Quiet and cool place

Great quiet location. Easy short drive to the beach and within walking distance of some nice restaurants/ bars. Well maintained and the AC worked great. Also had some interesting art throughout the house. Pedro was very nice, responded quickly to questions and replaced a router for us that suddenly went bad. We would stay here again.

Thanksgiving Weekend

We were in town to enjoy Thanksgiving weekend. This house was less than 5 minutes to our destination. Fantastic! The house is very clean with a surprisingly large master suite. Everything you need is there along with welcome snacks and waters. The only down side was I didn’t have enough time to finish the 1,000 piece puzzle. We plan on staying here again in the future.

Comfortable Bungalow

My husband and I stayed here while visiting our kids and grandkid, and the location was only about 10 minutes away from their apartment so that was a plus. The host always responded quickly to our questions and was very helpful! We noticed inside that there were before and after photos of the house when it underwent renovations. They did a nice job transforming it and updating it!We basically spent our nights and mornings there as we were busy helping our kids every day. The kitchen was good sized and the fridge and freezer were super cold! There was a coffee maker with all the fixings, although we didn’t use it. The air conditioning worked well and the thermostat looked new and was easy to adjust. We stayed in the master bedroom with the attached bathroom and it was quite nice. The bathroom fixtures, with the exception of the shower head which had a mineral layer on it, were very clean and updated. Good water pressure! Plenty of counter space and drawers and medicine cabinets behind the mirrors to store our stuff.Lots of closet space too and the one we used had glass shelves to put our clothes on. Ceiling fans in the bedrooms and living room were a plus and my husband liked the big TV!The neighborhood is an older one, but it was relatively quiet and we did hear some trains going by once in a while, but it wasn’t that loud. We won’t be able to stay there again as the bed wasn’t big enough for my tall husband!

Nice getaway

Everything was clean and orderly. Check in was quick and accurate. The house is nice, beds were comfortable and it was a great space for 4 adults. So much better than a hotel. The neighborhood is a bit interesting, but we felt safe. There is a train nearby so be prepared for multiple train whistles through the night. The listing said there was a drip coffee maker but it had a Mr. Coffee Keurig and not very good coffee. But everything else was great!

Really enjoyed our stay

This house was just the right size for us, a retired coupke. The location was perfect since we were looking for something near friends and relatives. We found the house clean, the amenities we needed were all provided, and the owners easy to deal with. We had a little glitch checking in, but a quick call to Pedro and Laura solved that. We would definitely stay here again.

The Property was great!

The property was clean, spacious and quiet. However at over $200 a night is steep and the televisions did not work, there was no visible wifi instructions as stated in the email. Overall it was a decent stay.
