Fabulous location if you're coming for Navy boot camp graduation. So close to the base.This house has everything you need and can accommodate large families. The house is clean, stylish, and had everything we needed. Pool table, air hockey, sauna, and backyard with grill and fire pit were an additional bonus!

This home was a great, clean place to stay. It was minutes away from the Naval base. It was a quiet neighborhood with plenty of rooms and beds, and two game rooms: one in the garage and one in the basement. The kitchen was full of amenities, and they also had spices to help out with home-cooked meals. We used the washer/dryer daily, which was convenient, so I didn't have to return home to do our laundry. There was an outside pit we used. We enjoyed the mildly cool weather with a woods-like feeling. We used the gas grill, which was great because my sailor wanted home-cooked food. Overall, everything was excellent. Great experience, and the host was quick to respond to any questions I had. I give it five stars!!

⸻We had a wonderful stay! The host was amazing and always quick to respond to any questions, which made everything so easy. The house was very clean and comfortable. The location was also great—just a five-minute drive from the Navy Recruit Training Command. It was perfect for us since we were in town for our son’s Navy graduation. Overall, a great experience and we would definitely recommend this rental!

This being my first short term dwelling experience, I could not help but feel as if I was on the 15th floor of a 5 Star hotel. Imagine, if you would, a floor plan designed for merriment, fantasy and fun. The repetitive uuhhs and aawws sounded like a rehearsed melody. Available amenities made it instantly feel like a home away from home. Bring your expectations and become surprised and satisfied at the same time. No need to worry or think shoulda, couldda woulda because everything you’ll need is already there. Without giving much more away, my stay at this well thought out get-away was one that I’ll always remember and never forget.

This was a very cute bungalow. It's old but well maintained. There was a roach in the bathroom, not the big cockroach but a small roach. I didn't see any signs of uncleanliness anywhere in the home, so we chalked it up to coming from outside. This isn't the best neighbor but we enjoyed ourselves. I'm prior military myself and many military installations aren't in the most desirable areas. It was convenient to the base, which was my primary reason for being here. Staff was very accommodating and available.

Very nice and newly remodeled property. Would definitely recommend. Property owner was pleasant and attended to maintenance issues promptly. Pool table and air hockey tables were fun to play on. There is even a sauna on the property but we did not use it. Great location for being near the Naval base.
