Fabulous location house amenities could be better.
We loved the location of our stay. The house was big enough and the kitchen was well stocked. The kids room had toys and games. But there was a lack of towels in each room, barely a full roll of toilet paper per bathroom, and the kitchen could take a good deep clean. The alleyway access was closed so we couldn’t use the garage and parking was sort of a nightmare. The furniture is worn and feels like a heavily used rental with a need for updates. This place could be really charming if more money was put into her. We probably will spend more money next time to get a nicer place.

Great location!
The house was so big and spacious with each bedroom having its own bathroom which is a plus when 8 people are staying. For cleanliness I gave 4 not because the house was dirty but because of some stains on carpet and such but otherwise the sheets were clean as were the bathrooms and kitchen. We celebrated my mom’s 80th birthday there and it was a great house to sit outside on the porch and enjoy the island. Really close to the ferry and short walk downtown. I would definitely stay here again. Kristy was so easy to reach and very nice to deal with although we didn’t have any issues but she would communicate with ease regarding check in and check out times very quickly.

Very nice location with a good restaurant across the street
It was cut short due to severe illness of our beautiful little dog, we rushed home in the middle of the night on Wednesday. She has cancer and is in her last days of life.
