Liked: Check-in, listing accuracy
Disliked: Communication
Everything was clean when we came in, and beds were made. Extra blankets and pillows for those sleeping on the fold out couch. Reasonable kitchen utensils and cooling equipment. Little difficult to tell where everything was. Emails I received sometimes conflicted with information. Host did not respond to message 5 days before reservation but responded to one during the end of our stay. House was close to Vons so could easily make a grocery run. Overall was a good rental and was fun with group of friends. Oh and there was a orange cat that would visit every night so that was cute.

My stay.

My stay at this property was pleasant. The neighbors were very welcoming, assisting me with enjoying my time and seeing as much as I could in the time I was in their neighborhood. The local restaurants were within walking distance and dining was well received. All in all, this was a very good trip. Would definitely recommend.

Decent place, good location that could use some improvements

An overall nice place in a good location. Things were a little run down: the patio door would not lock and we were not able to use the oven because it would set off the smoke alarm. Otherwise, a comfortable place to stay for the weekend.

Great stay

Overall, we had a great stay! The house is on a quiet street but is still close to town. Everything worked well in the apartment except for the sliding door to the deck (it doesn’t lock). The main bed was really comfortable but the sofa bed wasn’t. We still really enjoyed the stay and would love to go back!

Lovely little retreat.

This place was perfect for my little getaway. My family reunion was taking place on the island and I needed a little spot to retreat to for privacy and relaxation. It was very cute and had everything I needed.It even came with a friendly kitty who must live nearby. He was very sweet and made my whole trip. I will come back for sure!

A little dirty but great location

Overall the stay was okay. The walls have stains and dirt marks all over and there is a chair in the bedroom covered in stains which was not appealing. Something else I found unappealing was the cigarettes left out on the patio and an old hotdog we found left on one of the grills. The furniture in the living room is very uncomfortable but there are smart TVs to watch in both rooms and the WiFi works well. The kitchen is very well stocked in my opinion and the bathroom was clean. The location is excellent!

Prime location good comfort cute decor

Location is central, but not on a busy street. House is cute and interesting. The furniture was not the most comfortable. I wouldn't want to watch a whole movie from the couch. The fans in the house were broken, the shower door had been repaired in a way that prevented it from closing entirely. I think

Tiny, cute, close to everything

Property could use a deep cleaning. It is obvious that it gets the basics done regularly but really could use a deep cleaning. The layout is very "cozy". The listing leads you to believe there is a sofa bed but in fact the sofa just extends to a full size futon. I asked the manager if beach towels are provided and was told "yes" only to arrive and no beach towels are provided. I also asked the manage about storing luggage after checking out and was directed to the docks where you can pay a small fee to check your bags in for the day. This was very handy as we had a full day of activities planned prior to heading back to the mainland. The balcony is a great place to hang out and enjoy the ocean breezes. I recommend this unit if you are just there for a few days and don't plan to spend much time inside. The next time I visit I will rent a unit with a golf cart.

We loved our stay! The location is absolutely perfect - far enough away from the crazy (cruise ships docked both days holding 5,000 people) but very easy to walk to the water (even with small children). The convenience of Vons being only a two minute walk can not be understated. There is a great park just a five minute walk in the opposite direction along with outdoor work out equipment for the adults. This was a great way to start the day or a pit stop before or after $2 tacos and $6 margaritas at Sandtrap! Don't miss the scenic walk just up the street. Very hilly, but amazing views and an easy run down the opposite side of the mountain by the Chimes Tower. Just beautiful. The shower door still needs to be fixed (easy magnet I would think?) and more pillows would be appreciated, but the patio was wonderful to sit with drinks after a long day or chill with coffee in the am. We'll be back!
