Beautiful property, centrally located to the Funk Zone in SB. Everything including the beach, bars, coffee shops, resturants and harbor are a super short walk away. The house itself was so cute and clean with everything you could need and more! They even had a foot massager that was heaven sent after two days of being in heels for wedding festivities! The highlight though, is the patio over looking the canal that provided the most amazing sunset views. So beautiful. ![SB Harbor](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/6ee84848-660f-4c74-8890-16820e69d220-1748831143785.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Warf](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/51f1f453-9ef0-4704-846c-9a8e5ba17af6-1748831184833.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Street view](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b70bb7ef-01cf-497c-b8e6-6fd39c828fbc-1748831219567.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Melissa T.

Sandy came immediately when there was a kerfuffle with check in (another guest mistakenly took our unit) and rectified the situation! Shower is tough for tall folks but everything else is fabulous! ##### Lori S.

Relaxing and enjoyable deck and rooftop area ##### Kathleen B.

Everything in the unit was as stated in the online booking material. Quiet. Occasional train which I thought was no problem. Beds are excellent. Kitchen as well stocked. Thank you. ##### Jeffrey A.

My husband and I spent 4 nights here and really enjoyed the location and the bed was very comfy. The shower was too small but we made due. The property was in need of some maintenance and Sandy was attentive to it. The roof top gardens were amazing and Sandy was very informative about it and we are very interested in purchasing some towers for growing our veggies on a condo deck when we retire. It was a pleasure staying here and we think it was meant for us to do so😜 ##### Lynne R. Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2019 ---
