Great communication from Christine. I love the location of the unit. Its perfect for a short walk to the beach. Pool is great after a day at the beach.
We had the the most relaxing stay at Jill’s place. The unit was clean and just a close walk to the beach. The check in and out process was smooth and we had great communication from Jill. We would definitely stay again.
This was a prime spot on the island. Close to shops and restaurants but even closer to the beach.
We enjoyed our time here and will book again. Jill is a very responsive host.
Property was exactly as described, just 100 steps to the beach. In a quiet neighborhood. Island trolley bus service which stops just round the corner is an excellent way to get around.
The rental is in a great location and owner is wonderful! So easy to communicate with and willing to accommodate our travel times.
The units are small but cute as a button! Perfect weekend getaway!
My wife and I really loved our stay. The location was close to everything and the beach is across the street. The condo had everything we needed and more storage space for all the gear we brought with us. The pool was clean. Jill was great and answered emails and calls promptly. We had the best time and will be back!
Jill’s place was so cute, clean and conveniently located. Communication with Jill was top notch, she even checked in to see how we were doing! We can’t wait to return. Thank you for your hospitality!

Everything we needed - exactly as described and pictured
Steps to the pool and a very short walk across the street to the beach - everything we needed for the beach was available
At the street corner is the trolley stop and the trolley is free !! This runs to the end of the island!
We would highly recommend and definately will return !
Jill does an incredible job of welcoming guests. We were very sick for most of trip but she made the stay a positive experience.
Cute little place. Big step up into bathroom may be difficult for someone with mobility issues.
Wonderful to walk out of room right onto pool deck. Great location with easy access to beach.
We'll be back!
This was a great property and perfect size and set up for what I needed for a week at the beach. The only negative thing was the shower. The water pressure was not great and a took a bit of guesswork to figure out the temperature.
Jill was great to communicate everything about my stay and ensured my stay went well.
We’ve stayed here a few other times and have always enjoyed it. A short walk to the beach makes sunsets easy to see. As for food, there are several bars and restaurants in the area easily accessible by the golf cart cabbies and busses running on Gulf Drive throughout the day. We just finished our stay and have already scheduled another stay next year. Jill, the owner, is a phenomenal host. She’s friendly and a great communicator. Thanks for a great time Jill!
Great, as usual. We love the location and the building, too. A nice slice of old Florida beaches, but with today’s conveniences. A/C, TV, internet…plus with the other amenities like a kitchen with a real stove and refrigerator (although, we didn’t need them this time). We had one hiccup when the shower quit working…Jill had it taken care of early the next day. All in all, we had a great time and we’re ready to reserve again for next year!
Thanks to Jill!
Just perfect. Walk across the street to the beach. Walk at night, Beautiful stars out at night. Apartment had all the things you need and possibly forget to bring. Spices, coffee, filters. Quaint, comfortable feeling inside. Bathroom was Awesome, Bedroom was Sweet. I'd suggest anyone to stay here. Thank you. W.F.E.
Quaint and cozy cottage. Very clean, well equipped, and close beach access made it a beautiful place to see the sunset. The place is ideally set to see new sites while walking the dog, the beach to roam, access to trolley rides, and a beautiful heated pool area to kick my feet up and relax in quietness. Jill was on top of things all the time with her desire to accommodate every need. Excellent host! My two weeks may have been a little cool, windy and rainy, but it was wonderful compared to a foot and half of snow and below zero temperatures back. I hope to be back next year.
