Lives up to what it was intended for - sleeping and within walking distance of what the Island and Peninsula have to offer. Good mattress; everything was functional; quieter than I had expected. The place could use a few touch-ups here and there, but all-in-all I was satisfied with my stay.

Such a great location- steps from the ferry and bayside beach. Super cute studio - pictures are true. Walk to shopping and restaurants. Mitch was awesome about communication and place was spotless. We even were allowed to use washer/dryer. Beach chairs & tiwels included!

The unit that is depicted on this page is not the unit I rented. That aside, Overall the unit was clean and well taken care of. However, for the first threee dys the TV was of no use to me and I requested help and it was not until the third day that someone came out and recognized that the owner had turned off his subscription.

Perfect for a short stay!

Exactly as described and great location! We had a nice, quiet stay. Host had shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in the shower and blow dryer in the bathroom. There also were beach towels, a beach bag, and beach chairs available to use. The shower itself was quite small but think that is par for the course on the island in general. Would stay again!

Check in was super easy. We were a little worried about the parking, but there’s plenty of it any given time of day! We enjoyed the cute little restaurant Todos Santos for breakfast and it was walking distance. Would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful Beach Studio

Loved the location. Loved the decor. Bathroom door must swells with the weather, but sticks. Shower faucet also needs some muscles to pull out. Loved the communication. I have already recommended it to friends and family. Thanks so much for the wonderful memories!
