I highly recommend The 3 Dux! In the Papa suite, we spent each morning enjoying our gourmet coffee provided by the host (with a wide selection of creamers) on the balcony, watching the sun rise against the mountains. At night we loved the fire and being so close to restaurants and wine tasting. The location is perfect - close enough to take a run on the bike path along the beach and enjoy great people-watching on State Street, but then retire to a quiet oasis for the night. The bedding was very comfortable. The host was even kind enough to mail us some items we forgot when we left. Thank you! We will definitely stay here again!

Mama Dux is great.
This is a wonderful place to stay. One block off of State St., perfect location. Even being so central the unit is extremely private, with both a nice deck and a separate patio with table and BBQ in a pretty garden. The inside is very pretty, lots of nice art and appointments. VERY clean. Good bed, nice shower, great kitchen. Of the many Air B and Bs I have stayed in, this ranks in the top 10. The owners are very communicative and great with follow up, all by text and email. A great find!!!!

the sweet spot
Our stay at the 3 Dux was wonderful. Located just steps away from the funk zone, state street and the beach, we did not move the car the whole stay. The apartment was clean spacious and the well appointed deck had a beautiful view of the mountains at sunset. We hope we are able to stay with you again!
