We really enjoyed staying here, it was close to family and very easy to get to amd around town. This is our 2nd time we have stayed here. Definitely will stay here again.
Good stay, good house, pool could use some new paint soon and grass needs cut but other than that was accurate to listing and property management were great with communication. Would stay again!

The grass was mowed on your day of departure. It's mowed every 2 weeks. We did have some heavy rains since the last service, so some of it sprouted up faster than usual.
My Inlaws came into town and we were able to find them a place close to us and they loved the fact they were just around the corner. Definitely will try to get this place when they come back.

Thank you for booking them a stay with us! Come back anytime and receive a return guest discount!
We all had a great time and the property was as stated in the VRBO property description. The only thing that we wish was better was the mattress in the master bedroom... it was not comfortable at all, way to soft but if you like soft mattress then you will be fine.

Cove cottage
Property was fine. There is no dressers to put your shorts, underwear or bars. There is shelves in the closet but no lights to see in there. The bed blocks the closet door from opening all the way. The pool is dangerous. No hand rails steps invisible. Too much concrete and rocks in the back yard. No way to get shade during the day either. Won't re rent
Property was clean and comfortable. It was well stocked with what we needed. We felt safe for most part. It was a very quiet quaint neighborhood. It could use some updates on pool but otherwise nice. Cons: I didnt like the big sign in yard at all advertising that home was a vacation home. Made me feel a little uneasy. Also the owner or property manager showed up on a Saturday without prior notice in the middle of day. We was in pool and said he had to add water. He fumbled around a bit and made us uncomfortable and left. He never added water. Also it is soooooo far from panama beach. So book with 30 plus minute drive to main attractions. Its very close to mariana.
