Quaint Cottage

The cottage is located in a nice quiet neighborhood but only a short drive to the beach, casino and golf courses. Our dogs loved searching for squirrels in the back yard. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t warm enough to use the pool but it was very relaxing sitting poolside. Everything we needed was supplied a d the cottage was very clean.

Excellent stay at the cottage

100% satisfaction. Host was very attentive with periodic touchbase to let me know to just reach out if i needed anything at all. Nice and quiet location away from the main strip but close enough to everything you could even want to do! Would reccommend and will book again in the future!

Nothing Like A Winter Get-away @ Long Beach...

Jeff has a nice, safe, secure setup at his property. It is fairly close (3 miles) to the Gulf Coast and the downtown area of Long Beach. Restaurants, grocery store, and other shopping areas nearby.

Great Little Cottage

This was a great little cottage located in a cute little neighborhood. It was perfect for me and my daughters for a weekend get-away. It was beautifully decorated. The bedding was wonderful and the sheets were sooooo comfy and soft. I would definitely recommend this place and stay again if needed. My only suggestion to the owners would be a walkway from the yard into the cottage area.

Peaceful getaway

The cottage was so cute and spacious, the yard was great for our dogs, and the pool area was perfect for our family. Of course, the zipline was a big hit with my kids. The photos showed an outdoor kitchen we thought we would have access to, but that was an off limits area. However, the hosts DID provide a charcoal grill for us to use, which was perfect! We never stayed in a place with the owners right by us, so it was a little bit of a different experience for us, but the hosts were very nice. They even had a birthday card for my husband in the cottage upon our arrival. :)

Disappointing Experience

Upon arrival, my family entered the cottage and immediately knew we did not want to stay. The cottage and the grounds are not representative of the online description and photos. I informed the owner that we were not staying and requested a refund payment.

A very nice cottage

The cottage was clean and comfortable. The hosts were nice and informative. Our only issue was that we both have mobility issues and I would not recommend this to others with similar issues. Getting from the parking area to the cottage was difficult. There is not a paved walkway. One of us uses a cane and the other, a Rollator. Going over the tree roots was quite difficult. Then there are paving stones spaced out in the grass near the pool which were also difficult to navigate. Aside from that, a nice place to stay.

Perfect Place

This is my second time to stay at The Cottage at Pino. I was there for two nights. I travel alone often to the Coast to see family. One of the many things I like about this cottage is that is very safe and quiet. The hosts, Jeff and Shari check on me sometimes twice a day. It is a safe area for me to walk my dog anytime of day. I get plenty of rest more so than when I stay in a hotel because I feel safe being there by myself. I will look forward to staying at The Cottage at Pino again.
