Quiet, Comfortable and Convenient

The property was beautiful. It was close to the beach and in a quiet neighborhood. It was easy to access and has a beautiful enclosed back garden visited by hummingbirds. Everything in SB is 10-4 minutes away from here. An outstanding find!

Excellent Long Weekend Getaway

We love the Mesa, and this property was an excellent location. East walk to Shoreline, east bike ride to Hendrys or East Beach. Private backyard was awesome as was the quaint private hot tub off the master bedroom. Highly recommended for a couple’s retreat or a small family!

Nice respite

Good house, great location, great views. Loved the vegetation. Amenities were average. House condition was ok (paint needs touch-up, new coat, couch is old and saggy, only 1 TV in entire place). Hot tub was a great amenity. Appreciated extra propane tank next to grill, as the one on the unit was empty. Nice place.

Lovely home on mesa near beach

This is a great house to rent. The house is very livable, with nice touches for everything you might need to make staying here very comfortable and easy. It is also a five minute walk to the mesa overlook and to steps down to the beach. Stores and downtown just a 5-10 minute drive away. We had a wonderful time here and would return. I highly recommend this place.

Quiet, clean, well stocked and beautifully decorated cottage.

My daughter and I were visiting a 99 year young friend at Samarkand Retirement Community. Tropical Retreat North was a convenient location and quiet two bedroom cottage. I am 81 and the beds were high for me to climb into. Otherwise it was perfect.

Beautiful house with great location but……..

This house is beautiful with a great location to the ocean, park and downtown. The kitchen, dining room, master bedroom and bath are lovely. There is no cooling so it was too hot. The fans helped but we had to sleep with the door and window open. The second bedroom had a full size bed that was hard and uncomfortable. It was hard to have 2 people sleep in it. There is no streaming service for Netflix, etc. There is a nice stereo with no way to connect Blue Tooth for enjoying music I had a lovely vacation but the house as is is not worth the price
