The hubby and I really enjoyed this wonderful new spot! It was very close to cruise port and had everything needed for our overnight stay. I only wished there were TVs in the bedroom, as I always watch TV in bed. However, I highly recommend for couple or small families.

The house was great overall. Everything went down smoothly and the house was all clean. We were only there for one night but it was still great overall. There were many things to do around town. I would come back and recommend to a friend.

This place was soooo cute, clean and convenient to cruise terminal. The only thing I would note is the area is a little sketchy. Someone making “transactions” on the corner. This is not the fault of the host. They were amazing! Any questions I had were promptly addressed. They had extra items available if you forgot something and they had all the essentials. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Fantastic everything!

I booked the cottage for myself, husband, and another couple, but had to back out at the last minute. Ended up being just our friends staying and they loved it. Kalli is a very understanding and responsive host. I would definitely rent again!
