It was clean and well maintained - with many thoughtful touches by the host. We liked that we could walk to the harbor and coffee shops on one side and to Good Harbor Beach on the other.

This house was amazing for us. The place was clean and well kept. The location could not have been any better for. Our niece lives very close to the house. Walking distance to the beach was about a half mile.. The parking is great because it has it's own driveway. Inside the house the layout was very good. We diffidently would stay here again

Great stay

The apartment was very nice, clean and a good location. There was an odor in the front room that we couldn't figure out. It reminded me of a wet dog smell. Other than that, everything was good.

Nice Place

Sergio was very responsive and provided all the necessary information before it was needed. Check out requirements were as simple as simple gets. We ate out exclusively during our stay, but note that the kitchen accessories and utensils are basic. Also, be sure to bring your own games, if desired.

Outstanding stay! This home is very comfortable and cozy, and there are so many thoughtful extras included. Even the linens, towels and bedding are great quality. Sergio is an excellent and communicative host, and even went out of his way to help us with the TV after a Comcast issue. We highly recommend!!
