We enjoyed our stay. It was clean and comfortable. Nice to have a place to relax and cook close to the naval base. My only concerns were that the listing says it's a 10 minute walk from the base and it's not. It's about 1.5 miles and would be 35 minutes walking according to Google maps. We had to adjust our plans because of this. Also we were not able to check in on time because the cleaning crew wasn't done until about 30 minutes after our check in time. The house was very comfortable, clean, and we would stay again for the price.

I would never rent this place again. It’s dirty, and many things are Janky or broken. The cabinets don’t lineup or match, paint is chipping and peeling, light fixtures, and ceiling fans don’t all work, the kitchen is poorly equipped to cook a meal as there was only one tiny frying pan in the whole place and no cooking sheet. One of the bedrooms there’s no lamp or an overhead light. It just was a terrible stay overall. The grass was super long, the patio is overgrown with weeds, the parking area is overgrown with weeds.

My family came to the area for Navy Graduation. It was perfect. The host was very attentive and our stay was amazing! We wanted a place my family could be together instead of different hotel rooms. There is a great outdoor area as well with a patio table and chairs. Very Clean and the vibe was great. About a 10 minute drive to the base and the route we took to graduation only had us in traffic for about 30 minutes total. Perfect location for those attending graduation.
