This was our second time staying at this property! Still a good experience but a few things were broken (exhaust fan, shower door) which was disappointing and the property smelled a bit musty in some spots. The backyard is great for a dog which was the biggest draw and we love the central location!

Overall, a great place for St Michal's shopping and Maritime Museum. The property is managed and the actual owner not really involved. We would strongly suggest a more reasonable "first day" arrival for those traveling a long distance... welcome basket of one day's supply of coffee, trail bar, chips, bottled waster, just anything to get travelers through the first few hours as there are no groceries in the downtown area. The management company does its best to work with what is there, but some upgrades to the actual property would be our suggestion(like hangers, a box of tissues, a grab bar in the tub/shower areas, etc)

The house was in a perfect location. Loved having a fenced yard for my dog to roam. The bed was comfortable as was the sofas. I asked to extend my stay and they took care of everything. Having separate sitting areas would be great for larger families or groups.

We really liked this house and the location! The host was very responsive and helpful before, during, and after our stay. We had a minor issue with a backed up drain that they quickly resolved and they also promptly sent me back things we accidentally left behind. It was clean and comfortable. Loved the fenced in yard and gas grill. We already booked again for next year!

If you you want to spend time walking around St. Michaels, this is the perfect spot, right in the middle of town. The three bedrooms are all comfortable, and the kitchen/living room is a nice place to hang out.
