This was a great place to stay! Brought our dog up for an extended weekend and this container home was a perfect fit! Highly recommend this place to others. Easy to find, close to many restaurants and an easy trip to the beach. Thank you for the great accommodation! Container was really cool, we really enjoyed it. Would definitely stay again if I’m<br/>Ever in town We had a wonderful stay at The Container. Tom was extremely attentive and had a new fire pit dropped off very quickly when the listed one was missing. The place was great, with a pretty well-stocked kitchen and a great bed. We also appreciated how many streaming services were logged in on the TV! One suggestion is to get a curtain for the living room doors. It feels a little eerie at night to have such a large open window next to a patio without a fence. To be frank, the area is not the nicest and some more window security would make it feel more secure. Other than that, a fantastic stay and such a well done container home!
