The overall stay was excellent. Air conditioning was out due to the hurricane and the host had it repaired immediately. Love the area and definitely would consider booking the same listing again.Martin

The property was very comfortable and easy to find. It was about 4 blocks to the beach which took about 10 min to walk there. Plenty of good Resturant's nearby. We would consider staying there again if we visit this area in the future.

Perfect for our family of 4. 100% recommend for any smaller family with younger children that can share a bed. Short walk to the beach and drive to all the hottest spots in town. Pet friendly but pets are not allowed on the beach. I plan to rent again next year!

We have stayed at this cottage for the past two years and have loved staying here. It’s not but a few minutes walk to restaurants, the beach and the Hangout. It’s always very clean and fresh smelling. The host is super at responding to questions and its pet friendly which make it a great stay for us .

This was the perfect place to stay for a couple of days at the beach. We did the NCAA volleyball tournament and it was a quick walk to the gate. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was perfect to cook in after a long day in the sand! We can’t wait to book this again for next year!! If you are looking for a beach getaway, this place is perfect.

We really enjoyed our stay! The house is quite small, but was perfect for us as a couple. The home is pet friendly and has a yard area for them. The home is super close to everything, with many attractions (and the beach) within walking distance! Everything was clean. Communication from the host was minimal but we had no issues with our stay so I can't reflect on host responsiveness. Overall, it was a great stay!

Everything was as advertised! The house was extremely clean with sparkling white quartz countertops in the kitchen! It was welcoming for our pups. Also close to restaurants and a fancy Dollar General. Owner was a pleasure to deal with for check in and check out.
