We celebrated our anniversary in GH. This was a great little house and location was perfect near the water and close to restaurants and shops which we walked to. We had our dog and we enjoyed the outdoor sitting area. The king bed was a little uncomfortable for our liking and it was a bit of a challenge in the night with bathroom on lower level for us older folks navigating the small stairs. All in all highly recommend for couples with dogs or small family.

Short vacation

The location was perfect for walking or biking. It was a busy street and noisy during the day, but ok at night. We enjoyed the back patio. The kitchen and bathroom were well equipped with everything we needed. Driveway was narrow and sometimes hard to get in and out due to traffic. We enjoyed our stay and the convenience of the house.

Excellent Location

Perfect location with easy access to downtown. We enjoyed using the bikes provided by the property owner to bike downtown to shops and restaurants. Beaches are a short 10 minute drive. Backyard of this property is a real asset- space for kids to run. Property owner was easy to communicate with, property was accurately described online.

Great location!

You couldn’t pick a more convenient location! Close to shops, beach, musical fountain, everything we wanted to hit. With that comes the busy street it’s on which was not ideal for noise or privacy. Place itself was clean, comfortable and had a lot of perks like smart tv’s, grill, outdoor area etc. to enjoy. Great appliances throughout which was handy. Thanks for hosting us!

25th anniversary weekend

The house was a great location to downtown. We had great weather for November to explore the beautiful sunsets on the boardwalk and relax with the fireplace. House was clean and well stocked kitchen. A book with information about local restaurants and wi fi network would be good so not to have to bother anyone. Extra towels on site would be good . It is a great house for two.

The property has a great location and was very clean, only downside was no air conditioner upstairs. There was a fan in one bedroom that kept it cool to sleep, but not the other. Bring a fan and enjoy this great place!

Weekend getaway

We enjoyed everything about our stay. The house is in the perfect location. We parked our car on Friday and didn’t get back in until we left on Sunday. There’s easy access to the bike trail behind the house. It was about a 1/2 hour walk to the beach and just minutes from downtown. The house was very clean. She has a lot of extra “just in case” items like a baby gate and high chair, extra patio chairs, kitchen items, etc. The back yard is very relaxing but we mostly sat out front and watched the people go by. Very friendly neighborhood. Would stay there again.

Spring Getaway

Unfortunately the last day of our stay was nonstop rain so we went home early. We are in our early 70’s and both of us have a lot of arthritis so the only bathroom downstairs was an issue as well as the bed being uncomfortable. Younger people may not find this as a problem. The location has way too much traffic since it’s on the road to the beaches. We stayed here before the beaches were open. In the summer it must be bumper to bumper traffic. The house location is walkable to the beaches and restaurants which is great for families just not senior citizens.

Literally the perfect house!!! It was absolutely spotless and had everything you’d need for a long weekend. We took our dog and two friends and the location was perfect! We could walk him everywhere in town. Check in and communication with Leia was so smooth and easy. Would definitely stay again and actually just recommended to a few friends for a trip later in the month.

Wonderful guest house with terrific, responsive hosts as neighbors. The house is very clean and has everything one would need for long or short term stays. The location is exceptional for walking, biking or driving. Parking, bikes, the patio, the grill all being available with the house are welcome extras. Leia and Scott have thought of everything.
