We had the most wonderful time staying at Pat's place. It was the perfect size - small, but cozy and spacious in the living room area, with plenty of outdoor seating space! It was better than what we expected and we loved that it was so close to nearby grocery stores and Downtown SB. We can't wait to come again!
