Very clean house, exactly as shown online. Great location with lots of activities and restaurants nearby. The only downside was a lack of extra blankets. Downstairs was a little chilly (even after adjusting the thermostat) so would have been nice to have a blanket or 2 while relaxing on couch. Otherwise, we loved it!

My high school friends and I like to get away and relax so that we can catch up and have a little break from the kiddos. This was a great spot where we could enjoy the bay and the beach. We didn’t have a chance to enjoy the firepit but wish we could have! Definitely recommend for a visit!

Relaxing family weekend

The host was great with communication. The house was comfortable and clean. We were in the area for a wedding at the bay club so it was nice to be close by. The area was very walkable. We walked to a farmers market on Saturday morning and to a restaurant for brunch. The neighborhood is eclectic and honestly at first glance I was concerned about safety, but we never had any problems and the people we encountered on our walks were friendly.

Great stay for a family with older kids

We visited our son in the Navy and had some friends come by too. Easy commute to the base for our son. Stairs are steep so not great if you have young kids or older people. Easy walk to the beach and several stores and restaurants nearby. Beds were comfortable and nice clean towels and bathrooms. TVs in every room. Fire pit in the yard was fun for s’mores.
