We have stayed in many VRBO properties and this was the best. Perfect location, charming house and decor, equipped with everything. Can’t recommend enough.
Loved this wonderfully renovated spot right in Main Street within walking distance of everything. Views were great snd we enjoyed exploring the area including light hikes, antiquing and local history. Highly recommend!
Property was excellent and accurately depicted in ad. Very clean, bright any in a prime location downtown. Owners were very responsive and had handy info cards around the cottage to guide you with anything you needed. 10 out of 10 will stay again.
My boyfriend and I stayed here with my parents for an awesome long weekend of golf and hanging out. The property was just as described, very clean and beautiful. Karen was super responsive and helpful, the location was great and the beds super comfortable. What more could you want?
beautiful place. was quite dirty on floors and needed some maintenance. recommended servicing or replacing bbq to owner.still dont know if thats done.definitely prime location and well equipped.
This cottage is so stunning in person. The view of the ocean from the upper balcony is so breathtaking, the apple blossoms were out and made the lower deck look like it was out of a magazine. Check-in was seamless, communication was prompt. The property was clean and beautifully decorated. Highly recommend.
We absolutely loved everything about our stay in this fantastic rental. While the photos are spot on, it's even more impressive in person. The place has been beautifully remodeled and is super comfortable, whether you're enjoying the space indoors or on any of the 3 decks. The location is fantastic, right on the town's adorable main street, in walking distance of everything. The owner/host is wonderful, super attentive and accommodating. We cannot recommend this location or rental property enough and already plan to return next year.
We spent 4 weeks during the summer of 2024 in this charming VRBO. The location is great, a very short walk to the main area of St. Andrews. The views from the two back decks was spectacular. Our host Karen reached out to us a few times to make sure everything was all right. The house was well appointed and comfortable. We will definitely recommend it!

This is a lovely cottage with gorgeous decor and view of the water. A really beautiful place. Beware the description of “bedroom 3” as it’s simply the sofa in the main living area with a very hard mattress on the pull out bed. Other than the bed, the place was amazing and worth a 5 star rating.
The home was lovely and very well equipped --- even having nice white bath robes for our use. The location was awesome being right on the waterfront and the balcony was great for spending time enjoying the view. We very much enjoyed our stay and would happily go back again.
Even better than advertised. Lovely home, decorated beautifully but completely comfortable and homey. Great beds and linens. Beautiful balconies! Location could not be better for walking beautiful St Andrews. Beyond pleased. One of the best places we’ve ever stayed.
This was by far the nicest place we have ever stayed in. The house was spotless with everything you would need for your stay and more. Karen was an amazing host and responded right away and was very helpful and friendly. Location was perfect - right on the Main Street with a spectacular view of the bay. Rooms were huge and very clean and the bathroom was incredible. This will be the only place I stay when I come back to visit. Thank you Karen for making our stay wonderful.
What a stunning home!!! Location was perfect and the best of views!!! We had a blast exploring Saint Andrew’s and will miss this charming home and all that Saint Andrew’s has to offer. You will want for nothing in this home as they provide everything!,,we will definitely return to this beautiful place!!!!!!!!
House was lovely; as advertised. Clean and well-stocked.Saint Andrews is a beautiful little place. I'd highly recommend the Oppenheimer-Prager Museum and Minister's Island (but don't get stuck in the sand, as we did!).Karen was responsive and helpful.The only negative was wonky Internet. We were booted off-line maybe a total of 3 days out of 14 during our stay.

This property is so cozy and beautiful! It is walkable distance to anything you need. I can’t wait to revisit this cottage.
The host was so attentive and responsive. We arrived later than expected and she made sure there were lights on for us. We made a wonderful meal in the kitchen; it had everything you need. I spent a whole day lounging on the upper deck, reading a book and looking at the ocean. It was everything we were looking for and you cannot beat this location!!!
