This place was super cute, and comfortable. So many cute decorations in the home and cool art pieces. The neighborhood was quiet, clean, and safe. I walked up to the river one morning to enjoy my coffee at Scurrah's Landing. Short drive to downtown and beach. My mom and I were very comfortable staying here. I would recommend.

Nice quiet neighborhood, close to everything we needed and wanted to do, we will likely be back. The only complaint I would have is the loveseat and rattan living room chairs are beyond uncomfortable. I would recommend some updates to this room's furniture.
