    My mom, friend, and I stayed here for a long weekend and it was perfect! Cute neighborhood, walkable to the funk zone and state street, and has a bonus rooftop garden. We would stay here in the future again!

    Beautiful property, centrally located to the Funk Zone in SB. Everything including the beach, bars, coffee shops, resturants and harbor are a super short walk away. The house itself was so cute and clean with everything you could need and more! They even had a foot massager that was heaven sent after two days of being in heels for wedding festivities! The highlight though, is the patio over looking the canal that provided the most amazing sunset views. So beautiful.

    A Beautiful place with the river behind and the Ocean almost in front. The rooftop garden is marvelous and a wonderful treat to sit up there and see the city and beach. It tok 5 min. to walk to the end of the pier to watch the sunrise. I wish I could share soe of the pictures here. Thank you.

    We had a nice stay here and it suited our needs perfectly. We were able to walk to State Street for dinner and to Chase Palm Park for our wine event. Our host responded quickly when I texted him. Looking forward to our next stay!

    Couldn't ask for a better host or a more enchanting and dreamy location. Sandy was always responsive and helpful. We loved every minute of our stay. Huge bonus that proximity to beach is unbeatable. Would love to stay here again in the future!!

    We had a great week at Chapala Gardens. The location is perfect, apartment had everything we needed including a new water filter (much appreciated filling our water bottles before heading out), the rooftop is amazing and Sandy is attentive and helpful. The pictures exactly match the apartment -- it's cute and comfy, bath & furnishings not updated, but we understood that going in.

    We had a wonderful stay . Easy check in process . Great communication with owner . The bed is really great. You can easily walk to the beach and to all the great restaurants nearby. The only negative is the parking the weekend there is only 90 minutes parking from 10 am to 5pm.
