Good location, tired property, pleasant hosts

Actual apartment was nice, but the building and hallways are very tired and neglected. The location was perfect for our purposes with a nice general store, library, coffee shop, and post office across the street. Apartment had all the necessities for a comfortable stay.

Great location, great space. Great air conditioning.Continue to work on getting the musty smell out of the apartment. Wash the comforter provided for the pullout bed. Clean the coffee maker with vinegar so coffee is made faster. It took 20minutes for a pot of coffee. Provide a washcloth and dish towel to make washing dishes easier.

Perfect location, just what I needed

I really enjoyed my time here. Except for a little lock combo snafu at the outset, it was everything I could have hoped for. The little town is cute, I was there for a class at the Folk School and was so close I could walk. Everything was comfortable. Directions were great. The hosts were very accessible and helpful. Enjoyed exploring the area. Will definitely return!

Great Experience

I came here for a quick personal getaway and it was exactly what I was looking for- charming, unique, comfortable, clean and the perfect location. It is a great spot because not a lot of preparation is necessary to stay here. The kitchen is well equipped, the bed is comfortable, and there is a general store a block away with everything you'd need; also a coffee shop and other restaurants. I also went for a hike at William O'brien State park just a few minutes away. The house is super unique and the location doesn't get much better- small town feel in the beautiful historic river valley. Highly recommend.

Cute town

The furniture in place was very uncomfortable. It needs updating, more care, and repairs. Our door was hard to open and there were several trip hazards on the property. If you are just staying a night or two, it's probably tolerable. It did teach me to do more research before signing. We would have left after the first week.

Great location, spacious, excellent communication with kind hosts!

We were relatively comfortable in our VRBO apartment in Marine on St. Croix. It is a spacious apartment, the kitchen is adequately appointed and it had a good shower with nice towels. This could be a TERRIFIC place but the entry hall needs attention — fresh paint, improved lighting, new carpet and some kind of fumigation to get rid of the musty smell. The BBQ area was completely neglected— the area was overgrown with weeds, the grill was rusty and full of insects. The lighting in the apartment could use some improvement— new brighter lighting fixtures and new window coverings would be welcome. But our primary issue was the bedroom—- it desperately needs new carpeting, new window coverings, and a new mattress. Every time one moves in the bed, it squeaks and creeks. The bed linens could use an update too. That being said, it could be a wonderful place and we’d return if attention were paid to our specific criticisms. We come up to Marine on St. Croix a couple of times a year to see dear friends in the area and would rent this apartment if some updated work was accomplished! We were very appreciative of the host’s kindness in allowing us a last-minute adjustment on the day of our arrival and departure due to a serious emergency at our home. The spacious living/dining area is a lovely feature that we truly enjoyed!!

Great place to stay! Just what we needed.

We did trip a circuit when I was blow drying my hair— my husband looked everywhere on the property to find the electrical box—- finally found it in the dungy basement. We did find some spiders in the bathroom- expected in an older home. The WiFi never worked for us— always said we needed a password for the guest. I could not find a cell # for the hosts which was a bummer but we survived. What a cute area across the highway- enjoyed the little shops!

Comfortable place, good location

I stayed in Unit #3 on the first floor. I enjoyed my stay in this one bedroom, one bathroom apartment. It’s decorated very well and comfortable; the pictures reflect the place accurately. The hosts made the unit very welcoming by having the air conditioner (a very nice newer floor model) on and battery operated candles on. There was also a bottle of wine available and the kitchen was stocked with some food items (canned soups, beans, hot chocolate, cooking oil, spices.) The bathroom towels are nice, there is a hair dryer, extras in the bathroom - shaving cream, disposable razors, shampoo and conditioner. The bed was comfortable. Free WiFi, but occasionally slow. The main part of Marine on Saint Croix is across the street within walking distance. It is only about two blocks long. Very quaint. Stillwater is a short drive for more things to do. Some state parks are also nearby. I appreciated the detailed check-in information the hosts provided especially how to find the parking area behind the building. The units are in a historical building, it is very old and the hallway to the unit is not pleasant, has a very musty odor. But again, the unit itself was nice. I would stay here again.

Great value

Marine on St Croix is a beautiful little town. The property is easily walkable to the Main Street. The property was clean, easy to access, had the amenities we needed, and was a great value for the area. The living room furniture isn't very comfortable, but if you aren’t there much it isn’t a big deal.

Good location and roomy unit.

The apartment could be excellent with just a little attention. The hide-a-bed is not fit to sleep in. The second night we ended up switching the matresses. That made the hide-a-bed much more comfortable, the bedroom was sleepable. The decor is pretty, but I would suggest not setting the table up with dishes, it's not convenient. Also there was a light bulb missing in the bathroom - 4 lights, two regular bulbs, one a candle bulb, and one empty. It's a dark bathroom. Seems that would have been something obvious to fix before the next guest arrived. We had to call Dave for a bulb -- he did come that day. The chairs in the living room are cute, but not that comfortable. There is plenty of dishes in the kitchen, but could use a new stove. We didn't use it, but it didn't look clean. There were plenty of towels. There was not a strong WIFI signal, but it worked. Previously vacationers said that it smelled bad. There was no bad smell in the unit. It is an older building, so hallways a little bit, but not enough to bother us. Marine is a great little town, so if you want the conveniences and quiet atmosphere of a small town, this would be a great place. I suggest if they don't change out the hide-a-bed, that you stick to two people.
