Comfortable the Rose is our favorite spacious and beautiful on the back porch with all of natural. It’s a great place to stay only 8 miles from the Pentecostal s of Alexandria. We will be back to the Rose cottage soon.

Quaint and Quiet But Overpriced
My husband and I stayed recently for our anniversary. We love finding little cabins, cottages and B&b’s. We got in on Saturday evening and left Monday morning. There isn’t much to do around Alexandria so we drove down to Holly Beach on Sunday. What I didn’t know was that someone would be in our cottage while we were gone. Granted they changed the trash and brought fresh towels our things were moved around and turned the heat off.
