The cottage has a fun and funky vibe with colorful decor in addition to being very clean. The cottage has absolutely everything you need and more. We enjoyed her reading material while having coffee on the front porch. The backyard is very comfortable, relaxing, and spacious. Our teenage daughters enjoyed that there was a wii.

She had her repair person out, while we were gone for the day, and the problem was corrected when we returned home. I spoke with her several times as she was making sure everything was fixed and we were comfortable. We will DEFINITELY stay here again. Loved the house. Host is the best. Location was great.

Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marilyn, Austin, Texas 4 Aug 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities We stayed in this wonderful home for 11 nights. The house itself is a vacation with its colorful furniture and decor. The front porch gives you a choice of seating with a rocking chair, glider, and a porch swing! Then there is the back deck where you can relax in adirondack chairs and view the palm-shaded grassy lawn. Inside, you will find a mix of styles - retro Americana, beachy tropical, and south of the border; somehow it all goes together beautifully. My favorite touch was the fiestaware dishes in every color. The matresses were all comfortable and the bathroom was stocked with high quality bath and beach towels. We cooked most of our own meals and appreciated the well equipped large kitchen complete with spice rack full of various seasoning. The house is centrally located -- about half a mile from the beach, a pleasant walk. On the days we took our young grandson to the beach with our umbrella, towels, noodles, etc., we drove our car and parked along the seawall which is only $1 per hour and free after 6 pm. The host is the best and most responsive owner I have ever encountered. We wish we could have stayed for the rest of the summer! ##### Marilyn Stayed 11 nights in Jul 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brian L. 23 Jul 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great house Great house for Family or couple.
