Best part were the bikes available, we took full advantage with the TART path being right off the back of the property - headed downtown, to the beach, and breweries.

Aug 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Experienced Travelers This is a beautiful condo, very small but was perfect for my husband and & I and our two small dogs. It would not fit 4 adults, kids maybe on the sofa. Our goal was the Tart Trail, bikes & dogs and it was perfect for that. There’s a temporary issue with the AC, we weren’t made aware of so window needed to be open for that and it’s a ground level so lots of parking lot noise. We did buy the insurance, thank goodness because even though there was a known plumbing issue, which I immediately reached out to the owner about, we came home to a claim notification. IMO when there is a known issue and a renter reconfirms this, correct it on your own dime. We paid a lot of money to stay here. Disappointed in the response I received about that, so buy insurance or not and maybe she won’t make a claim. ##### Sandra C.
