This was the perfect little cottage for us to stay close to the beach! Cottage was well stocked, A/C was perfect, location was prime, and beds were comfortable. We had minor issues with some of the doors not closing properly, but was easily mitigated; not a deal breaker. All in all, highly recommend!

The location is amazing! It’s the best spot on the beach! The house is cute, it could have be better equipped for cooking. The burners on the stove were crooked due to mismatched burner liners. The bedding was lacking as well.

Lovely Beach stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This little cottage was a perfect get away with only a few steps to the beach. Super cute and clean. Only complaint would be the bed. There was big deep dip from a very old or over used mattress. It was so uncomfortable. Other than that, everything else was great!

Jessica, thank you for your kind words! We’re so glad you enjoyed the cottage, the cleanliness, and that unbeatable proximity to the beach — it really is a special little spot.

We love Indian Shores and this was our 1st time at this property. It was very tastefully decorated, clean, easy check in, nice washer/dryer, well equipped kitchen. Just a few steps to the beach. Towels and some toys included for beach fun but no chairs, cooler or umbrella provided. The only cons would be: *The cottage is right on the road so it can get a little noisy at times. It didn’t bother us but might bother others. *The mattresses could definitely be upgraded. One of the mattresses has a large dip in the middle so we kept sliding to the middle. This would be very difficult for an older person to get in and out of. Would we stay here again? Yes… if the mattresses were upgraded. Overall a great stay. We love Indian Shores for its quiet laid back beautiful beach and friendly people. **Indian Shores Coffee is the best and just up the road from the cottage.

Perfect location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Perfect location to the beach and restaurants. House could use more pillows and mattress upgrades. Be nice if the kitchen had at least one morning of coffee/filters for first morning as we arrived late and weren’t able to shop for groceries. Also, broom would’ve been nice to clean up beach sand tracked in from numerous trips to the beach. Overall, nest older cabin that was clean and perfectly located.
