"The host is amazingly responsive to bookings, questions and issues. Further the host is incredibly understanding and beyond generous with provisions at the home. The home has updated appliances, the furniture is perfectly comfortable (including the bed) and everything is sparkling clean. That the home is on the waterfront provides a sense of serenity and peace that I’ve not found at most other rentals. Without reservation I highly recommend this experience and I will return again and again."

Although there was some commotion and noise around the front desk. Our room was very quiet. We slept well no disturbances. The staff was friendly and helpful. For what we paid, which was about $80, it wasn't bad at all. I would stay there again."
