Cute, convenient, and charming!
The good:
- Super cute place! I loved small charming details the host put into the RV
- So organized! I really appreciated all the clear directions and signs placed all over the RV
- Great location! It was about a leisurely 15-20 min walk to Newport Ave and the pier. I'm all about supporting local businesses and it was nice that I had so many diverse options so close. So many great food choices and breweries nearby!
- Host was a text away, very responsive and friendly. Also the RV shared property with the host's helper, so if you needed anything they were literally 3 steps away on the other side of a gate
- Safe! I liked that the wooden gate had an extra lock on the inside to prevent anyone from opening the gate
- The heater makes the RV super warm very quickly. I stayed during a rainstorm where temperatures dropped down into the 40s-50s, and I was very cozy
The bad:
- Let me just start off saying that I'm the idiot. I really didn't expect the toilet to be a camper/RV style toilet, and I'm dumb to think otherwise. I don't think I got the hang of it until the second day (even with the clear instructions, again I'm an idiot), and then I started stressing about getting charged for ruining the RV's plumbing. Anyways, this is all to say, don't be an idiot like me, staying in an RV means using an RV toilet. Please keep this in mind if you're planning on a romantic weekend with your boo, you better be comfortable with them
- The shower. Again, the listing was clear, this is an RV, so expect an RV shower. The shower worked, but it was tricky figuring out ideal water temp and water pressure (again I'm a dummy). Also I'm an average height at 5'6" and this stall was tight and cramped for me. Be prepared to wash with 1 hand while the other hand held the water above you. It was by far the least enjoyable part about the RV, so much so that I limited the number of showers I took during my stay. I can't imagine having a comfortable shower in this unless they were very short and liked the surprise of varying water temps.
- Cozy or cramped. The RV was great for my stay but I think it would get very cramped with a couple and small child, unless all you're planning on doing is sleeping here
Overall I really loved my stay here, even with the bad. And the bad was at no fault of the host and the listing was very clear.
Would I stay here again? Yes!
