Please review our House Rules before booking.

We keep check-out tasks to a minimum. We only ask that you wash your dishes and remove your trash from inside the home.

If you leave something behind, we are happy to mail lost and found items back to you for a $35 Handling Fee plus the cost of shipping.

Overstaying beyond the designated check-out time may result in additional charges of up to 150% of the effective daily rate of your stay for each day (full or partial) that you overstay, as well as any other related damages, fees, costs or expenses incurred by us, such as our loss of a subsequent guest reservation or booking alternative accommodations for them.

Parties, events, and excessive noise are strictly prohibited. Guests must comply with all city and county laws, and all local noise and safety ordinances during their stay. Please keep noise to a minimum between 10:00 PM and 7:00 AM and respect the privacy and comfort of our long-term neighbors.

Great location!

Adam’s place suited our needs perfectly. The location was better than expected. Not knowing the area and just going by what I read, this quaint little apartment was in close proximity to everything we wanted to do. And being close to the airport was a definite plus since we left so early in the morning. Sights and shopping were all within 20 minutes. The apartment itself is small but perfect for a couple. The refrigerator is compact but, being a camper, this wasn’t an issue for us. The jacuzzi was an added bonus. The neighborhood is fairly quiet with the occasional train whistle or boat horn. Was not an issue for us as we’re used to sirens all day. Adam was very accessible by email and quickly responded to questions. He was genuinely interested in how things went. I would definitely recommend this rental for a single or a couple.

Cute little spot

Clean and has lots of little extra touches. The hot tub was a big win too! It's in it's own little enclosure, so always clean and available to use.
