We stayed at Karen's place for four days. Karen was a great host from the start with constant communication about arriving in town to checking in. We arrived on a Friday late morning and got checked in around 1:00PM. Karen was there to greet us and provide a well put together packet of transportation options as well as places to visit and eat. The first day there we discovered the TV wasn't working. Karen quickly called in for repair and they were out Sunday afternoon and had the cable box up and running again. We woke up Saturday morning with a message from Karen that the hot water heater had gone out but someone would be out that morning to get it repaired. We left for the day so by the time we returned, we had hot water. Karen was kind enough to treat us to a very nice dinner due to the unforeseen issues that came up. The location was awesome in the fact we were literally a couple of blocks from the beach or canal. There was free transportation within the marina area. Parking was ok . It was busy as many people park on the street we stayed and headed to the beach. If we didn't need to drive we didn't. The only issues we had during our stay was the street we stayed on was a main street and the cars drove through the neighborhood at high rates of speed at all hours of the day and night. We slept with the windows open for the fresh air so we heard the cars all night. There are tenants who live above the unit as well as a shared wall within the unit so we could hear people talking and walking. We were out most of the day all weekend so really we only heard the noises at night. Karen was an awesome host and we appreciated her hospitality while we were there.
