We were so pleased with the Blue Cottage. Melinda our host gave us great information and when I had to contact her about trash pickup day , she got right back to me. Very clean and I’m picky. Very comfortable for me and my husband. Great location. Short drive to beach access. First vacation with our dog and this house was perfect.

Everything was great! We came for a girls weekend and the house had everything we needed. I loved the quiet neighborhood and how short of a drive it was to the beach.

This was our first time staying in the blue cottage, and it was perfect! The outside fence for the dogs is a huge plus! The bed was extremely comfortable. The AC kept up with the hot weather outside. The towels were good and thick! The host was very helpful, very quick with responses. When we come back to OKI this will be our go to stay!Thank you!The Davis Family!

The house was exactly as described and just what our family was looking for. The neighborhood was quiet and neighbors were very friendly. The fenced in back yard was great for our fur baby. I wasn’t a fan of the bed in the main bedroom (not what I’m used to) but my husband liked it. My teen boys said their beds were very comfy. Even though the house is pet friendly, it smelled good and was very clean. I would definitely recommend this house for a family with pets.
