Beautiful house, lots of places and nooks to sit and enjoy. Great ammenities, very cozy, well stocked. A short walk to the beach to enjoy sunrises..A short walk to city center, friendly people, great art scene. We loved our stay and would love to come again.
3.5/5 The house and property was great. There was a heating issue the host had some difficulty solving in a timely manner (one night with no heat in the upstairs, but heat was able to travel upward from the main floor). Host was professional and pleasant in their communication, and the house was otherwise a beautiful location to spend a Christmas vacation with family!
