The property was fine. When I heard the owner had to meet us in person before we could check in i thought it was a nice personal touch, but it was a lecture about all the things I would be charged for if I did or did not do. She told us that if we were the kind of people who used a fresh towel every day we would have to wash them before check out. unbelievable. We were made to feel like she was taking us in not paying guest. We left a day early and will never rely on this website again. We vacation at least 6 times a year and have never run across anything like this!

I'm glad you thought our property was fine, but we would never nickel and dime our guests, and I think all of our other reviews reflect that. Could your creative and vindictive one-star review have to do with our no smoking policy and how our cottage was left after your departure? I like to greet our guests in person since we have no office on site, to make sure they get in okay, and guests appreciate that. I tell you where is the closest beach access and answer your questions about the apartment and the area. For the record, we provide six sets of bath towels plus four beach towels in our studio cottages for two people, so doing laundry is generally not necessary for a short stay of less than a week. The guest laundry is there for our extended stay guests whenever they want it. We do ask that you wash and put away your dishes, which most people do anyway after meals, and to put out your garbage upon departure. This is all normal for vacation rentals. If this is what offended you, perhaps a traditional hotel would better suit you for your next trip.
Stayed for four nights and wished we had booked for a longer period of time. Cottage was very comfortable for my wife and I. Quiet side street with a very short walk to the beach. Property was well maintained and our interactions with Elaine were great. Check in process was very easy and Elaine made herself available for all our questions and requests.
Highly recommend.

Elaine Mamés you feel at home. Very cozy place with a very good location near the beach. One minor thing. Internet was a bit unstable.

We are so glad you and your daughter enjoyed the cottage and family-friendly location. Normally our Internet is strong and reliable. We pay for the fastest speed. But unfortunately Comcast said it was doing maintenance work in the area during your stay, which caused the Internet to go in and out. We are so sorry for that inconvenience, but there was nothing we could do, other than call Comcast every day to check our property, but they could do nothing at our site to solve it. Now the neighborhood work seems to be complete and we are back up again as normal. Thank you for the five-star review despite this bad timing with the Internet.
Great location near the beach, 2 min walk!
Quiet neighbourhood, restaurants close by.
Overall perfect location for a perfect vacation!

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at our historic Cottages complex. Thank you for your five-star review. There is so much to do within a short walk of the Cottages, so you can be as active (or not) as you wish, and always come back to your clean, quiet and serene private cottage. It was a pleasure having you. We hope you visit us again!
Upon our very late night arrival we were greeted with a well light cottage and easy keyless entry. Our location was a a quick 5 minute walk to the attractive Pompano Beach.
Our unit was nicely decorated and the king size bed was most comfortable. We were visiting family who enjoyed sitting in the screened in patio and playing games and catching up. The garden area is quite lush and the neighborhood was guilt and calm during the week of Spring Break. Many close by restaurants and a lovely consignment store well worth the visit. We would love to come and stay again.

Thank you so much for staying with us. We really appreciate your top review. Our historic, boutique Cottages by the Ocean complex is in the heart of the walkable and family-friendly beach area. It is safe, quiet and clean, and close to so many things to do. We try to make it a peaceful, pretty enclave for our guests and glad we achieved that for you. You are welcome back any time!
We couldn’t get into our cottage because of an electrical problem but they gave us three choices all an upgrade! Took our temperatures & very Covid friendly! Eat in kitchen clean good bed great time!

Thanks so much for staying with us. We were upgrading the electric at our cottages to accommodate a better laundry room and the job was delayed due to a wait on the inspections. I'm glad you enjoyed your alternate apartment nearby. We have several top-rated properties listed on VRBO. Our company was named 2019 Small Business of the Year for Tourism and Hospitality by the Greater Fort Lauderdale Chamber, so we were pretty sure you couldn't go wrong with any of the other options we gave you. All are 1-2 blocks to the beach and a short walk to the new oceanfront promenade, fishing pier, shops, dive boats and dozens of restaurants. We would love to see you back agajn!
Excellent location close to the beach
Friendly staff
Would strongly recommend

Thank you so much for your top review. It means a lot to me and my staff, whose top priority is to enure that you have a safe and memorable stay, including the highest health and safety protocols for sanitizing our cottages. So glad you got to enjoy Pompano's serene new oceanfront park promenade, full of free, family-friendly amenities and fantastic new fishing pier. Along with the private development of some iconic new restaurants in our fishing village, the investments to our beach area total more than $80M. I hope you return to enjoy three more restaurants soon to open, plus a free trolley service that's planned to get people up and down the beach area and also West to our historic district. You are welcome back any time!
Lovely cottage, perfect location, plan to rent again

I am a hands-on owner and my goal is to ensure that all of our guests have a safe, clean, comfortable and memorable stay. My hobbies are photography, travel and dancing (ballroom, Latin, Argentine Tango, Country, Swing and Hustle). I am professional, educated, volunteer in my community, was raised with manners, am active, healthy, non-smoker and believe in treating everyone with kindness and respect.
