Fantastic spot as advertised

Can' say enough great thingsd about our almost five week stay. Gorgeous place fantastically appointed just as noted. The proerty manager was excellent in all communications. We saw saw Bill frequently, great guy, super nice and accomodating. Very very copmfortable and quiet. The AC was a plus on occasion. Multiple TVs and great internet. Kitchen perfect. There are steps to the place but no issues (good cardio). We often walked to Victoria Beach and the beaches at Montage. Trolley stopa block way ... easy. Nice relaxing garden area out side. The plants are gorgeous. Another set of outdoor steps takes you to you own private terrace with Ocean views. Can't say enought good things about it and the way it is run. An exceptional offering.

Kitchen is nice, provided caffenated pods. Excellent location to beach and Montague hotel area but on main highway. Bathrooms are small. Rooftop table with view of ocean is nice. Has decent parking spot.

Lovely vacation spot!

Beautiful property, has everything you need. We all used the large patio for hanging out by and doing some remote work. And there’s another spot upstairs with a great view. The location is amazing, walk to the Montage, Rubys or the shopping Center with CVS, La Sirena Grill etc. Take the trolley into town and don’t worry about parking. Lots of great hikes right outside your door. Bliss!
