This is a very nice small house, which is a block and a half from Havana's and the heart of town. Just across from the carnival, boardwalk and beach. A/C is cold, comforters are warm and beds are comfy. Bring your own soap for showers, laundry, and diashwasher. I would stay again.

PERFECT!!

The property was exactly as described. It’s apparent the linens, towels were done by professional service. Beds were comfy, with extra pillows and blankets included. Location is perfect! Just 2 blocks from boardwalk, saving us parking fees! And the outdoor shower was AMAZING!! Dog friendly with a fenced in backyard!!!

Awesome little bungelow

We were very happy with the property. The fenced-in backyard was sooo convenient for our dog to have free reign from the house to the outside. The porch was a nice added feature as it blocked the constant wind and truly added to the living space. The kitchen was stocked with all needed accessories for cooking at home. We were very pleased with the cleanliness of the property and the amenities available. We will definitely plan to stay here again in the future.

Good for a short stay

The house is a very convenient, walkable location with a phenomenal air conditioner. The host required dishes be done, but doesn’t provide dish soap, and a few other basic amenities. Beds were not super comfy, but good for a few days. The backyard was very nice for the furry friend. Bring anything you may need to cook as it isn’t there (salt, pepper, trash bags, hand soap). Overall, pretty good stay, but could use a deep clean and small repairs.
