The Beach Cottage We Have Dreamed Of

We loved our time here. Loved that we could see the water and hear the surf and have toes in sand in a heartbeat. Loved chilling on the deck. Al & Donna were great! We hope to return.

Family vacation

From the moment we got here Donna and Al were very accommodating! This is a nice property with beautiful views in a perfect location. The beach was very quiet and under a 100 steps away. Lots of shops and many different restraunts within waking distance or a short drive. Would recommend this property to everyone! 🙂

Our family stayed for a week at this beautiful beach cottage, and we absolutely loved it! Donna, the owner, treated us with so much kindness and care she’s incredibly friendly and sweet, and made us feel right at home. The cottage was very clean, cozy, and just steps from the beach. The view was absolutely gorgeous, and the location couldn’t be better, close to great restaurants and stores. We had such a peaceful and relaxing stay, and we can’t wait to come back!

Perfection!

The hubby and I rented the top floor for a Monday-Saturday visit during the second week of September. First, the place was spotless, had everything we needed, and the view from the balcony was wonderful (and gave us protected viewing during a storm from hurricane Francine). Second, the timing of our visit was perfect, since it was mostly older tourists. There is a 4-story hotel next door, but that gave us more to watch as we sat on the balcony. Third, the beach is...well, literally right there. You have a private gate exiting the backyard, which puts you on the short wooden walkway, and you're on the beach! Also, it's centered between, and far away from, the condos, so this section of beach was pretty empty. Fourth, Al & Donna were wonderful hosts! She checked in on us during the big storm, and Al came over to help us figure out something technical with the TV. Just a great, relaxing visit, and I highly recommend this second floor rental!

Amazing

This property was amazing. It was directly on the beach with great views and in a good location. The beach was not crowded, made for a very relaxing trip. The owners are great to deal with and provided everything we could have needed. We will definitely be visiting again. Thank you for a great experience.

Wonderful stay

Check in was great we all got to meet Donna, the owner and later her husband Al. They are as nice as can be and were helpful and responsive. The upper unit has an amazing view with plenty of seating on the deck. It was so clean and had everything we needed. Only steps to the beach! It’s a great location nestled in a small strip of beach made up of homes rather than high rises. This makes the beaches nice and quiet. I would recommend to anyone.

7th Year Anniversary Celebration

My husband and I loved our stay. The views are amazing and you couldn't beat the 40 foot step walk to beach. Donna and Al are warm, friendly and thoughtful hosts. They remembered our anniversary and showed up with a sweet surprise that morning. Donna and Al we're looking forward to staying in the cottage our next trip to PCB.
