Great Price. Close to groceries and shopping. The unit is small but has everything you may need to be self sufficient. The Queen bed was very comfortable.The water pressure in the unit was excellent. The shower was very good. The kitchen is compact but has everything to make a meal. All in all it was cute and comfortable.

Lovely!

Great property! Comfortable and great location. Some issues with the check in process as the booking was not the same on my VRBO as theirs so I would recommend reaching out the night before or the morning of check in. Also no check out instructions so hopefully I followed the rules:))
