Quaint
We stayed in this quaint little one room cottage for a week. I think 3 - 4 days would have been better for such a small space, but we made the best of it. Ultimately, we enjoyed our stay.

Directions need to be clearer, because GPS takes one to the front of the house. The toaster did not work. The wifi worked only half of the time. It took a LONG time to get hot water. But great location, clean place, comfortable bed

Great location in a nice neighborhood
My husband and I stayed for 4 nights and had a great time. We brought our bikes and mostly we used them to go everywhere. The beach is only a 5 minute walk and all the shops and restaurants where jus a bike away. We read a previous review that complained about the heat and humidity, but for us, we had no issues at all. The place was clean, cool, and very comfortable. We will be back hopefully soon.

read past reviews they're spot on and have not been fixed even though they say they have. we arrived late at night tired from a long trip, when i opened the door the mildew/ humidity hit me harder than will smith at the oscars. wet walls, bed and pillows. too tired, too late to do anything about it my first night was horrible. a/c unit has a drainage issue dumps moisture back into the room. emmonds said there was supposed to be a dehumidifier set up in the room, that right there should be the clue that something is wrong. they brought the dehumidifier over. i stayed a week humidity inside was north of 80% (gage didnt go higher) eventually it went down to 55% i put candles all over the place and sprayed febreeze on everything daily to make it bearable. ran the bathroom exhaust and dehumidifier 24/7. empty dehumidifier every 3 hrs. ignore the noise they make best you can. shame because its a nice little place and cleaning out the a/c drain is super easy for the right repairman. almost did it myself but im on vacation and i was already doing more than i should have. thankfully the time of year meant i didnt have to run the a/c much which allowed the dehumidifier to catch up i feel sorry for someone in the summer. humidity issue aside it is a nice, clean place in a good location and i would stay there again if issues were fixed. door drap is see thru didnt bother me, people can see in i feel sorry for the neighbors im way past my prime.

Great location!
The check in experience wasn’t smooth. We didn’t receive an access code from the owner on the day of check in, as indicated in the confirmation email. We had to email and make multiple phone calls to the property management company to obtain it. The property owner never sent it to us, so we finally obtained it from the property management company. It was a relief, since it was a 4th of July holiday and we were not sure if they’d even be open. The property itself is comfortable and has everything you need for a few days stay. The beach access is just a couple of minutes walk away. The center of town with shops and restaurants is close too, a beautiful 15-20 min walk. The cottage was clean except for the couch, that had stains and dirty marks. The overall stay was pleasant, as the island itself had a beautiful peaceful atmosphere and a fantastic sandy beach.
