Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Martha S. 31 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quiet neighborhood up on a hill but in need of alittle TLC. Tiny place. Kitchen and bath barely enough room to turn around in. I had difficulties with a couple of temporary problems: No chair to sit on - anywhere (landlord says it was out for repairs - but still... a temporary arrangement would have helped since nowhere to sit while putting on my shoes). Large heavy packages had been delivered... blocked the single small parking place..,too heavy for me to move much. Challenging to park. Told landlord, but nothing was done. Kitchen has no water supply. No directions for operating coffee maker and everthing in kitchen set up for very tall person (which I am not). Suggest landlord be at least a little attentive to guest needs. ##### Martha S. Stayed 2 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ann M. 23 Jun 2025 ##### Ann M. Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Richard K. 18 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quiet little getaway Cozy on the slightly cramped side. Ok for a quiet getaway not too far from the ocean. Check tide charts if you plan on enjoying the beach. Great host with excellent communication. ##### Richard K.
