Norman's place is walking distance to some great restaurants- we ate out both nights we were there. The location on the water can't be beat. There are some issues with the house as far as deferred maintenance (it feels a bit "run down"- needs to have the windows washed, carpet cleaned/replaced, exterior paint, etc) but it was clean as far as the things that matter (linens, kitchen, etc) and we were comfortable. The view is FABULOUS, albeit through very dirty windows.
