"We had a great stay in the loft over 4th of July. Hosts were great helping us set up boat rental pickup, and we watched fireworks from the back patio at night. The loft is close proximity to the bar next door, so be aware of potential late night live band on the holiday if you have early sleepers - we enjoyed listening from the patio."
