The communication with the property managers was efficient and timely, the house was adorable, reliable, and quiet. We were staying out of town for a wedding and the rental provided everything we needed with the bonus of being near the water. Afforfable and definitely worth it. Highly recommend and definitely would go back again! ##### Abby H. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Majela M. Jul 1, 2025 ##### Majela M.

Aug 28, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Mother/Daughter Weekend It was a nice area but not quite as close as we'd hoped to St Joseph and other attractions. I'd like to give it a better rating but it was very dirty in some areas and definitely needed some repairs and updating. I'm okay with an older property but the uncleanliness really puts me off, especially when one has to pay a cleaning charge. ##### Tamara H.
