The house is exactly as pictured with a great yard as well for our dog to run around. House was tidy and we loved sitting on the covered front porch. There is also a park at the end of the block as well. The house is close to the waterfront and there are lots of restaurants and shops within easy walking distance.Our host (Gail) was very responsive as well. I highly recommend this rental home.

This is a grest place to stay especially if you have a dog. Fenced yard, footsteps from Franklin Park. You can walk almost everywhere especially to the waterfront and restaurants. It is very clean and she has stocked it with everything......much better than a hotel. The decor and cottage layout is charming. I am hoping to stay there again. Communication was great!

About the host

Hosted by Gail Bostic

Host profile image

My name is Gail. I own Sis’s Cottage and I am your host.

Why they chose this property

I chose this property because it was the perfect spot. One block away from most everything. I can sit on the front porch and listen to entertainment happening in Franklin Square Park. I am in walking distance to about anywhere I want to go. It is one block off the main street so it has the privacy I want if i chose. It is in the heart of town but also gives you the privacy from the hustle bustle. It is just a perfect location.

What makes this property unique

i bought the house completely remodeled so all I had to do was add all the fun stuff to the house. I liked the fact the master bedroom was downstairs and 2 other bedrooms were upstairs. I loved the location, the size of the house was perfect and the circular drive with the beautiful oak tree in the center just capped it all off.
