This place was perfect for what we needed on this trip. Very comfortable, private, and well equipped location. We had some questions along the way and fmthr host was very attentive in assisting us throughout the check in process. Parking was easy and close to all the local attractions. We would stay here again.

Nice Island Stay

Cozy place with a bright sunny terrace. The kitchen is updated and modern, but the single bathroom could be refreshed. Easy to work with the property manager and check in/out. Great location for walking everywhere on the island.

The unit was fairly well equipped - especially the kitchen. Great location and Garage parking much appreciated. Unfortunately the internet did not work well, and we had no heat the first night - 24 hour contact said they would contact us and they never did. Had to call again in the morning and finally got it fixed. Also faucets in bathroom are loose and in danger of falling off, and dryer did not work.

Great location on this adorable island. All the common areas have been nicely updated but the bathroom and two bedrooms still need quite a bit of work. The space is advertised to have a garage, and while it does, it can only fit two small cars. There was already a large SUV in the garage when we got there, so there was no room for another vehicle. Wasn’t a big deal since there’s plenty of street parking available.
