Summary: The Sleepy Shack was perfect for me as a solo traveler. I especially liked how quiet it was and the bed was super comfy! I also enjoyed having a private outdoor patio area. The host was welcoming, available for any questions or concerns, and very responsive. The kitchen is well stocked, it’s in a great location close to a number of restaurants, gas station, drugstore, coffee shop, etc. AND it has good cold AC! Unlike most other VRBOs where I have stayed, there is no shampoo, conditioner, Kleenex or coffee provided so make sure to bring your own. Overall a lovely little place and I would definitely stay again.
