Cute but lacks cleanliness
Overall, it is a very cute property with nice decor and well stocked with items that are needed for your stay. It was a relatively quiet place, though if there is anyone on the top floor, you can hear all movements and footsteps, which made it a little difficult to sleep. The main problem that we noticed was a very dusty/mold like smell as soon as we walked in. My friend and I are both allergic to dust and mold, so our allergies were acting up the whole time. But the most concerning part was the black mold we found throughout the shower, especially coming from the shower head, and all over the shower head cord. The shower floor was also stained and dirty, along with a line of black mold on the bottom of the shower curtain. We felt more comfortable wearing flip-flops in the shower. Lastly, we found a small dead bug on one of the pillow cases in the guess bedroom. I very rarely write reviews, and am usually pretty passive, but I truly felt this needed to be known, and I hope that these issues are resolved before the next guess comes for everyone’s safety and comfort, because it is a very cute place to stay.

I loved staying here! The location was perfect; only a short walk to the sponge docks with shopping and restaurants and literally across a street from a beautiful park and spring. The neighborhood is quiet. John was an excellent host and responded immediately to any issue or question. My only issue was that the listing indicated there was a hot tub, but there was not. I would have used it had there been, but it was fine without one. I would definitely stay here again!

Home away from home
This little cottage unit felt very welcoming the minute we walked in the door. Everything was perfect. It’s in a wonderful location as it is within walking distance to the bayou and the downtown area. There’s quite a few wonderful restaurants close by also. We loved it and will definitely stay there again.

The apartment was adorable…clean, well stocked and nicely decorated. Location was perfect for manatee and dolphin spotting! Springs Bayou was our morning walk and sun/ shade relaxing! The owners were very attentive and replaced a non-working tv almost immediately. Great property Thanks for sharing the apartment!
