(4 1/2 stars) This is an amazing place to stay for the weekend. Beautiful view from the deck of the bay and beach beyond that. Great for large groups and the perfect venue for preparing a nice meal on the grill and relaxing outside. Excellent location next to fun bars and about a 15 minute walk to the beach.
My only issue is the layout. It’s very tall and narrow. The garage is on the ground level and right outside is the bedroom with 4 beds (two bunks). The next floor up is the entrance from Haines and the three bedrooms. Third floor is kitchen, living room and balcony. Roof has the hot tub. There are three bathrooms- two full inside the bedrooms on the second floor and a half bath next to the kitchen on the third floor. This means that guests staying in the bunk beds on the ground level have to climb two stories to get to the kitchen to use the bathroom (unless they go through one of the bedrooms). Same goes for groceries from the garage to the kitchen. You will be constantly going up and down the stairs (if you have guests who might have an issue with stairs do not stay here). Also, the ground floor has no windows and is very cavernous for people who are staying down there.
Otherwise, I think this place is beautiful and a great option for the weekend. Alain was very responsive and a great host. Also, sparkling clean as people have mentioned.
