Awesome location and a perfect amount of space for one or two people. Martha was a great host and we enjoyed the amenities offered. Not the best fit if you dislike dogs or want a private, separate entrance.

The property is beautiful. The home is well kept, the landscaping is wonderful. We stayed in the upper studio and it was furnished with a kitchenette with everything clean and working. Check in was flawless, our host met us upon check in, showed us to the upper studio and told us to let her know if we needed anything. We did not because everything was furnished and so inviting. This place is a diamond.

We were in Port Austin for a wedding this weekend. Martha was a wonderful hostess, very kind and helpful. The place was clean and comfortable. We would recommend for a couple to stay also not bad with another couple that doesn’t mind a futon!! Two dogs, Blu and Scoobie bark a lot but are very friendly and super cute. Within walking distance to the farmer’s market, beach and bars/restraunts. Great location.

Our stay was not for leisure (traveling for work) so our schedule did not allow us to take advantage of what I’m sure would have been wonderful breakfasts. Everything was as expected from the listing. Would recommend for a relaxing getaway.

Caveat Emptor !!!
If you are considering renting this unit, I suggest you ask the owner to send you pictures of the inside of the “shower” before committing.
In addition, I would also suggest you ask for exact dimensions of the shower stall, width and depth. Also, the height of the “ceiling” from the highest point and lowest point.
The shower is built into the underside of the roof.
That is, the bottom of the roof is the ceiling of the shower.
As the roof slopes down, so does the ceiling in the shower.
I estimate the highest point of the ceiling is 5’ 11” and
slopes down to 4’ at the lowest point of the ceiling.
At the point where you step into the shower I estimate the ceiling height to be 5’9”.
If you’re taller than 5’ 9” you will have to bend over to shower.
However, it should be noted that the owner does graciously provide a little brown plastic stool to sit on if you prefer sitting while you shower.
Failure to speak to or post photos of the shower is a
willful and egregious “misrepresentation by omission” !
The owner does not want you to see this shower!
The owner charges a premium rental rate for this unit and the unit itself is unremarkable and mediocre at best.
If lack of transparency, paying a premium rental rate
for a mediocre unit and sitting down to take a shower are
not a problem for you, then perhaps you’ll be happy there.
