The space was conveniently located to downtown. The house was adorable and super clean. For a small space, it was laid out very well and it never felt tight or cramped. Overall, great place to stay!

Property was clean and comfortable. Kitchen was very functional. Location was close to town center. As we are of advanced age, it would have been nice to have had a hand rail at steps.

Great feedback - thank you for staying with us and so glad you enjoyed your stay. We will look into the rail!
Very nice older home that's been renovated, and they did a great job. It was very clean, especially considering it was pet-friendly. Nice open floorplan and our dog loved the back yard. Very close to downtown and makes a great walk. The neighborhood was quiet and relaxing. Highly recommend, especially for pet owners.

Thank you so much for staying with us. We appreciate the review and feedback. Welcome back anytime- great group!
Wow! This place was fabulous! Super clean and had everything we needed for a stay. It couldn’t be a better set up if you had a dog with a fenced backyard. Just minutes away from all the major beaches. Plenty of restaurants close by. The beds and bathrooms were comfy. Check in was easy and checkout was equally as problem free. The hosts were good communicators so we knew everything before we got there. We would definitely stay here again.

Thank you so much Juliet- you guys were great! Welcome back anytime and appreciate the great review. So glad you enjoyed your stay!
Our stay was terrific. The town is perfect, the house is exactly as described, and it is a short walk to downtown. Our dogs were welcome to join us at the house, which was a huge perk. There was plenty of room at the house, and we loved it so much that we booked an additional night after we arrived there. 10/10 recommend!

Thank you Danielle -you guys were great. Welcome back anytime!!
Nicely done bungalow. The street is in a bit of a transition with some houses in disrepair however we felt perfectly safe. Could use some paint touch ups like front steps. Front porch furniture was ok. Suggest adding a hand rail for the front and back steps. Kitchen was very nice and roomy.

The only thing that we did not enjoy about staying at this property was completely out of the control of the property owner. There was a neighbor across the street that loudly used profanity all hours of the day.

Thanks for staying iwth us - we will look into the neighbor situation, we have never heard that before and wonder if it was someone visting or something at the same time.
Place is in the perfect spot. Less than 5 minute drive to piers. Stores, taverns and eatery are walking distance. Neighborhood was quiet. A good amount of dogs in the neighborhood as well. Park for kids or shooting hoops right down the road. Really nice stay for us and our dog. Max was great. Any questions I had he answered, easy to talk to and communicate with. Made the stay that much better. We will use again for sure!
