"We LOVED our stay here! Fishing on the canal was one of our favorite things of our whole trip! Close to lots of great restaurants, the beach and more! The beds were very comfortable and the space was perfect for our trip!" - Stormi

"It was pristinely clean, decorated very tastefully and easy check in and out. Kitchen was fully stocked... Beds were very comfortable w luxurious linens and pillows... We enjoyed our mornings on the back terrace overlooking the canal... The neighborhood was very walkable, w tons of restaurants and activities nearby.. Overall this place has been my favorite experience and Tim was an outstanding host." - Amy

"We had a 10/10 stay... and cannot recommend it enough... The apartment was very cozy and spacious, and felt very private despite being a part of a larger unit... The apartment is also only a very short walk from the neighboring restaurants and the beach. Tim is an exemplary host who immediately flooded us with local recommendations and was exceptionally helpful when we had any questions or concerns.... We would love to come back again." -Polina

Everything was great. Checking in was smooth and easy. The host gave us great information before checking in. You are a short walk to the beach and good food is also just steps away.
