Good location, reasonable priced, dated condo

It seems to be well kept, however dated. Bedroom carpets need to be cleaned or replaced. Needed more towels for a large family. Washer needs to be replaced. Makes noises.

Smooth and the property was amazing and definitely memorable. The host was so nice and helpful all the way. I really enjoyed the view of the water and the size of the balcony. Plenty of room for the family and the babies enjoyed the toys they left. Definitely worth coming back

This condo exceeded our expectations. Since we were three generations staying together, we had searched for a property that was not only large on the interior, but also offered the opportunity to spend time on the exterior. Thus, the balcony was huge and that is where we spent so much time overlooking the Bay. Management made check-in and check-out so easy. Everything was as it was described. Our thanks and gratitude!
