Nice and clean, rental was easy. Quiet place with lots of birds and other wildlife including bald eagles. Nice access to the gulf just across the street. We hope to be back some day.

The ease of arrival was wonderful. Everything was clean and organized in the rental. The access to the fishing pier was wonderful. Also, being able to walk to the beach was perfection. The rental had all the daily needs - coffee maker, linens, dish soap, and pots/pans. We were able to watch the sunrise on the porch. We will definitely be back!

My new favorite place

Any one of these cottages at Scallop Cove is the best place to stay on the cape, especially if you bring pets. You wake up to the amazing sunrise over the bay and the sun sets over the ocean across the street. There is private beach access with this accommodation. Having the store right there is super helpful as well. Cute little place with a great back yard. We will be back!!

Great getaway in beautiful town

The home was perfect for myself, my husband, and two little boys. We had a great time watching the wildlife from the dock and back porch. The beach is a short walk from the cottage. My only suggestion was to update the pictures online as the home exceeded the expectation. Very clean, nicely updated, and comfortable. We are already planning our next stay!

Clean and Simple

All we needed. Bungalow was clean and view of the bay was beautiful. Only suggestion is to replace the ceiling fan on the front porch.

Great Location!

We had a wonderful stay! The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our own meals so after stopping at the Piggly Wiggly on the way in we didn’t leave the Cape until we checked out. Scallop Cove is literal steps away with a small selection of grocery items and even some beach gear so anything we decided we needed we just purchased there. We rented kayaks and bikes from San Flea rentals which we used almost daily. The sunrise from the back screened porch and deck was breathtakingly beautiful. And an easy walk across the street puts you on the beach. As for the home, it was just what we needed. A nice cozy place for the 2 of us. The outdoor shower was great for getting the sand off too! We enjoyed our stay and will be back!
