The cutest little guest house was so cozy and had lovely views of the water. The host provided gifts of wine and biscotti. There was plenty of bottled water. Coffee creamer was brand new. She went above the normal amenities we previously have received with rentals. Loved the location as it was in between the beaches and downtown. Would love to return sometime.

Nice cozy spot for two. We travel with a lot of our own food so having a full kitchen was a major bonus. Comfy bed and all we needed. Beautiful location and nice evening sitting outside with our pups. Gracious attentive host always available for any questions. We will be back!

Property was very clean, comfortable and above all cozy. Loved everything about this heavenly cottage. Safe and secure for a mature lady visiting on her own or any professional looking for their home away from home. My stay was idyllic and I am hoping to book again in the future.

Awesome place to stay! The only issue we had was that the water smelled very bad anytime we ran the water. We were afraid to drink and only used bottled water.

A slice of paradise

We have stayed at "Little Paradise"for several years.The owner is always doing something creative.The outside porch is wonderful for relaxing and looking out at the water. If you want to sit close to the water or fish the dock is not far.You will not find another gem like this
