I was worried this property would be cramped, but it was surprisingly spacious for how small it is! It’s well kept, comfortable and has everything you need. The outside amenities were great as well. The location is good, neighborhood seemed safe and it was an easy walk to the cruise terminal. I would stay here again.

Disliked: Check-in
The property was clean and as advertised. There was a domestic issue with the neighbor and two men. One in a police car , the other laying in our front yard with blood all over him. According to the police and the other neighbors it happens often. We ended up not staying here. No type of refund but it was what it was. The property was cute but not a situation we wanted to be in the middle of to start our vacation
