Great place. Clean and comfortable. Pool was nice. Management service was responsive, friendly and helpful. Easy walking distance to shops and restaurants. Far enough away to be quiet at night. Great spot. Some flexibility with check in / check out times would have been appreciated, but to be fair they were quite clear about the rules from the get go. We would rent this place again.

Location, property, and our stay in general was fantastic. Great to be able to walk or ride a bike to any old town location within minutes. Pool is small but perfect for a few people. The only minor challenge is finding parking, but we were able to find a space within a few minutes' walk during our stay. Upstairs shower is tight for taller people.

Home was tastefully well appointed, had all the things you need for a week. Stairs are steep, almost more like a ladder LOL. Easily navigable unless you've got some kind of mobility issue. Location is awesome, we enjoyed sitting on the porch and watching Whitehead go by.... Pool and yard are perfect. We had a maintenance issue with the HVAC and the property manager was quick to resolve it. Great service and great place. Definite on the short list for repeat stay.
