This cottage was very secluded, had plenty of room inside and outside for our boys, 14,12 and 8. The dock was really nice for them as well. Was very close to shopping, fast food and restaurants. The host was amazing to work with.

Fishing Trip
Property was just what we were looking for. Easy to find and close to the ocean. A quick drive will get you many of the places the area has to offer. I would stay again should we book another fishing trip.

Outstanding property and host
Our stay was easy and comfortable. On the day of our arrival I received message from the host on how to enter the home. We arrived after dark and the home was easy to find using Google Maps and the street address was visible on the home. The entry was well lit. The home was exactly as described. The home and location was quiet and comfortable. Had everything we needed for our stay. A nice older home. Would definitely stay here again.

Dock not actually on property
Besides ants in the kitchen, the house looked fine. However, the listing makes it sound like the dock is on the property on which you will be staying. It is not. In order to access the dock, you have to go next door to the owner's house and into their backyard to access the "private dock" which is by no means private since they can sit and watch you from their living room. When we contacted the owner and told her we felt the listing was not accurate, she said "I was very clear in the listing about the location of the dock, if you don't want to stay you can just check out." We did not end up staying, contacted customer support and got a refund. Had the listing clearly stated that the dock was not on the property this would not have been an issue.

Perfect getaway retreat
Property is exactly as described but more. Well maintained home that is private from the main home. Being able to use their dock was a plus. We were able to fish but didn’t catch. Home was close to everything we visited and neighborhood was co quiet and relaxing.

The week we stay, there was very restful, peaceful, and very enjoyable. The host was easy to talk to and checked in to see if we needed anything. The house is immaculately clean, and the yard is perfect. We highly recommend anyone who wants to relax and enjoy the Florida weather to stay here.

Our 1st VRBO and won’t be the last
When we saw the listing we knew we would love it and we were not disappointed. The exterior was so inviting and relaxing. The interior had everything we could want. The beds were quite comfortable, as well as the couch. I wish I could have the time to have spent more than a weekend here. My husband and I both said that we could easily live here. We will definitely return when we are in the area.
