Pre-Cruise Stay

We needed a place to stay the night before a cruise and this was a great spot. It was very clean and close to the port. Even though it was a garage turned studio, it was comfortable and had everything we needed for our short stay. Check in and check out were quick and simple. A good alternative to the high price hotels in the area.

Was a unique opportunity to stay at a small villa-like studio. Was small as anticipated, but quiet for the most part. It was close to the port for our cruise.

The hosts were friendly and helpful. Readily available when needed. The room was quaint and cute, TV, WIFI Shower worked well. Bed was comfy. The property is close to the airport and very close to cruise terminal. Lots of shops and restaurants, though I believe you would need a car. My only suggestion is to place a small table where the microwave is located, so guests can have their meal. . It was a pleasant experience.

This place is adorable! It was exactly what we needed for a place to stay one night before a cruise. It has a comfortable bed, a huge bathroom, a nice little sitting room and some really unique decorations that make you laugh, remember and/or think.

Perfect for what I needed. It's a garage so it's away from the street and very secluded. Joy and her husband were super friendly and helpful with the area and knowing things to do. Centrally located to nearby places. Felt safe and comfortable knowing they were in the house.
