We enjoyed our stay here at this beautiful and charming home. Our host was responsive to all our needs. Spacious enough to fit our party of 11. Lots to do in this historic neighborhood. Minutes from our cruise port, which was the reason for our stay. Would definitely recommend and stay here again!

Quiet street. Not far from anything including restaurants, beach, shopping, fishing and ferry. The kitchen had everything you needed along with coffee and creamer. The bonus room was so fun and appreciated for our little one. Wish we could have stayed longer!!
