Locations was as expected. Clean rooms and directions given were perfect to get there. The parking made it a little difficult to get in and out of the car but was OK. Bed and pillows were a little soft but that is a personal preference. It would have been nice to catch up on the news either in the morning or evening but no TV is provided. Was definitely a better experience with this Vrbo than my last one. Would recommend.

Gabrielle's place is very clean, quiet, and she is a thoughtful and accommodating host.Since parking at Good Harbor Beach is 40, it's really really nice to be able to walk there. Carrying chairs, umbrella, and bags, in flip-flops under the summer sun, it's about a 20 minute walk and does involve going up a small hill each way. That said, totally worth it. I was surprised that there was no TV, but that's only because I hadn't paid close attention to the listing. The wifi is good enough to stream on your own device. The mattress and pillows were a bit soft for my taste. However, after hours at the beach, that didn't stop me from sleeping soundly.

Perfect studio for 2 people in a great neighborhood that's close to great restaurants and sightseeing activities. The host (Gabrielle) was outstsnding, she explained everything in detail and she had everything ready for us when we arrived.
