Outstanding! There were no reviews and this place turned out to be an absolute gem. The bay views are stunning, and the spacious back deck is just perfect. The kitchen was well-stocked with dishes, cookware, and upscale appliances. The space is inviting, comfortable, and clearly cared for. The king bed was a bonus! Communication with the host was very easy. We would definitely stay again.
