrooms and bathroom. We spent so much time on the balcony, with unobstructed water views. We did not need to drive anywhere. Greg was very responsive and answered all questions. I am already planning my next trip here.
