Cute little house for family get away

If you’re looking for quaint charm, this pet friendly house is for you! The house was clean, bright, and comfortable. The owners have done a fantastic job with indoor updates. We were so happy to be able to bring our dog along as well. The convenient location was outstanding.

Lake time

It was funny because we just toured Surf Ballroom right before check in. Took us back in time. Then we get to the house, same thing! So nostalgic and such a well kept property. Clean, had everything we needed, and only a few blocks from everything!

Cozy

The house was cozy and clean, in a conveniently located neighborhood. My friend and I were looking for a nice place to hang out in with our infants and we found it. Unfortunately, there were several necessities missing like bath towels and soap and we were unable to get a response from the host when he was notified via the provided email and phone number. The lack of communication from the host was quite disappointing. Thankfully, only minor things were missing and we were able to enjoy a lovely weekend catching up.

Great house, great spot! Within walking distance to downtown and the city park/boat ramp. For a smaller house, there's lots of space.

Comfy Home Close to Downtown

My family loved this clean, comfortable home close to shops, parks and the beach. Property manager responded quickly to questions. Our teenage son enjoyed having a space of his own.

Perfect for a girls weekend

The house was perfect for a girls weekend. It was very clean, close to everything and had all that we needed, including fans in each room. The historic charm of the home was also fun to see and experience. The bathroom is on the second story but that was fine for us. We look forward to staying again!
