Great spot for parents
We were in town for a wedding and had our 4 year old daughter with us. This spot was the perfect alternative to a hotel room where we would all be in bed at the same time. Here, we had the affordability of a hotel but with the extra kitchenette space so that parents could stay up later + the extra daybed so that we all had our own space to sleep. This fit our needs to a tee.

Historic Beach Home Away From Home
We’ve stayed at this property several times and the location is just perfect. Walkable to the beach, restaurants and a local market. We like this unit in particular because the shared deck and bbqs are just outside the front door and the space feels very open. Having the attached kitchen is also a huge bonus. The room is clean and attractive. Be sure to keep in mind It’s a historic building, not the Hilton-so plan your expectations accordingly-there’s no a/c (and you don’t typically need it) and it’s quirky but it has everything you need. There’s a coffee maker, stove, toaster oven, mini fridge, dishes, pans etc. And it’s wonderful to have off street parking!

Great location but very noisey neighbors
The location was amazing and the place was cute, but we were kept up late and woken up early by the neighbors yelling, stomping and banging around. This is definitely more of a party pad and less of a relaxing place to stay. The drain stopper in the bathroom was broken so we had to continuously lift it up in order to drain the sink. This was quite annoying and also gross.

Nice spot in East Beach
Property is in a great location — quiet neighborhood except for trains a few times a day. I like trains so I didn’t mind. As mentioned in the listing, walls are thin but our neighbors were pretty considerate. About 1.5 blocks to the beach but an easy walk. The unit doesn’t provide any beach towels or chairs so we borrowed from friends here, but you can also rent items or purchase at the local drugstore if you’re going to spend a lot of time on the beach. Kitchen is small but functional with a mini-fridge and small coffee maker. Price reflects the location of this unit.

Cute but loud
The place is very cute and convenient, but we were kept up throughout our house stay by sounds from neighbors. One of the nights was unlucky, due to a loud party, but the other night seemed like a normal conversation — just incredibly paper thin construction
