After looking for several weeks for a place around PB and being disappointed by the lack of affordable options, this popped up and I was pleasantly surprised. I traveled with my sister and her family and this place was perfect. 3 bedrooms - two for each couple, and one for the kids (had three beds - trundle bed + rollaway).
The property: The House was very cozy, homey, and has such great outdoor spaces including the patio in the front, the back nook behind the master bedroom, and the side of the house which has the grill, two tables seating four, and a few chairs as well. Colleen put so much thought into the place, its decor, and layout.
Location: This was the perfect location for us as it is walking distance to Crown Point Shores which has a beach to the bay. This is a great beach for young kids too as there are no serious waves or undercurrents and the temperature was not too cold. They have a basketball court, a playground, and people out/about having a great time - fun people watching. Accessible bathrooms and showers in that area is also a plus. We loved the boardwalk along the water to just walk around in. Of note - we saw a party next to us at the beach who got ticketed by police for having alcohol, so beware. There's a lovely coffeeshop that's walking distance called The Grounds coffee shop which was a quick walk - we went every morning and I enjoyed the Salted Honey Latte.
Amenities: Along with a full stocked kitchen, shampoo/conditioner/body wash, a huge plus for us was the beach chairs and beach umbrellas which we used everyday that we were there. Good quality too! She also has a wagon so you can use that to pack up all your stuff and walk there, but we ended up driving as it was easier to load the car and kids. I really appreciated the pack n play she had for my toddler, and a baby gate so we can keep her out of the kitchen when cooking.
I can't say enough good things about the place, but what really made the experience was Colleen's hospitality. She has these cute notes around the house to let you know where extra blankets are, the pack n' play for out toddler, and specifics for the house. She even made us a welcome basket with granola bars and a word search for the kids and got sand toys for the kids - personalized with their names! They loved this! She picked lemons from her tree and set it on the counter for us to enjoy during our trip. She allowed us early check in and late check out as there were no guests before or after us. She is super fast in responding and made sure that we were comfortable and got in safely.
5 stars and would recommend this to anyone.
