In the apartment's little kitchen, you will find everything you may need to prepare a meal. We offer a stovetop for cooking. But instead of an oven, we offer a combination microwave that is a microwave/convection oven and air fryer. It does a great job preparing your food. You will find cooking instructions next to the microwave. There is plenty of dishes and cooking utensils for your use.

The TV does have basic cable. You can get regular channels and also login into Netflix and other movie networks with your sign-ins.

The Pleasure Pier is also just over 2 miles away. And minutes to all types of restaurants, bars, and grills. We are 4 miles from the Strand/Port area of downtown.

We the Owners, Woody and Richard live on the property on the upper 2 floors of the home. We have been hosting guests at our other properties since 2001. We've been told we have a wonderfully relaxing location here and we should share it with guests. We plan to only mingle with guests at the pool area or on any of our other upper decks around the home. Woody is an excellent gardener and keeper of his Orchid greenhouse. Guests are free to roam the 1/2 acre property. There is a cat named Missy-ann and our Boston Terrier named Spotallen on the property. Along with our 8 Koi fish and chickens. Yes, chickens, are located at the far end of the pool. You won't really know they are there unless you hear them or look for them.

This is a cute little hideaway hidden under the main house. A very small but cozy place. I like the shower toilet set up, one room, cute. The bed was comfortable. The television is in the living room portion of the hideaway so you will need to plan accordingly if you are used to watching from your bed. Again, an enjoyable overnight stay for my wife and I.

The location was perfect for our plans and the space was as described. Although we didn't utilize the pool it was clean and inviting. It is a creative use of space with all the amenities you need. If steps are a challenge for you, then you should know the toliet and shower require ascending 2 steps.We will be staying here again.
