Relaxing and inviting
We had a great stay. It was super clean and well supplied. Lots of outlets for our electronics. The breeze was amazing and we enjoyed the outside patio. The beds were very comfortable. We did use the heat and fireplace a few times and it kept everything warm and cozy. Close to the water and shopping. We would definitely recommend this wonderful place and hope to return again.

Great location
This was perfect for a quick get away when we wanted to be on Balboa. About 1/2 way between shopping and the ferry and only a few houses from the little beaches, it was ideal!

Cozy and Complete
What a surprisingly comfortable stay! The beds were bigger and better than expected and we loved having space to hang and spread out our “stuff” on the many shelves and nightstands. Well equipped kitchen and enjoyed the patio BBQ. The fireplace was a nice touch. Look forward to returning!
