Lovely
Had everything we needed! It’s walkable to the main st for shopping and food. During the day we enjoyed renting bikes, the ferry, and the fun zone. At night we walked to dinner and cozied up at the apt. Would highly recommend for families. Thank you!

Not as advertised
Rented because it was described as having AC. That means during the summer, rooms won't be 80 degrees plus which most homes with sun exposure get. Well the Samsung AC unit was by the front door, nothing in the bedrooms so the bedrooms hit at least 85 degrees, by 9 or 10 pm maybe down to 80 so not at all comfortable. To make matters worse, the windows are the glass slat variety that don't keep out any sound and also let in some heat. The garage door is one of the loudest I have ever heard, so no sleeping through that when the other tenants come and go. With the AC on, it blows directly on the dinning table which is where I was trying to work. That area gets too cold. I asked to get out of the rental and they property manager refused. I have been at a lot of VRBOs, this is the worst experience so far. The mgt company brought out a portable cooler, set it up in the small bedroom, the heat vent was taped to the slat windows so that most of the hot air was redirected back into the room! What a joke.
