Liked: Cleanliness, check-in
Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy
While the stay was comfortable, there were too many other issues. Listing does not clarify that it is 2 separate units that do not connect. I was aware that there were 2 businesses also attached to the property. This wasn't an issue until we tried to park. Listing and check in instructions are not clear about where the driveway is located. Common sense dictated it would be the pull through driveway in the front of the property, but that was full of cars for the hair salon. All other parking in the lots around the side and back of the property have signs saying "You will be Towed". I called the number in the listing( this is a management co not the owner)and they weren't sure. So we left the property to go to dinner and when we got back the front driveway was empty so we parked there. Then in the morning the owner of the hair salon had blocked the driveway so we couldn't get the car out, came out of the salon to yell at us, then sent one of her employees out to accost us some more because the first time wasn't enough. All this was happening while I was trying to get answers from the people in charge of the property. Wasted a whole morning of my vacation dealing with this and waiting for them to call back(which didn't happen) I had to call them multiple times throughout the day. They did get the cars moved but no apology for the stress this caused. Property location is nice but there are too many other options to stay in the harbor. This one is not worth the hassle.
