This cute little house actually has 2 separate bedrooms each with their own full bathroom. The yard is spectacular. Lots of pretty areas to sit and enjoy the setting. Our host was charming and very available for questions. Overall an excellent experience. Our two giant breed dogs enjoyed themselves too,

Liked: Location
Spacious place in a quiet yet central neighborhood. Clean and comfortable, although a little gloomy in some areas. The layout of different gardens and dog access didn’t work for us very well - the sunny yard adjacent to the kitchen and dining room was off limits for dogs, and thus, by default, us. The yard was also the main access route for Sarah to the rear unit so also not especially private. Maybe I should have read the description more closely but this was not explicitly mentioned and did come as a surprise.

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback. I’m glad you enjoyed the quiet central location and found the home clean and comfortable. I appreciate your comments regarding the garden layout and dog access as well. The property does include multiple outdoor spaces for guests to enjoy, including the front yard with grass, a teak table & chairs and direct access from the front bedroom and living room French doors. Many guests with dogs do enjoy the sunny side garden area as well, and typically just bring their dogs inside or to the front yard briefly if I need to pass through to access the rear unit. I always try to do so as discreetly and infrequently as possible to respect guests’ privacy. I appreciate the feedback and will look at making the layout and shared access arrangement even clearer in the listing description for future guests. Thank you again for staying here. Sara

Awesome stay

Everything is top notch. Sara and all the things she does to make your stay comfortable from luxury linens to treats ( both human and for dog) to beautiful gardens to her beautiful artwork and providing a relaxing atmosphere are more than expected. We have stayed here many times and plan to return soon.

We loved this cottage by Pleasure Point Beach

This cottage was perfect for my husand and I, our teenage son and our dog, Blue. It was cozy and artistic. The king size bed in the main room was one of the most comfortable beds we have slept in while traveling. The hot tub was large, secluded and fit the whole family in. We loved the little garden area in the front. It was a great location, walking distance to coffee, restaurants and the ocean. And, Sara, the owner, was very accomdodating to all our needs. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Host seemed annoyed I contacted her ten minutes before arrival so that she could greet us with keys per instructions on VRBO ArrivalPortal. She stated these were “old” instructions (?). I would encourage people to print out arrival instructions because no access to internet before entering by keypad code which requires internet. Place was clean and decent, beds and couches not firm or new. It was fine but overpriced for what it provided. Owners exit and enter on path next to rental unit which does trigger dogs to bark.

Our favorite getaway!

We have stayed in many VRBO properties and this is our favorite. We have had the pleasure of visiting multiple times and enjoyed each one. The neighborhood is quiet, the gardens are beautiful, the decor is peppered with original art and comfy furnishings and Sara, the host, is wonderful. The King size bed is just right and the shower in the back bedroom is perfect. The kitchen is well stocked with pots and pans and we have cooked everything from tacos to chili to pasta and fish. We all enjoyed the treats provided by Sara and our dog enjoys the fenced in front yard and walks in the neighborhood. There are plenty of restaurants close by and some within walking distance. We are looking forward to our next stay in a month or so.
