Inside, the space is thoughtfully curated with calming neutrals and soft coastal blues. Highlights include:

• Spa-style bathroom with soaking tub
• Walk-in closet with generous storage
• Strong Wi-Fi (ideal for remote work)
• Thoughtfully equipped kitchenette

The apartment is attached to the owner’s residence yet fully private, creating a quiet, boutique-style retreat in a serene residential setting.

Please note: The unit is accessed via a private exterior staircase and may not be suitable for guests with mobility limitations.

Well-behaved pets are welcome with prior approval. Dogs must remain on a leash (maximum 6’) while outdoors and may not be left unattended outside. Cats must remain indoors at all times. The hillside setting makes the home best suited for small to medium-sized pets.

4/10 Poor

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
I was never refunded for my last night. She told me to leave early, but never paid me back. There is absolutely no privacy whatsoever, it actually scared me how very unsafe this vrbo is. Everything that’s promised is not necessarily delivered. It is completely up to her. So, regardless what the website says, she will do whatever she wants. This was the strangest set up I’ve ever seen on a vrbo in my life! Unbelievable. Total lack of respect and actually keeping my money after I didn’t even get to stay my last Saturday night, just crazy.
