This is the cutest place and so convenient for a lazy weekend on the water. The bed is very comfortable. I do suggest bringing an hot plate if you’d like to cook but there is only one sink. So we chose to eat at “By the Bridge” and never had a bad meal. The service was great too. I’d definitely recommend this rental to everyone! (Except when I want to book it again!) Cole helped with our kayak rentals and he was the sweetest young man and so super helpful. 100% recommend this rental! Ps: bring your vinyls!! Chris Stapleton greets you in the record player but if you have vinyls, bring them!

It would have been better to have more than 2 cups for the coffee machine. It would have been nice to have an electric tea pot to boil water for tea or a french press coffee maker. the microwave is not the best to boil water. It was a good idea to use an old store front for a small apartment. The restaurant next store was nice for breakfast and being on the water was nice. I would replace the two bar stools and table with a round table and chairs, it would be easier to use.
