Laundry is available with an on-site washer, and an ironing board is also provided. This setup is geared toward longer stays and simple self-catering.
Parking, pet policy & house rules
Free on-premise parking is available, but the driveway is not available for guest use because the owner may access the garage for boat storage; brief driveway activity may occur. The property is smoke-free with a stated $200 fine for violations, quiet hours are 10pm–7am, and parties/events are not allowed. It is pet-friendly with a $75 fee per reservation (up to 2 pets), no cats allowed, and extra fees may apply for unreported pets or damages.

Best for
This studio is best for solo travelers or couples who want a compact, self-contained stay with a private bath, kitchenette, and in-unit essentials like Wi-Fi, heating/AC, and laundry access. It also suits remote workers thanks to the dedicated desk-and-chair workspace and guest-mentioned fast Wi-Fi, plus a Mandarin location close to shops, restaurants, and parks. Pet owners (bringing dogs only) may appreciate the pet-friendly policy, factoring in the per-stay pet fee and rules.
Travel tips
Plan to get around by car or rideshare (Uber is specifically recommended), especially for airport runs and reaching restaurants beyond walking distance. Note that free on-site parking is provided, but the driveway is not for guest use due to occasional owner access to the garage for boat storage. Early arrivals or late check-outs are not guaranteed and may carry fees ($100 for 1–2 hours; $200 for 2–3 hours), so request approval in advance.
