Beautiful Historic Boulevard District Apartment

BreanneRating, 5 stars5 days ago

Hosts were very communicative and kind. The space was clean. Bathroom and living room are pretty tight spaces. Mattresses were soft, which I find comfortable and linens smelled fresh. They provided a lot of little touches like snacks and docking stations. They allowed us to check in early and were okay with a package for us to be mailed to their address during our stay. Neighborhood is in a convenient location and I felt safe to take a short walk to and around the nearby park and to restaurants.

A spacious living area features large windows allowing natural light to fill the space. A comfortable grey sofa is paired with a unique coffee table, while stylish dining chairs surround a white table. The kitchen area includes modern appliances and cabinetry.

LauraRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Ben was very responsive! He gave us great recomdations for things to do and restaurants. The apartment was well stocked and very clean. We loved the location. It is right off Main Street and we walked to shops, restaurants and to the river. We only had time for one night, but would like to go back for a long weekend. Definitely stay here! You won't regret.

The Candle Cottage in downtown Cape.

EllenRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

I’ve been booking John’s place for my trips to Cape for about 5 years. It is so peaceful and feels like being at home. It is always clean and is so comfortable. The front porch is perfect for relaxing and letting time slip past. The patio is great for soaking up the sunshine. Restaurants and shops are an easy walking distance, and it’s fun to stroll the neighborhood. And John is just fantastic. I highly recommend it.

Urban Cape Downtown Escape-The Rivertown Nook

KirstenRating, 5 stars2 months ago

Better than expected - this is such a lovely, well-appointed place. I came in for my best friend’s wedding. I hosted a breakfast the morning of and we all got ready there. It was fantastic! The cottage is located two blocks from the riverfront. There is so much to see there, so many places to eat. You can see the Emerson bridge right from the kitchen window. There is so much natural light!! Extremely warm and cozy. I would not hesitate to stay repeatedly.

A well-appointed entryway features striped wallpaper that adds depth and character. A vintage wardrobe stands prominently, and a cozy chair with a floral pattern invites relaxation. Natural light filters through the nearby window, highlighting a small table with snacks.

Centrally Located Historical Gem

TamarRating, 5 stars4 months ago

This home is an absolute GEM! From the time we booked our trip to the time we checked out, Wes and Janet were so thoughtful, kind, responsive, and helpful. From the decor to the amenities, and everything in between (e.g. ice stocked in the freezer, tons of appliances, amazing shower products, notes all around the house with details, toys for children upstairs), they have truly thought of it all. Their house was an absolute pleasure to stay at. It was child-friendly and we all (two families staying together) felt right at home. It truly had everything we could possibly have needed. Wes and Janet are incredible hosts, and this is an amazing place to stay! Highly, highly recommend!

Downtown Condo on the River

GrahamRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Michael's place in Cape G is a perfect place to stay while you visit. It's a block from the main drag with plenty of food and bars (check out the record lounge around the corner). There's a garage space, and the balcony on the top floor has views of the Mississippi. The apartment is clean and comfortable, it would be a good medium or long term stay if desired. The bed is comfortable, and the kitchen and bathroom are modern. We'd stay again if visiting.
