It was a great little cottage for a getaway. It was very clean. Getting in and out with an access code was very convenient. It’s the middle of the summer in Florida and the AC blew ice cold. The kitchen was great to cook some meals in. Even the water pressure in the shower was amazing. I will definitely be staying there again.

Clean and peaceful house. The AC kept the place cool and comfortable. Kitchen had all utensils and pans we needed to cook plus a full size fridge and stove. It is a very short walk to the beach. The owner was very responsive to questions. We had a great stay.

This was a great place to stay for our family of four. The location was right by and beach and the inlet. The A/C was super strong, and the shower had great pressure. The kitchen was also stocked with great cookware. The only bad thing was that the beds had sharp hidden corners, and we hit our shins on them a lot, so watch out for that if you go!

Nice, quiet location. No loud neighbors to listen to through the night, and the water pressure is excellent! We liked the ground level laundry room because it provided a secure, locked place for us to store our bikes when we weren't using them. Cottage is walking distance from the beaches. Front porch swing is very relaxing, although the weather didn't cooperate with us and we weren't able to spend much time on it. Description says it will sleep 4, but with the one bath 4 people will be a little cramped. It was great for a couple, though.
