Beautiful historic home. Close to all the fun stuff: downtown, ports, seawall, UTMB. The rail trolley runs right in front of the house. Trolley stop is a short walk down the street. Very comfortable beds, and a large kitchen. Would definitely stay here again.

Built in 1899, so expect aged and antique venue. The private pool was a blessing! Great experience near the beach, The Strand, the sea wall, and a ferry ride to Bolivar peninsula. We had a lovely family (3 generation) vacation.

When we arrived, we were unable to get the doors unlocked with the code. After getting into the house, I noticed that the living room furniture was filthy with stains. In addition, the shower handle in the master bath is close to falling off. Other than those things, the house was very nice. The beds were super comfortable and the location of the property was great.

The house was very nice and on a great street. Close to the beach and The Strand. The host was excellent. We would stay there again.

Neat home
We stayed for a few nights after a cruise. Was nice to be able to have a little yard, pool, and the ability to cook a few meals for ourselves. The home is in a neat area, the main road out front gets a little busy with night time noise. Easy to access and the owner was very responsive to any questions we had.

Beautiful historic home!
We chose this property because of it proximity to the historic downtown area. Everything was comfortable and the house had everything we needed. The kids loved the pool and our older kids appreciated that their rooms all had tvs. Plenty of space to eat, entertain, and relax.
