We enjoyed our month long stay in Joe’s apartment. The location couldn’t be better. We walked everywhere. Initial minor issues were quickly addressed & resolved. The shower was great. In situ washer & dryer was a huge plus. Upgrades to kitchen supplies & furnishings would be a welcome improvement but overall a very satisfying stay.

The property description used the words "Charming, Elegant, Luxury." It may have been at one time but now "old and tired" would more accurate. Some appliances did not work, the ancient keypad door lock was awkward to use, and the furniture could stand an upgrade. However, being able to walk to the beach and downtown made up for some of these shortcomings. All things considered, we had a positive experience at a reasonable price.

Response from VrboOwner on 16 Mar 2026
All of our appliances work, although we installed a counter-top microwave oven. There was a problem with the washer & dryer, but before our appliance repairman came this guest was able to fix the problem. This is the first time any guest compained about our keypad door lock. I installed a new battery, so it works perfect now. If there ever are any problems, then we take care of them immediately! Thank you, Joseph Garrie
