We stayed over Columbus Day weekend with my parents, brother, two young boys, infant daughter and large dog. The house met our needs perfectly. The kids were in the basement, which had an extra little sitting room we were able to designate their play room so they didn’t wake up the rest of the house. The fenced yard was an amazing bonus for our dog, who could go in and out as she pleased. The roof deck was a lovely place to sit, though we had rain or high wind for a lot of our stay. I just loved the proximity to the bay beach. I grew up going to Kamar Village across the street but as we outgrew it, we began renting larger houses in town. It was so nice to be back here, especially with young kids. This might not be the house for you if you’re looking to go out partying in town at night-it’s a long walk along unlit, un-sidewalked streets. But if you don’t mind the walk or paying to park for the day (the lot at the monument is a good deal for 24 hours unlimited in and out), you’ll love this place.
It’s still a rental unit and has some of the characteristic rental-unit qualities. Thin walls, minimal carpeting, some damage to the walls and fixtures. The basement has a dehumidifier but has a slight air of damp. But it’s also one of the best-appointed rentals I’ve ever been to. We found all sorts of things we might not have elsewhere: spare batteries for the flashlight, balls for the dog, plentiful toiletries and cleaning products.
Will definitely be back!!
