The listing was accurate and we really enjoyed the location. It’s nice to be on the canal..quiet and calm. The beach is very nearby. We stayed in the top unit as we read that the walls are thin, I preferred to be upstairs for the potential of noisy foot steps. We were the only guests for our time there so it didn’t ultimately matter. The walls being thin seems to be standard for construction in the area. There just isn’t a need for insulation given the year round temperatures. We found the bed in the primary to be very comfortable. Overall it was as expected and a very comfortable stay.

Thank you for your comments, Kristin. We’re glad the home met your expectations and that you enjoyed the quiet canal-front location. Being near the water does indeed provide a calm and relaxing setting, while still being just a short walk from the beach. Nice to know you found the primary bed comfortable and that you had such an enjoyable stay. We hope to see you again. Kind regards, BVR

Absolutely horrible stay. Under construction the entire stay. Saws going hammering, dirty floor, .i was extremely upset and sad because it was my sons wedding and no rest. Garage parking was blocked, water shut off.. complete nightmare. And no compensation of any real apology.. we are beyond upset with this rental.

Overall we enjoyed our stay. Great location, quick walk to beach and close to restaurants. The unit was cute and spacious, with a a nice kitchen. However, for the price point, I think some of the furnishings should be updated and the patio could use some attention/remodeling.
