  A very spacious, clean, well-equipped and comfortable cottage in a great location. You're just a short block from the wonderful beach and very near the stop for the free bus that runs up and down the island; so, when it comes to exploring the island, you could easily get by without a car. A variety of restaurants are nearby (we especially liked The Waterfront Restaurant and the Sandbar), and, if you're inclined to cook in the well-equipped kitchen, the Publix market is only a 5 minute walk. Vicki is great to work with. She is very responsive and very interested in making your stay as enjoyable a possible. We originally reserved the upstairs one bedroom part of the cottage. Unfortunately, just before we arrived they determined that necessary work needed to be done on that unit. Vicki contacted us as soon as she knew this and and offered to find us another place on the island or move us downstairs to the larger unit at no additional cost to us. We really appreciated her efforts to ensure that our stay would not be disrupted in any way.

  We enjoyed the condo very much! I loved walking out, crossing the street and we were on the beach! Vicki was also wonderful to work with and made our stay enjoyable:) They had all the beach towels, sand toys and even beach chairs. We were very happy with our stay at the Beach Bistro.

  When we arrived at this beautiful house, we were amazed to see how big and spacious the property was inside. The loft being converted as a fourth bedroom was a big plus and even though it's a loft, it felt very private upstairs. The house was very clean and the kitchen was very well equipped. The house had plenty of beach and bathroom towels. The white shutters add such a beautiful touch to the house and are very easy to open and close for clarity or privacy. The a/c worked perfectly. This house is literally steps from the beach. We live in Orlando, FL and brought our jet skis. We invited a couple of friends to spend the day with us at the beach and they were all impressed with this property and inquired about the rental information. We definitely recommended this property to our friends and family members. We would like to invite our out of state family members to spend some quality time at this beautiful house. We come to this area quite often to jet ski and this is the perfect place for a weekend getaway or for a whole week stay. We enjoyed grilling ribs and burgers in the outdoor gas grill. This outdoor area was shaded so we were able to sit and relax in the wooden beach chairs while grilling. Vicky, thank you for answering all my questions and for making the rental process so easy. I look forward to renting this house again in the near future.
