Loved the landscaping, lights, fountain, and plants (very relaxing!!!!!!)
You can tell the owners have put a lot of time in the details of this facility very well ran and organized
Very Clean
Great Location (We took day trips to many of the surrounding beaches)
Just a few blocks from the beach on the bikes
They have bikes, and other beach accessories you can use
Laundry room was nice all new equipment $2/load
Nice pool area, extremely clean and well maintained. Very refreshing in the middle of the day to cool off
Kitchen had all the items needed to meals, snacks, and etc
Lanai/screened in porch was great!
Easy parking lots of space
Very quiet and peaceful
We definitely would recommend this!
This is a hidden gem!!!
Place was clean and cozy. We wanted to grill but there were seeds of some kind that had been brought in by an animal so we just broiled our steaks in the oven…. I would also suggest reversing the refrigerator doors for easier access since they were next to the wall.
Were new to VRBO’s, but there was no contact with the owners or managers during our stay - we found that a bit strange. But, overall, we found our little cottage quaint and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Loved the Villa and would stay again . Marianne was great. Just would be great to service bikes; some are rusty and need a bit of work. Overall wonderful stay
This was perfect, only wish I could have booked it for next year. It was easy to communicate with the owner’s. There was a problem the TV connection so we weren’t able to watch any local and limited news. But the said they were working on it. Hopefully fixed soon.
