    We had no downside issues.

    The location with the view of the ferry coming and going was wonderful both during the day and at night. The room was very comfortable and we loved the large windows with a view of the harbor. The property is very close to several restaurants we found and enjoyed. We are already looking forward to going back.

    Unfortunately pets are not allowed.

    Great view of the ocean especially wake up to it first thing in the morning. Location is one block from the downtown so there is a lot to do within walking distance.

    The steps to the unit are a bit hard to handle for an out of shape 83 year old but for regular folk they would be just fine. The sliding bathroom door was hard to close due to nothing to hold on to in order to get it out of its' place. You can circumvent that problem, though, by leaving it part way out or by being tall enough to pull it out by the top. The coffee in the room was not the best. The bathroom mirror is a bit too high and a short person can only see part of their face. This was quickly remedied by them providing a hand mirror. All in all it was a very comfortable and cozy spot

    The view was magnificent. I was able to see the harbor on a sunshiny day, a rainy day and a foggy day. Watching the ferries and the float planes come and go was wonderful. The spot by the window where you could stretch out and read or just watch the harbor activities was super and much enjoyed.

    Such a serene and beautiful place to stay for a getaway. I liked it was a close distance to the ferry dock and town to grab a food to go and go for a short walk. It was a pleasant stay! Hosts were super friendly and willing to help with any questions you have.

    A comfortable room to enjoy a quiet stay with a million dollar view. Jennifer met us at the property to answer any questions we had and proved to be a great source of information for eating out and sightseeing. All in all it was a great experience and we hope to return soon.

    The bed needs a frame. It’s on rollers so when you sit there looking at the view, it’s slowly creeping away from the wall. Had to push it back constantly. Stone steps leading down are a little treacherous. Parking is limited.

    Location is perfect. 5 minutes away from anything in FH. View is outstanding. watch the ferries arriving, harbor seals playing, sunrises. Couldn’t ask for better.

    A memorable, magical vacation!

    My husband and I traveled from the midwest-meeting my brother and his wife who traveled from Oregon and had the vacation of a lifetime-we rented the side by side units and it could not have worked out better! Of course the location was primo, the best. We enjoyed sitting down by the water for morning coffees and evening beverages, watching the harbor and the ferries come in and out. We never shut the curtains while we were there-the view is beautiful and at night the few lights on the water were like magic-and we could see the stars..and in the morning-the sunrise! There is everything you need in the kitchenette, tho' we didn't cook (too many great restaurants to choose from). Easy stroll into town-so close to the action. My brother brought kayaks and we rented a tandem and we could launch right from the dock. Host Ed is a delight-so interesting to talk to and full of great stories. Daughter Jennifer was just amazing with getting us settled and was on the spot with any questions (she even got us in a little early for check-in-so thoughtful after a day of travel). We loved this unique spot!
