"Stayed in the loft. Soooo cute. Perfect size for my husband and me. Definitely coming back. Cute view from the balcony. And kitchen was perfect size."
"Great little property, especially for the price. Super close to the water, restaurants, and shopping areas. Bed was comfortable, and room was a decent size. Would stay again."
"Great staff. I was greeted and checked in by a friendly young man. Very nice conversation with him. Unfortunately, I didn't get his name. Room was clean. Needed a little detail dusting. Comfortable. No wifi. That was ok by me. Loved listening to the seagulls...some with babies close by. And, of course, the "yelp, yelp" by the sea lions. The following day, staff member Jessica, asked if I needed anything. Also, very friendly. I stayed 2 nights. I plan on returning in a few months and will...
"Property was nice and location great. Blinds were broken and tv connection intermittent. Bed and bathroom very good. Not quite enough parking if you come in late."
