This is not a typical short-term rental; it is not a renovated dependency or a newly constructed unit in an old neighborhood, nor is it situated on a tiny lot in a questionable or remote area. The old hardwood floors, tall ceilings, original moldings, plasterwork, windows, and doors exude a special warmth, character, and charm that is very difficult to achieve in new construction. The exterior copper roof and guttering provide additional warmth and character. It`s the real deal!

The water pressure in the shower and toilets were not strong so when there were more than 1 person showering it was not a lot of pressure and took forever to get the water hot.

Great Family Wedding Getaway

The property is beautiful, even beyond our expectations- quality amenities, appliances & furniture, bedding. Bathroom towels, robes, etc. Comfortable , spacious, very adequate for our group of 9. Loved having two floors, a private spacious outdoor porch and another shared porch on first floor. There are lots of steps which is probably important to know (2 sets inside to get to the unit). Great location very near King Street with all the options for eating shopping, entertainment. Private parking spots were great.Did not utilize offsite resort - seemed a little complicated but probably was very nice. No games or beach towels if planning a trip to the beaches -which we did with Uber. It was beautiful and we were very happy.

wonderful long weekend

House was perfect for our group; in terms of places to sleep and comfort of bedrooms it was perfect. Ease of checking in and out was helpful. Kitchen was well stocked and porch was perfect for sitting on and enjoying drinks with family. The private garden area was beautiful. Walking distance from many restaurants and shopping area and also not a bad walk down to the water. Overall a lovely vacation spot.
