Jason was a wonderful host and his space is beautiful! He was very attentive to items I needed during my stay and was kind enough to accommodate a late checkout to help me. He was even receptive to suggestions for future guests. I’m grateful for his hospitality and would definitely stay again.

Great place, very cleaned, peaceful, and quiet. Definitely worth it
The property was amazing!!! Tucked in a quiet spot just off a main road. It was easy in, an easy stay, and an easy out! The host went well above my expectations to communicate and make clear any part of the process. I will definitely stay again!!!

Way better than Puffin Inn
We stayed at Puffin Inn at arrival and were supposed to have stayed the day of departure but that hotel was very old, dirty and expensive so we cancelled the departure night and found this VRBO. It was so much better than the hotel. We were able to relax and hang out for the night instead of being stuck in a dirty old hotel room. Clean, easy to check in and a good end to our vacation.

Beutiful place
I love the neighborhood, it felt very safe and comfortable. Everything was great, the only thing that I would suggest is if there was a vacuum and/or broom that was accessible to make clean up a bit easier.
