We had a wonderful, stay despite some initial snafus. The owners responded quickly to our concerns and the issues were resolved to our satisfaction. The location was wonderful and the unit itself was very spacious and beautiful. We had everything we needed for our stay. We would gladly stay here again and really appreciated the attentiveness of the owners.

Quite quaint
This space is just as advertised- roomy, clean, and comfy. The two bedrooms are spacious and the beds were very comfortable. Even though this unit is not on the coast line it’s in a very convenient location and we did get great sunsets out the big windows. The host, Sharon, was responsive and I would definitely stay there again.
