"All that is gold does not glitter." Gandalf's words echo as we climb the well-worn, weather beaten stairs of The Beach, wondering what we just booked, as the constant waves of traffic drown out those on the other side of the building. And then we open the door to the Vrbo and everything changes; quiet, spotless, modern, with the welcome of The Bay right outside the sliding glass doors. The hosts have not forgotten a single detail, from the L,A,K,E initial mugs to the soundbar by the bed. You truly open the door to a different place; a secret hideaway close to everything from fine dining to lakeside hikes to downtown shopping. Nicely done.
