The view was amazing from the little deck off the back. Great food just a short walk away. My only suggestion would be black out blinds and being able to turn off the fan on the ceiling. ##### Marguerite C.

The suite was quiet, nicely decorated, cozy and comfortable. There is a private sitting area with a partial view of the marina. I enjoyed hearing the sealions on the doc in the morning. The town is lovely with an excellent coffee house and bakery steps away. And a handful of options for lunch and dinner. I'd stay here again for a weekend getaway. ##### Erin T.

Close to shops and restaurants along the Cow Bay frontage. Nice local seafront walk. Kayak rental just a few steps away. We had a lovely relaxing overfed time. We even popped over to Bright Angel Park for a little swim in the river, and popped into the local Thrift store and found a cute little treasure for a friend who didn’t get to come! Do your research before you come, loosely plan, check when the places you want to visit are closed and then come and enjoy and relax! Maybe visit the Cidery on the way in, buy some to go… ##### Susan P. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rebecca P. 4 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful seaside tiny beach house Clean. Loved relaxing on the deck listening to the water, watching out over the bay. Had a little wrestle with the fold out bed, luckily the owner texted me tips until I had it sorted. Inflatable mattress was fine for one, imagine it would have been uncomfortable if there are two because it had lost its firmness in the morning. All up; great! ##### Rebecca P. Stayed 1 night in Sep 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carol R. 6 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Happy little stay Great location for mooching in local shops and cafes etc. We loved the outlook over the water and access to the deck (although access was shared with next door and we weren't fully sure if all involved were clear about this). The space is small but pleasant and full of character and we had all we needed. Communication with the manager was great. For us it might have been extra helpful to have found some simple written instructions inside the property with WiFi code and instructions for TV (which took us a while to figure!). Good value. We really enjoyed our stay, many thanks. ##### Carol R. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Mason H. 22 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy #### ok place Cute little space with a view of the morning heron. One of my main concerns is that the fire alarm was not connected so I connected it and found out why. It beeps every minute which could be fixed for the safety of the guests (you can hear the beep from outside the cabin). It would also be great if the space had more hooks to put a towel or jacket. ##### Mason H.

We had a terrible night sleep. It wouldn't stay inflated and it made our whole trip disappointing and frustrating. ##### John Stayed 1 night in Aug 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Janice M. 24 Sept 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### two nights pull out inflatable mattress didn't hold air until morning had trouble working the tv - difficulty finding news channels then would turn off before we were finished our unit was not sound proof so heard the midnight party in the adjoining rental ##### Janice M.
