Cozy and Great Location

This Property is charming and cozy. The location is a 5 minute walk to the beach and a 5-10 minute walk to numerous restaurants and activities. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful.Communication with Shonna was great. My wife, our 2 dogs and I enjoyed this vacation and home. We will definitely be returning vacationers to this home.

Decent spot

Couple of restaurants that are easily walkable and so are some shops to get souvenirs. Walk to the beach is about 8-10mins so it’s nice and close. Only issues we had were the bathroom door wouldn’t latch, the grass wasn’t mowed till the day before we left (we stayed 8 days) so it was pretty high for a small dog. There ended up being a venomous snake we had to kill which you can’t help if something wonders on the property, but I messaged the property owner & never got a response about the snake. Overall it’s a good location and nice small house.

Perfect!

This place was PERFECT for myself and two of my teenagers. Not too big or too small. Excellent location. Absolutely adorable! Wish there was another bedroom and bathroom and I’d bring our whole family! Plenty of parking space, and a good size yard.

Cute and close

Place was just as the pictures and super cute. Within walking distance of the festival and the beach. The only downside was they made the streets into one ways and this street was actually the main one everyone came down. But this is only because of the festival and not the owners fault.

PERFECT FOR HONEYMOON

My wife and I booked for our honeymoon. It is the perfect size for a couple or even a small family. We enjoyed the location! Just a minute walk to restaurants/stores. It also was SUPER clean when we arrived! Outdoor shower is perfect for after long beach days. Overall, I would definitely recommend staying here! 10/10

Perfect, clean, nice yard for dog

We enjoyed our 4 night stay. The location was convenient walking distance to beach, restaurants, and stores. Walk to the beach was an easy 5 minute walk. The yard was big enough for our dog to run. I would have liked to have a couple of extra towels. Overall it was great and I would stay here again. Thank you!

Great property

Great little property! Short walking distance to beach and shops. Quick responses and great communication with the owner! Highly recommend this property! If you enjoy fishing, head over to Alabama point and cast near the pylons. Caught some nice redfish over there in the evening time on cut mullet.

Truly a “COZY” Cottage in a GREAT location!

This property is very clean and has everything you need for an awesome stay! The kitchen had great appliances and the cabinets and drawers were fully stocked with anything you might need. There were 3 nice smart tv’s and the beds slept really good. The shower was always hot with super flow. Outside there is a big deck with a nice picnic table. We brought our own sun umbrella and a couple of bag chairs for extra comfort. The host is super sweet and quick to respond to questions. The location is perfect and within a very short walking distance to the beach, parks, and a ton of bars and restaurants. Highly recommend.
