Our stay was great, there were just two of us so there was more than enough room to gather as well as have our own space. The one thing I would suggest is adding black out curtain for light sleepers. The location is close to all the things yet far enough away to have peace and quiet.

We stayed for two weeks and it worked out great for us. Great location with easy access to beaches, downtown, restaurants, hiking trails, and a grocery store just a few minutes away. Patricia was very responsive and easy to communicate with. The place is comfortable and worked out well as a home base for our trip. Would stay again.

The host was amazing. The house was cute. The water was horrible tasting and stinky. Our daughter is autistic and super sensitive to smell. We ended up not even trying out the hot tub for this reason.

We are one issue away from a 4 or 5 star review. The water had an unusual aroma, especially in the kitchen sink. We know it was well water, but the odor seemed to be “stinky”.Other than that, we enjoyed our stay. The location was perfect and we spent a lot of time on the front porch. Thank you, Patricia for helping our family to enjoy time together.
