The owners have put a lot of creativity into caring for this property! Every detail has been considered! There was even a small arcade in our room, which we enjoyed. Fun place within easy walking distance of the harbor.

Overall the property was nice and quiet but I do think if your going to have a front desk that it open 9-6 and no one is in there it makes it harder to ask questions

Small but cute property a quick walk to the beach. Upon arrival at 4 pm we met the owner ann who was very nice. The space was a great size but the shower was to dirty to use without sandles and the ac was not encased in the window fully which let bugs into the room.

The room looked exactly like it was pictured. We were sent our unit number and key code before we arrived. So when we arrived, we just went in. We had one problem with our key code after we had used it. We sent a text message and it was fixed immediately. Will definitely be going back!

It was a good stay. Did not like the $35 nonrefundable charge, which is unreasonable by my standard. Stayed in hundreds of hotels throughout the world never seen this type of unreasonable charge before. Many hotels placed "accidental/damages/theft holds" on the customers' credit cards but usually refunded them after their stay.
