Very clean home and close to the Seawall. We were surprised at the state of the front yard…. It looked like an abandoned home. The backyard was in the same disarray.

The house was small but perfect for my husband and I. We were in town for a motorcycle rally and were only at the house to shower and sleep. The bed was comfortable. The washer was super noisy, but it worked so I can’t complain. However, the shower leaves something to be desired. Very little water pressure with a hose attachment that’s like wrestling with an alligator. The two provided parking spaces are down an alleyway behind the house that you have to walk through the side yard of the house, walking underneath a covering that has nails sticking through it to get to the front door, to be able to get into the house. There’s no key to get in the back door where the parking spaces actually are. This sucked after dark. The rug in the living room slides around on the flooring, and my husband almost fell twice and myself once. I do feel like these are small complaints, but may be problematic to others. We did actually enjoy our stay at this house, and I do recommend it for short stays. The house was very clean and the company maintaining the home actually provided complementary toiletry bottles in the bathroom and some in the kitchen as well.

This is a cute bungalow. Very comfy bed. Nice layout. Accurate photos.IF you are planning on walking to places, stay somewhere else. Many of the local streets here do not have sidewalks, so it's dangerous to walk in the streets.

What we needed
Cute little house that’s perfect for a couple or single person! The shower head is pretty low, so if you’re taller be warned. We really only needed to sleep and shower there so it was perfect for that. It did look fully stocked, so would be good to make dinners and breakfast in.
