Perfect space in a great location
Sensational outlook over the water means you can still enjoy the changing weather without leaving the warmth of the fire, if you don’t want to. Place is easy to find with a short walk to nearby restaurants, bars. Had all the amenities we needed & being able to have our small dog with us meant less fuss than other places. A few nice touches (wine, snacks, etc.) were added to ease into our relaxing stay.

Beautiful Studio
My wife and I had the pleasure of staying at Louise and James' studio in Albany for an extended weekend trip with our dogs. The check in progress was smooth with our hosts being very communicative and a pleasure to deal with. The studio was spotless, luxurious with such attention to detail throughout. The location was also amazing, close to town and with the ocean view from the deck. Highly recommended!
