We were a group of six that stayed in the house for 4 days. We chose the house based on the bed and bathroom count. The house is spacious and the location is great. We did notice that the bottoms of our feet were dirty after walking around on the floors. The floors may have been swept but certainly not mopped. We utilized the outdoor table on the side deck but had to clean the table and chairs before our first use. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and will certainly consider this property for our next visit.

Spacious house in great location. Property shows its age (and maybe high volume of renters?) in the condition of its interior and furnishings, but it's comfortable for an informal, beachy stay where you don't have to worry or fuss about the furniture or fixtures. Cute décor and artwork, lots of books and audio CDs. There's a bathroom for every bedroom, which is great for full-capacity rentals. We appreciated the beach and island equipment available in the garage. Check-in and check-out a breeze. Management staff responsiveness during stay (a couple of issues came up) was very quick.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall this house is older than expected and the kitchen is very small but the location i s great, 3 minute walk from ferry and 5 minute walk to downtown. Major construction starting every morning at 7am across the alley just a few feet away made for very early mornings.
