We enjoyed our stay here. The place is not fancy or full of high-end furniture or cookware, but it met our needs perfectly. The lanai was pleasant and we enjoyed coffee there each morning. We had an incident with plumbing and the owners were prompt and attentive. It is about a mile walk to the hostoric district, bit we did it easily each night. Highly recommend for affordable accomodationson the harbor.

This property is truly a gem! Quiet and off the beaten path, but close enough to everything. The view is breathtaking, awesome sunsets. The hosts are wonderful; checking in to make sure everything is okay and if anything is needed. Offering ideas of things to do and places to see; I almost felt like we were family or longtime friends! So cozy and comfortable; felt like home! We didn't want to leave, and we'll definitely go back to this place!

This was my second visit to this property/different apartment. Although it was considerably smaller than my last visit, it had everything We needed for an enjoyable stay. As in the past, the apartment was super clean and nicely decorated. Cute back porch with great views/very peaceful. Close to the Winery and Distillery and a short car trip to attractions.
Wonderful, charming place. Quaint, clean, one bedroom/bathroom apartment. The house is split into 3 individual apartments. I would definitely stay here again. It’s a 15 minute walk to the downtown area. Walkable to multiple restaurants. The hosts are helpful and responsive when I had questions. Lovely home, wonderful hosts.

This little hideaway was perfect. My wife and I enjoyed our solitude, but we were still so close to the historic downtown area. It had all of the amenities we could need. Parking was well marked which we’ve had issues with other VRBO’s. Decorating with their own artwork was a great touch. Thank you so much for helping us have a great anniversary getaway. Would definitely recommend this place!!

The Harbor Island apartment we stayed in perfectly met our needs for a brief getaway to the Florida coast! We liked being slightly off the beaten path away from the downtown area, yet could get everywhere we wanted to visit within a few minute car ride or a lovely longer walk. Apartment was clean, comfortable, and Michael and Hyacinth were extremely responsive to all of our questions. Thank you!!!
