Very good

Great location, a block from fantastic brew pub, great breakfast cafe, very nice waterfront restaurant, and Publix. Walking distance to entertainment district, and Edison Ford estate.Old home well remodeled. 2 private BR, 1 open BR. 2 bath, 1.75 kitchen (very useful) We'd return, definitely
The best feature was 3 separate king bedrooms. Also liked the close proximity to old town....only 5 minute drive.The front entry step needs a railing for safety purposes. The place could use shades for windows a d front door to replace the sagging curtains. Road noise can be an issue
Great location, can walk to Publix and brewery/restaurants downtown but next to very busy road. Nice to have a kitchen and kitchenette but you have to walk thru a bedroom to get to main kitchen which doesn't have a oven but has hot plate/microwave. microwave.
