I was nervous about a loft, but this was so comfortable. Cooked most of my meals with a well equipped kitchen. Bathroom is spacious and water pressure was good. Bedroom had a fireplace with 2 chairs. Great place to just be. Would have loved to use the balcony, but it rained most of my stay. Just book this place, you will love it!
This property and location was just as described and was perfect. It had a great view from the balcony, great options for sitting near the water, and was close to great restaurants. Loved the cozy boathouse loft and highly recommend it!
