Great location, comfortable furniture, and the layout worked well for us. Only downside was we had to clean up the yard ourselves in order to use it, and we don’t understand why the washer/dryer are not included since they are on the premises.

Upon arrival, some areas not clean. Refrigerator had not been cleaned out. Twin Beds in adjacent space were crazy hard and very uncomfortable and not workable for adults. Back yard didn’t appear to have been cleaned up recently. Tons of debris from the trees No gas for grill Very low bed in primary bedroom so not good for anyone with joint issues Electric “deposit” isn’t really a deposit but an additional fee. Was not shown in the payment summary.

Perfect location, perfect home for our stay
We rented Aldrich House for the month of February. We have vacationed in PG many times and wanted to experience it like locals. The home is a block away from Lover's Point, where I would walk the dog every morning. Then less than 3 blocks to Lighthouse Avenue and great restaurants, coffee shops, a bookstore, and more. The home itself was comfortable with all amenities we needed, and very cute! The backyard space with the firepit was very comfortable and inviting. And the side cottage was great for guests and having a separate private room for zoom calls/business. And thankful I had the garage for my bike and golf clubs. Kyle was a great property manager and took care of all of our needs promptly. I would happily rent there again.
