It was perfect for our weekend getaway! We were able to walk to our destinations. The condo was a good size for the 3 of us. It is very close to the train station and we heard the horns and announcements, but it didn’t disturb our sleep at all. The house is pretty well insulatd. We had a good trip!.
It was just my teen and me. We were either a short walk or an Uber away from everything. The walk to the beach was short and easy, and it is a gorgeous beach!! My son is gluten free and fell in love with all of the choices including the 2 Lilac restaurants that are 100% gluten free. The unit does have a bit of a musty smell for those that are sensitive, but I just bring my air purifier when I travel and didn't have any problems. Thank you!!
Excellent Location & Walkable to Amazing Restaurants!
We had a great stay here! The apartment was just right for our family of four-cozy, comfy, and the best part? You’re literally steps away from the beach and surrounded by awesome restaurants & breweries. We walked everywhere, which is so convenient.One thing to keep in mind: the parking alley is super narrow. Our truck (5.5ft bed) barely made the turn, doing a multi-point maneuver worthy of a driving test! Definitely doable, but worth knowing ahead of time if you have a larger vehicle. On the bright side, once you’re in, there’s plenty of parking and the neighborhood is nice and peaceful.Overall, we had a lovely time and I won't mind staying at the same place again.
