Perfect, perfect place. Immaculate, comfortable and thoughtful. The hosts absolutely know the meaning of hospitality, we have never felt more welcome. We loved the cookies and water that were waiting for us upon arrival as well as the thoughtful toiletries available in the bathroom. Excellent location, walking distance to a charming beachfront park and everything else the area has to offer. Thank you so much!
We had booked the place to take my son on college tours. However, we had to leave after just one night and that is my biggest regret. I would have loved to stay longer. This is a lovely little apartment on the first floor (has a cottage like feel). The two words that comes to mind when I think about this property are "charming" and "thoughtful". The decor makes you feel at home immediately. The apartment is stocked with things that you might need. The beds are comfortable and we felt we had everything we needed. The owners live downstairs and are easy to reach. The water is a short walk away and it was so very peaceful here. A tranquil retreat. I would love to go back. Thank you so much for opening up your home to us.
My husband and I, along with our 21-month- old had a great stay. Located a two-minute walk from a public beach, the house is the perfect size for we three. Everything was very clean and neat. We really appreciated the little extras we found but did not expect. Kid's dishes and a toy box
