The home has a fully equipped kitchen with stainless appliances. There is an oven/stove, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, toaster, blender, and coffee maker. There is dining area seating for 6 to enjoy a homemade meal.

The cozy living room has seating for 6 with a Smart TV. There are some board games available in the living area and some books in the bookshelf. We welcome you to relax or play a family game to share some laughs and make some memories. We also provide an Alexa which is paired with our software to provide you area recommendations, information about the home, and the ability to play music and answer questions.

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.

Family Fishing Trip

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

Pretty decent stay

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.
