Great stay

Property was a great fit for our family. Three separate sleeping areas was perfect for our extended family. Kitchen worked out well, and the location was close to all that we wanted to do and see. Thanks so much!

Disliked: Cleanliness

Very disappointing! Unclean and in disrepair.

Within the first 2 hours of our stay had major issues, stairs to apartment in upper section rotting out and unsafe, broken glass ornament left on patio table, and broken toilet seat. Then more to come. Tried to scramble eggs but fry pans had black pieces on them that got in the eggs so threw them away. Keurig for coffee didn’t work and shower curtain was moldy and my children were afraid to bathe kids. Oh and the leg fell off the couch so child fell down when couch fell. Thankfully she was not hurt. Closing door and trim above fell off. The property managers were responsive and fixed toilet seat and couch and trim and brought new Keurig, pans, shower curtain and blankets. The ceiling in kitchen had food spattered on it and floors were not very clean. The whole place needed to be inspected and shut down for repairs and cleaning. I have rented so many times from VRBO and never have I had so bad a place to stay in and paid so much. The tub upstairs had been lpainted and chips of paint were coming off in patches.The recycle can outback was 3/4 full so had no room to put ours in it. Also the garbage was not taken out in a timely manner.

We rented both the cottage and the bungalow and it worked out great for our family!

We had a great experience renting the cottage & bungalow. It allowed for privacy when wanted and then a space to all come together. Location was perfect to walk the island, grab the ferry & enjoy the Holiday Lights!

Great location

Great location- easy to get to ferry,. We used our bikes to get around since the streets gets busy and we had no problem parking by the unit when we arrived. Set up was perfect for our large group using both units.
