Cozy and Close

A great house away from the hub and the bub of the main roads, yet close to everything! Interior is nicely decorated and clean. Only minutes away from several points of interest - Fisherman's Wharf, Wetlands Park, Ferry landing, Leonabelle Turnbull Birding Center and of course the beach!! It's worth a return stay.

We nicknamed this house the bouncy house. Checking in and out was all fine. Rate was a bit on the high side. The house is the perverbial lip stick on a pig. The quality and workmanship left much to be desired. Location was fine and served it purpose. Would not stay again.
I can only guess they cut the top of the door first. Realized mistake and then cut the bottom of the door and installed the cut back on the top to fix 1st error?
Looks like they installed a door sweep on the top of the door (there's one on the bottom as well, neither seal)
Great for a 5' tall person. Someone 6' tall ...not so good.
Looks like water damage at bathroom sink

Clean and cozy

This house served our family of 4 well. The house was very clean and comfortable. No central ac or heat, but the window units kept up fine. Kitchen was equipped with the essentials. No dishwasher though. Great backyard for our dog. All in all, a nice place. thatwe would come back to!
