2 day stay
My husband and I picked this place because it was very close to the beach and the Eastern Bike Trail. Lori responded very quickly to a couple of questions we had. She was great! We didn't take advantage of the Pier or much of the town since we were more interested in the beach and the trail.

Beachfront Off Season
The unit is essentially one room with a small bathroom attached. It was all neat and tidy. Very cozy. The bed was very comfortable. There was internet service. No place to cook. Did have a microwave and refrigerator. Small sink but no counter space. The owner was good with communication.

Good for the two of us
It was a clean place to stay and close to places we want to see. We stayed Oct. 16 to 20 and there were no restaurants open in the area that we could walk too. The only other thing we would have liked is for the place to be a little better stocked. Like more towels, Kleenex’s ext. We loved our stay and Lori was great to work with. Very responsive when we had questions.

Felt like home!
Starting with the booking, Lori was a perfect Host, reaching out quickly to give recommendations on things to see and do in the area. When we checked in, we were pleasantly surprised in just how cozy the condo is (& it smelled great, too!). Absolutely perfect for the two of us. We loved the outside seating area. It added to the living space for us because we spent a LOT of time relaxing out there, people watching. We knew about the train being so close, but really never even noticed it unless we were sitting outside. The beach being just across the street is so great, I felt totally safe getting up & walking over by myself to watch the sunrise. All thumbs up from us, we hope to be back!

Very Noisy
I would not recommend this place. The small studio is very noisy. Paper thin walls allow you to hear all the other people in the apartment building. Studio is on a main road which is also noisy and there is a train line that is directly behind the building which runs by often. The studio itself is the about the size of a normal bedroom. The bed was not comfortable as well. Also, the host and VRBO were not helpful at all when I brought up the noise issue and the train issue which was not mentioned in the listing at all. Both of them would not provide any resolution and stated the terms and conditions allowed for them to not provide any help. Make sure you read and understand the TOCs because the host and VRBO will not help and will use them. Overall would not recommend this place at all. The only positive is the studio is close to the beach. I would not book again. Find another place to stay.

Sorry
Very old. Big step up into bathroom. The appearance of the place when we drove up was not what we expected.Town was awful and deserted. The condo did not feel like much effort was put into refreshing it. Bed sheets awful. Sorry but not our cup of tea. Probably a busy place in summer with beach goers but not in September. It just felt creepy!

The property was great for us. We were visiting our son and his family in Portland so basically only slept there. It was quite small. If we were spending more time inside the condo, we would have been a bit crowded.
