Quaint Cottage

The cottage is located in a nice quiet neighborhood but only a short drive to the beach, casino and golf courses. Our dogs loved searching for squirrels in the back yard. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t warm enough to use the pool but it was very relaxing sitting poolside. Everything we needed was supplied a d the cottage was very clean.

Our stay at the Cottage

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cottage. Jeff and Shari were gracious, kind and helpful hosts. The cottage was clean and cozy. Jeff and Shari thought of everything to provide. The neighborhood very safe. Our fur babies came as well, that was a plus for us. We will stay again when we come back to the area.

Perfect Place

This is my second time to stay at The Cottage at Pino. I was there for two nights. I travel alone often to the Coast to see family. One of the many things I like about this cottage is that is very safe and quiet. The hosts, Jeff and Shari check on me sometimes twice a day. It is a safe area for me to walk my dog anytime of day. I get plenty of rest more so than when I stay in a hotel because I feel safe being there by myself. I will look forward to staying at The Cottage at Pino again.

A very nice cottage

The cottage was clean and comfortable. The hosts were nice and informative. Our only issue was that we both have mobility issues and I would not recommend this to others with similar issues. Getting from the parking area to the cottage was difficult. There is not a paved walkway. One of us uses a cane and the other, a Rollator. Going over the tree roots was quite difficult. Then there are paving stones spaced out in the grass near the pool which were also difficult to navigate. Aside from that, a nice place to stay.

Excellent stay at the cottage

100% satisfaction. Host was very attentive with periodic touchbase to let me know to just reach out if i needed anything at all. Nice and quiet location away from the main strip but close enough to everything you could even want to do! Would reccommend and will book again in the future!

Quiet Retreat

I was in town for my dad’s funeral. I loved the quietness of the cottage as I was dealing with a lot! Jeff and Shari are the kindest hosts. They knew my circumstances for being there. They checked on me at least once a day sometimes twice. It made me realize even the midst of a difficult time that there are genuinely kind and loving people in the world. I will look forward to staying at the Cottage at Pino again.

Amazing Cottage

The cottage is just as the pictures show. Our hosts provided the few requests I asked for. We had a very relaxing time. We did have our fur baby traveling with us & I'm happy to say she was a perfect doggie guest. The cottage was clean & tidy. Thank you for being such gracious hosts. Would stay again if in the area.

Peaceful getaway

The cottage was so cute and spacious, the yard was great for our dogs, and the pool area was perfect for our family. Of course, the zipline was a big hit with my kids. The photos showed an outdoor kitchen we thought we would have access to, but that was an off limits area. However, the hosts DID provide a charcoal grill for us to use, which was perfect! We never stayed in a place with the owners right by us, so it was a little bit of a different experience for us, but the hosts were very nice. They even had a birthday card for my husband in the cottage upon our arrival. :)

Perfect Spot - very cool place

We found the cottage to be perfect for our needs. The outdoor area is literally perfect if you bring your pups. Jeff and Shari are awesome people and very friendly but not at all intrusive. This would be a perfect place for anyone who wants to stay outside the hustle and bustle of the tourist areas but still have quick access to everything. If you have kids, they will love the bunk area. We did not use the pool but having that as an option is incredible. Everything is well maintained and private.
