The host was very nice. The property was clean. The kitchen was well stocked and the house is close to downtown. Storage in the bedrooms was an issue. No. Loser in the master bedroom and no dressers in any of the bedrooms just 4 small baskets to put all your clothes. Also, not really a view. Just of tennis courts. Still, we had a very nice stay!

We were in town for the Ironman 70.3, this place was conveniently located close to downtown (for check in/dinner/lunch sports/near the finish) and then only 15 mins from the start/beach. Across the street from a rec center/park as well. House was great for the 8 of us (4 adults and 4 kids).

Wish we had more time!

Everything about this house gave comfort! Beds were comfortable and the couch was so comfortable it was hypnotizing. Home was so relaxing we were afraid to sit that we’d loose all our outside things to do for falling victim to the comforting environment! The showers were like a spa and the placement of the decor made this location so picturesque. I love this spot. Thank you for everything. Can’t wait to comeback soon!

Family weekend trip.

This house is beautifully decorated and close to the waterfront. We wanted a 3 bedroom place to visit with two of our adult children in the area. This home was perfect for us with plenty of room. Everything you would need to prepare meals was readily available although we chose to eat most of the time downtown. The house is in the historic district so there is some construction on some of the streets. They have outdoor seating on both levels in the front as well as a back patio. The host is very responsive. The only minor difficulty we had was a slow streaming tv in the living room while my husband watched a race. There were thunderstorms in the area which could have definitely contributed to that. Otherwise, beautiful place to stay close to the downtown riverfront. It was an easy drive to the beach and to the college as well. The beds were comfortable and there was great water pressure. We definitely recommend staying here!

Staci was accommodating and even though she was on the other side of the country, and there was a big time difference she would answer my questions promptly. She also allowed us to check in one hour early. At the price point for the rental, it was a better choice for us than 2 hotel rooms for 3 nights. The house was also conveniently situated to the various events we attended downtown. The house was clean, especially the bathrooms, but this is a very lived-in home. The beds are comfortable, but the bedding is in poor condition. My daughter’s sheets and bedspread had stains on them. We washed everything hoping it would look better, but it was definitely stained. The washcloth she was given to use looked like a frayed rag. That was also true of my sister’s washcloth. The sheets that my husband and I slept on, as well as the sheets my sister slept on were pilled from top to bottom, making them rough and uncomfortable. I know that this is not Staci’s personal residence, so I think that this may be a case of the cleaning crew not paying attention to details, but it is typically the details that make or break a stay.
