Dec 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Excellent property! Owners were so responsive, helpful & generous. Place was well appointed, cozy, an easy walk to downtown, the water, the chocolate factory, distillery, winery, the lights & a trolley stop right up the street. Highly recommend to families & close friends. Only tiny mention was the open space above the bathrooms & bedrooms where a transom window would be; possibly for airflow but could hear outside the bedrooms, bathrooms have vent fans so there is noise cover. It worked out perfectly for our close nit group & the place was just as pictured & described, awesome hot tub! Would stay there again, DEFINITELY! ![Nights of Lights pic](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/cfb72fc8-091c-4fc6-8875-6f1908cbc6d3-1765397403486.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![Large Cross seen from our boat ride to see the lights](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3d62123a-e541-4168-a35d-bd5bfd2305c5-1765397439567.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Cherise L.
