Perfect for Navy graduation
The place was very conveniently located for our sons Navy graduation. Close to stores and restaurants. All the amenities we needed and more . Loved the thoughtful touches such as coffee supplies, bathroom supplies and even sealed toothbrush/toothpaste combo (which came in handy for my daughter who had forgotten hers). Our son was so pleased to be able to take a quiet shower and wash his clothes that he had come here with. We had a couple of questions during our stay and the host immediately responded. The beds were comfy with lots of extra blankets. More than ample parking options. And plenty of seating for our family to sit around and visit (3 of us stayed here, our son and another family member came to visit during the days). Great experience all around.

Navy graduation 6-20-24
Everything was phenomenal. We enjoyed the location. The property was great just the perfect size. The only thing was that in the description and online and never mentioned about stairs, and how steep they are. I had a toddler with me and it made me very nervous that she would start climbing those stairs without us noticing it other than that we enjoyed our stay thank you so much

Great stay
My son graduated from Navy Boot camp, this was about 6-7 miles away. It was a perfect stay for my family. My recruit was able to sleep in his own bed. Great location. Every amenity was there if needed. The House had enough space and was very very clean. We plan on coming 2-4 times over the next 6 months while my so. Is at A school and we will stay here again. Thanks Kelly for a wonderful home to stay in. #NavyStrong

Lovely townhome
We enjoyed our little home away from home for 4 days. It’s close to naval base and beach, the kitchen is so well appointed with coffee and tea. All the dishes and pans and soaps are there already for dishes and small laundry load. Nice efficient washer dryer. Blow dryer and extra bath soaps and shampoos. Beds are comfortable. Linens soft. There are stairs but are well lit. Bbq area and furniture to relax a very nice. It’s private . It’s quiet. I’d recommend for a couple more than larger group. Host is quick to respond. Checking in and out is easy. Just follow rules. You’ll be happy here.
