Beautiful location. However the room was very stuffy (no windows opened for air flow) the noise from upstairs was quite loud and intrusive-going well past 10pm. Then the chickens and ducks start making noise at dawn.The room nedds a good deep-clean-and likely time to replace the highly stained carpets!If all you need is a bed to catch a few hpurs sleep, and a ahower-this might suit your needs. The owner saw us unload at nighr, but failed

The room was comfortable and roomy. I arrived late at night and the room was dark. The light switches were not close to the door so i would have appreciated it if a light was left on for me. The bed was very comfortable and clean. The walls and door jams could use some cleaning but everything else was good.

Good spot for a bed and a shower

I was in town for an event and this served ky needs. The family does live upstairs so youre not getting total quiet. When i stayed beach access was closed so it was a little further than i expected (still walkable but a better drive).Communicated well, and had no problems with the check in or out process.

The room was exactly what i had imagined. The beach access near the property was boarded off, and nothing seemed a reasonable walking distance. Mainly, it is such steep hills and im not cut out for that. Our stay was only intented to a place to sleep and it met my requirements. I would definitely stay again.

Nice location really close to a nice beach with great view of the sunset. Bed and pillows weren’t the best but good enough for 3 nights. DVDs were a cute little touch, got to watch Shrek for the first time in a while.

Great property, clean, nice surroundings, owners are nice, but if you really need peaceful evening and nights maybe questionable due to owner have some kids that understandable cannot be controlled and you may experience stamping on your ceiling during your quiet time!

It’s a nice place to stay if you’re just using it to sleep. We like to sit outside in the morning and have our coffee so it would be nice if there was a sitting area outside. The owner needs to put in better dining chars the ones that were there were awful. It could use a new front door the one in there was a bit drafty.

The unit did have a separate entrance which was very nice! But yes, you can hear most of the family's movement around the house. They are up early for school and early ish to bed. The room also lacks natural light and circulation of air with only one small window to the back yard that doesn't open.

Perfect spot for what we needed for our short stay. Was a little loud at times in the evening but we understood there were children upstairs. The noise stopped completely by 11pm. Host very accommodating. Excellent response time when contacted. Friendly. Thanks for having us!

Noisy upstairs, running, jumping, moving furniture very loud . Bedding and pillows lacking. Carpet dirty, no outside space, poorly lit walk way at night.....sadly underwhelming all around. Beach 3 blocks and steep wooden stairs (about 300 stairs down) ....pretty though.

If it was so bad according to you, you should have approached. We had guests and we were leaving next day early. You did not mention two days of quiet. Pls read description first before booking. It says noise expected.

2 night stay

Amrjit was very prompt to respond to any messages. I would definitely recommend this rental to anyone doing a short stay- it provided a comfy bed, a very nice bathroom, closet space and had a makeshift kitchen setup. The ONLY note I'll make is that the sound travels from upstairs, so we could hear a fair bit of movement (chairs, talking ect....) at peak hours. But overall, this place was perfect and exactly what we were looking for :)

Why they chose this property

This is the best neighborhood I have lived in since I moved to Canada. It's quite and really safe area. Great beaches at walking distance and all the shopping malls are really close.

What makes this property unique

Close to beach. You can literally walk to beach. All shopping is closer. Lots of places to heat nearby. Lots of things to do.
