Overall - great place - location, clean, view, kitchen stocked with necessities. Few things: - unit has no laundry inside unit. Need quarters. More effort than we would've wanted with young kids. Community laundry room has only 1 washer too. - Shower water temp was never super hot during our week there. 90/95 degrees max. - no bathroom upstairs & steep/thin spiral staircase which isn't pictured.

Nice place but need to be aware of the stairs
The place is very clean and has a lovely view. The listing, however, needs to be updated to share details about the interior. The stairs are a very narrow spiral staircase to the loft, it is hard to impossible to take a suit case up. If a person has any handicap at all, these stairs won’t be negotiable. There really needs to be a picture of this staircase on the listing. The property is listed as having 2 bedrooms, but the the loft has no privacy, so is not really a bedroom. It would be fine for older children or a young couple. There is no bathroom up on the loft, so for us mature people, who need a bathroom in the middle of the night, negotiating the very narrow spiral stairs in the dark to get to the bathroom on the ground floor is a problem. Again the place is nice, and has a very well appointed kitchen, but it needs full disclosure on the interior layout for mature couples to be aware.

Dear Ed and Nancy, Thank you for your candid review. We are truly sorry that you believe we did not properly disclose how Pearl on the Shore is configured inside. In reviewing our still photography, I do see that the shots our photographer took do not show the spiral staircase. This said, we also feature a Virtual Tour of this unit which shows the staircase in detail from every angle. We feel that the Virtual Tour is front and center in the listing and does an excellent job of disclosing the staircase configuration. We also in the unit description have included the following statements: "This two bedroom, two story condo has a queen bedroom on the main floor and two queens in the upstairs loft, all with new mattresses and luxury linens throughout. The loft is accessed by a spiral staircase." And, "There are two tiled bathrooms: one with combo tub/shower and one with a walk-in shower. Both bathrooms are on the main floor." We are checking now to see if the stairway lighting might have ceased to work correctly. We are very concerned that the staircase needs to be well lighted at night and are now installing additional lighting for that purpose. We are also going to further mention that the access to the loft (which the county classifies as a bedroom) is up a spiral staircase. We do not want any guests to be surprised by the interior configuration. Thank you again for bringing your concerns to our attention. General Manager

We will be coming back
We had a tremendous two week stay. Part vacation, part working. Great location, great sun, great views. Recently renovated, equipped nicely and enough soft goods (d/w, laundry det., paper towels) to get us started. You can read all the other reviews to see how great this place is. And we will come back assuming some dates come up for 2024. However, two things to note. My wife worked in the loft (various cables for hooking up the monitor are in the desk, but bring your own cables if you have a Mac). We could not carry on two conference calls at the same time, the sound carries from the loft into the main area and vice versa. Also, laundry is in the adjacent building (or dockside). Normally we wouldn't pick a place without a w/d, glad we slipped up this time.

Relaxing in Roche
I had a wonderful time in Roche with the kids. The condo was perfect for the three of us and we all slept well in the very comfortable beds. The kitchen was nicely supplied with everything we needed and we loved walking down to get ice cream after dinner. A wonderful break from all the chaos of life!

September long weekend
We came to Roche Harbor for a family reunion and this was the perfect place for 3 of us to stay. Very easy walk to the Resort for the restaurants or if we needed essentials at the store. Nicely redone, all the details were great. Highly recommend!

Great condo near Roche harbor
I've stayed in many Vrbo's but I've never seen a property with such high quality. Everything from appliances, silverware, bed linens, pillows, towels, etc. is top quality. The location is also great (walking distance to Roche Harbor). We really enjoyed our stay and wouldn't change anything. The only thing to note (which is not a problem) is the stairs to second floor that is not ideal for elderly people.
