8 / 10Excellent·May 2026
The host was very friendly and accommodating helping us to connect to WiFi and to do laundry. The bed was comfortable and the shower was strong, but a bit tight. Great for a couple or single.

What an absolutely relaxing little holiday. The place was sweet and it reminded me of the perfect apartment you would want right out of college; and the furnishings were bespoke. Marty was a fantastic hostess, and I was sad to leave. In fact, I tried to extend it and some wise guy had already rented it! I will return. Thank you so much Marty for your lovely home.

This is a lovely place in a quiet neighborhood where my wife and I have stayed several times. It's within walking distance of the beach, parks, and restaurants. The host is very responsive and helpful. There is always street parking either right in front of the unit, or within a block. We're already looking forward to another visit.

Non existent communication with the Host Marti McCune. Before arrival I texted her for address to this VRBO as I had not received info after booking weeks in advance. She never responded. My husband searched the listing map and found the approximate address and we drove up down streets til we recognized place from photo. There were w handmade political signs on sidewalk in front of house and we hoped unit still rented to us. No one in main house, no signs, markers etc to identify location apartment so we walked thru open side gate to see another open gate to backyard area? and a side door which was agape and found keys on kitchen counter. This was our unit as it matched listing photos.Never heard from or saw anyone entire 4 nights we were there or after until today, 4 days after departure. Bring your own coffee, tea, sugar/cream etc as none provided. Bring your own bottled water too if used and soap, as only one tiny sliver of packaged soap provided.
