Great stay! The place was spotless, cozy, and exactly as described. Easy check-in and a perfect location for visiting family in Pace Island. We’d definitely come back—highly recommend!

While the cold weather didn’t fully cooperate, the owner communicated with on how to turn the heat on. The accommodations were comfortable. The view was incredible. The upgrades were awesome. We hope to return to fully enjoy the water. This was a very serene and restful experience for me and my husband and our Shi Tzu.
6 / 10Average·Jan 2026
First, i want to say that the unut is absolutely adorable and the hist seemed very kind and responsive. I cant give this stay 5 stars for two reasons: 1) it seems as though the black tank has not been maintained properly and the smell was terrible the entire time we stayed.2) the main toilet kept popping the outlet into which it was plugged and had to be reset every time it was flushed. Sometimes I had to reset it several times before it would flush all the way. I understand why these issues couldn't be fixed while I was there, however, the host's response was somewhat flippant and was basically, "try flipping the breaker" This was extremely frustrating and took away a lot from my enjoyment of my stay.
