Ratings and reviews
4.0 / 5.0
The house was amazing. Great location and walking distance to everything. It was great watching the boats every day right off your back deck. The only cons were the upstairs windows outside were broken and there was small glass pieces on the deck. The other con was they need a bigger hot water heater. You barely had enough hot water for one shower. I would definitely stay at this location again and highly recommend it. The property manager was amazing and very friendly.
