I didn't like this property or the manager at all. It was the worst experience I have ever had with accommodation. Don't go there!

Cute little place
I had a good stay here. The place is a little small, but it was perfect for just me. I would have loved somewhere that I could put my clothes other then my suitcase, but the place was very clean. The mattress was a little squeaky, but I never had any problems with the internet or the AC. Overall it was a great stay.

The AC was not working properly in the bedroom and it was very hot when we arrived. The front porch had boards that are loose and sticking up and unsafe when arriving after dark. The stairs are hard to manage with luggage and any physical issues. Photos did not show the amount of stairs.

At the end of the day for the price this place is amazing. I will admit it is an older home so not all of the windows are fully covered, you can see some of the paint peeling, the AC did it's best but definitely not as good as a hotels, and while each room had their own locks (which i liked) the entry ways locking system concerned me a little. At first i was very nervous someone could just break down the door. At the end of the day we had an amazing time and we did love the room. These are just a few things I think if they were to improve would make it absolutely perfect. I would come back again but probably stay in a different unit if possible, just to try something else.

This property was close to the strand and easily accessible if you don’t have issues with stairs. It was clean, inviting and comfy for my sister and myself. Quiet area as well. There are 4 units but we never saw the other guests even though we knew there were others there.

Cute and convenient!
My wife and I came to spend our honeymoon here and it was wonderful. Super clean and a couple blocks from the strand (5 minute walk) Shower is definitely for one person, but okay pressure. Had neighbors but didn't hear them in the suite. Make sure to bring dishsoap(,trash bags(not provided)) and a big tray/bowl for crawfish! Not many plugs either so bring an extension cord as well! All amenities that were there were of good quality (dishes, kuerig, freezer, dishwasher, etc)

The a/c worked really well which was great. The bed was a bit hard and there wasn’t a comforter so it was a bit cold at night. Everything else was wonderful and we would definitely stay here again. Thank you!

The Good, the Bad, & the Ugly
The location is excellent for an easy walk to all the Post Office & Strand shopping & restaurants. Also about a 10 minute walk to the historic Bishop’s Palace & the beautiful Sacred Heart Catholic Church. The neighborhood is block after block of historic homes, and a scenic 10 minute walk to the Mosquito Cafe & Sunflower Bakery. It’s only a few minutes drive to the Seawall & beaches. The bed is comfortable, not too soft or too hard. There is a great assortment of nautical/beach decor. Nice big kitchen for cooking with lots of counter space! Unfortunately only one small frying pan & griddle pan that I did not feel safe using, so I bought a set of 3 frying pans for the next guest. No cookie sheets or roasting pan. No wine glasses or large bowls, just small bowls. Only one empty ice cube tray in the freezer when I arrived. No potholders or dish towels found. No longer set up as pictured online. Unfortunately the large heavy couch was moved to another wall & now completely blocks access to the closet & outside porch. Large areas of peeling paint around bathroom door. This door also does not have a doorstop so hits the wall when opened. I put the trash can behind the door to protect the wall as you can see it’s been repaired. Overall I did enjoy staying here for the location, safe neighborhood, and many tv options such as Netflix & Hulu. Loved the aquarium channel on when I arrived! It could be an even better place to stay with a little more attention to some of the details. I would have liked the owner to be more responsive to email as I had some questions about the departure instructions.

Clean, roomy, full kitchen, all the comforts of home. Road construction made parking not as accessible, and would have been nice if the kitchen table had 4 stools instead of 3, but we managed. Thank you for working with us, it was a great weekend and we really enjoyed the stay!

Wonderful getaway
My wife and I were celebrating our Paper Anniversary (as we didn't get a honeymoon because of COVID). This was a perfect location. Close to everything. Beautiful and secure. We had one minor issue, and it was handled immediately. If I HAD to complain about one thing, it would be the parking, but that was mostly caused by road construction.

No cups for coffee. Side of stove very dirty. Pillows hard. Needed better shampoo and hair dryer. Suggestions to make the place better. The location is the best part of the rental.

Perfect place!!
Me and a friend stayed here and absolutely LOVED it!! The unit is clean, comfy, and the perfect size for two people. Some of the places we went were the Sound Bar, the Strand, and Bishop's Palace, and the house is just a short drive from all of them. I definitely recommend and look forward to staying here again myself!!

Perfect location!
This was the perfect location! It took us no time at all to get to the Strand and other locations on the island. The unit itself was a great size for 2 people (and could also accommodate kids on the sofa, if needed) with a fully appointed kitchen (supply-wise) and bathroom. It was a super clean with great water pressure in the shower and air conditioning units in each room. The host was very gracious and check-in/out was easy. Already thinking about our next stay there...

This rental is a hidden gem! It’s on a quiet street and close to all the fun. We’ll be back again!
This house was perfect for our short trip and family of 3. From the get-go, the property manager answered all my questions quickly and even during our trip was very accommodating. The unit we stayed in was furnished very nicely and had everything we needed. The a/c units work really well and kept us nice and cool. Loved that the couch folded out into an extra bed. The parking was good as the house is located on a corner in a quiet East End neighborhood. It’s also close to The Strand, Fisherman’s Wharf, and is only a few blocks drive away from the Seawall. We will definitely be renting here again in the future!
