Great space..for 8. We loved our stay here. House was clean with plenty towels and linens available. However, we would not recommend this space for 10 humans. The teens were not very comfortable on the air mattress, even with topper. It was doable, but not ideal. The other three bedrooms were great for us, esp with their own bathroom spaces. The lanai was nice w fire pit, and we used the bikes quite a bit. Fun location. Great little bodega right around corner has all needs; dishwasher soap, sugar, etc. Kitchen fairly well appointed. Unfortunately, the ally was torn up by the city/county, so we were not able to access the garage or park there. Good communication, comfortable, and considerate owner/managers. Mahalo

Amazing Location!! You feel like a local!

House had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Fireplace was an extra nice touch. Location can’t be beat! I would stay again! Garage is actually a good size for two vehicles but a challenge comes into play because there are trash bins in the alley from the market. Without those trash bins you have plenty a room but since they’re there, one vehicle is probably ideal. One small thing to note (I didn’t rate down for) was the cleaning crew arriving after we were told we could check in early. Also, our check out time was 10am and they were there at 9:30am. When I told them we would leave at 10am, they graciously left but came back at 9:55, we were gone by then but just wanted to note that.

Birthday Celebration

Beach island setting can’t be beat! Great location with view of the canal and short walking distance to shops and dining. Parking on the island can be a challenge so having a garage with dedicated parking is a huge plus! House has a well appointed kitchen with ample dining area seating. Lovely patio with gas fire pit and grill facing the canal. It was perfect for our “girls getaway birthday celebration! We would definitely return!Downstairs hall, bath and bedroom obviously get a great deal of use and could use a coat of paint. Rare to find a home with three full baths! Also a huge plus for this location! Loved our stay!
