  : The location was great and it is a nice little bungalow with a small, shared garden. There are some spots to sit, though the hammocks are a little broken.
  : We asked to stay an extra night and the property said that we could! Great! However they then went ahead and charged us an extra 50 dollars for a cleaning fee as if it was a new booking.

  : I wanted a place that wasn’t far from everything and didn’t have ridiculous parking or resort fees.Traveling with my wife we are a young couple who have stayed in just about anything from $5 hostels to $500 suites. The property and stay is exactly as described, nothing more. The area is fairly quiet but your neighbors might not be as the adjoining walls are thin. The WiFi isn’t so strong that you can stream without interference but good enough for basic web surfing. The floors were not clean and ended up with Walmart feet but in general the place was very clean. I moved the small tv from far away to a dresser closer to the bed so we could watch before we went to sleep. It’s fairly small for the room size.I loved the shower, the many windows, the ac for comfortable temp, the coziness, and the parking options. You literally park within 50 feet of your unit. It had more than I needed for a kitchen.Overall I have no major complaints and I would stay there again.
  : I like to have fresh air when I sleep so I would have the main room window open and the kitchen window for a good channel of air flow. Would have loved to see a security bar or something to place in the window seal so that a window couldn’t be opened wide enough for a person to crawl in. But this certainly is not a must need since the area is safe. Just would have made me feel more comfortable sleeping with windows open.

  : The location was perfect. I enjoyed a two room unit with a private door, porch, and full kitchen.
  : I didn’t like the size of the bed but understand the limitations of the space. I would have preferred the bed higher off the floor. Also the couch being in the bedroom veas the ideal but to make the space work there was no other option. Lastly I missed the no cable tv. I have cable so I didn’t have membership to the services like Hulu ect which were on the TV.

  : Separate cottages, felt safer during Covid - don't have to interact with many people like at large hotels. Interior looked like new / just renovated. There's everything you need on site and stores are in 5 minutes driving. There are also few nice restaurants in 10 minutes walking.
  : The surrounding neighborhoods are sometimes a bit scary looking, but the cottages are located in a good neighborhood. Somewhat not clear of how to get housekeeping if needed, but broom and paper towels were present and could be used if needed.
