Excellent stay, much better than any of those large hotels (small rooms, etc)
Pros:

Location great, short walk to main st but just far enough to not hear the parties all night long. Really nice rooms with great palm trees view and pool. Appears secure, super secluded but yet close to all. Nicely set up kitchen.
It was like being at a cottage, the grounds were beautifully kept.

Cons:

Perhaps an electric kettle (had hot plate and not much counter space).

Our family had an amazing stay at Papa’s Hideaway!
Pros:

It was a tropical paradise! We loved the secluded setting, the pool, and the beautiful palm trees and tropical plants. The location was great, close to Duval Street, but it was very quiet and comfortable. It’s a place where you can fully relax. The apartment was small, like the size of a hotel room, but it worked fine for our family of 4. We loved it!
