This condo was perfect for our family of 6. The set up is everything we needed for a lovely trip. Each sleeping space was thoughtfully stocked with outlets with charging ports, comfortable linens, cosy blankets, separate ac units, and white noise machines. The location was convenient. The lovely addition of snacks at checkin was truly appreciated by our teens. Parking was plentiful for our large SUV, which has been an issue at other properties. We didn’t have any issues during our stay. Our host really thought about what could be needed and stocked the condo well. Thank you for the thoughtfulness. We would definitely stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Stacey

Host profile image
I am local to the area and love it. I do not live on site but will always be available if you have questions or concerns.

Why they chose this property

The property has a lot of character and affords our guests privacy and space to stretch out a little after a busy day.

What makes this property unique

We have 3 apartments in one building for families or special get togethers where the group wants to vacation together but have their own space at the end of the day. All apartments have separate entrances.

We are close enough to downtown to walk but enough removed to get away from the busyness. We have lots of parking so that should never be an issue for our guests. Located at the base of Old Mission Peninsula for great wine tasting/site-seeing. Close to four sandy beaches (Bryant Park Beach, Senior Center Beach, Sunset Beach and Clinch Park Beach). In our renovation we have taken steps to ensure your safety on our property by installing hard-wired smoke/carbon monoxide detectors, sprinkler system and exterior security cameras. We have been inspected and comply with all local regulations.
