The place was very comfortable and convenient. We enjoyed the large living room and the classic record player and records was a special touch. The beds were very comfortable.

The home was stylish, updated and had beautiful water views, and the host was very communicative throughout our stay. However, cleanliness could use more attention—we noticed cobwebs, dusty baseboards, dirty handprints around doors/banisters, gnats in the kitchen area and a mildewy smell from the dishwasher. There was also painter’s tape left on the main floor bathroom pocket door. Early check-in/late checkout is advertised for a fee, but both require approval. Despite booking two months ahead, early check-in took weeks and several messages to confirm, and late checkout wasn’t confirmed until the day before, so I wouldn’t necessarily plan around these options. Overall, a trendy, nicely furnished home that could be great with more attention to cleaning and details. Outdoor seating on the side deck or front porch would be a great addition for enjoying the beautiful water views.
