Hi Sharon - We appreciate you staying with us and for you leaving a review. However we are puzzled by your comment that the washroom was "open to the whole home". The washroom we provide guests is private, There are four walls, a lockable door and not "open" in any way. You clearly found something not to your liking and we regret that was the case. But we would never think of offering guests (or ourselves) anything short of complete privacy in a washroom.

The property and the cottage was small, but quaint and nicely furnished. While I thought I had read description entirely, I did not realize the bathroom was inside the owner's house (which felt very odd & uncomfortable to me). Nonetheless, the bathroom was beautiful and stocked with everything you needed. I asked in advance about the firepit and also about the barbecue. However, when we arrived, we found that the firepit looked as if it was being worked on as it had tools in it. Also, the barbecue had two big bags of cement in front of it, and was in desperate need of cleaning. Felt as if the owner was not prepared for us to use these items. Great price, good location and a beautiful view.

Property was as advertised. The shared bathroom was as advertised, but a little inconvenient. The mattress could be a little better. But overall the property was clean and priced reasonably, and the host was very responsive to address and issues we had.

I had a good plus stay. I wasn't in the room much, but it was clean, comfortable and quiet. The property was attractive and well maintained and the hosts were non intrusive. The only minor feedback I have is that it would be nice to have some a couple of coffee pods, as I don't use them at home and didn't want to buy any for an overnight stay. I would also suggest a glow in the dark sign depicting the parking spot. I arrived well after dark and had trouble with the parking. It was listed in the directions, but there were so many directions I kind of skimmed over them and got confused. The sign was also hard to see. That said, the host was responsive when I messaged them and came right out to help.

Such a cozy Cabana. Everything was neat and tidy and super comfortable. John got back to us within minutes of any questions and even recommended a great spot for dinner when I asked. Bathroom was no issue whatsoever. It was available for us anytime day or night. We will definitely be back!!

The room where we stayed was very small. We had access to main building with the bathroom, living room and backyard. But we didnt have access to the kitchen which was inconvenient. Backyard had a gorgeous view of the ocean. Host was nice but communication was hard through messaging because they weren't responsive at all. Overall, we enjoyed our stay but i wish I had booked a hotel with the same price and a better location.

Hi Sara-I appreciate you leaving your thoughts. I'm sorry for any confusion but we don't offer access to the kitchen. I apologize as well if communication didn't meet your needs. I only received one message during your stay and I responded shortly after I received it. I completely understand your comment about choosing a hotel. It's really about choices; what we offer is a budget friendly option - we are often the lowest cost per night in the area. Hotel rooms in our market are 2x-3x our rate. We're committed to keeping rates low and still offering good value. We don't try to compete with a full-service hotel - we're an alternative. Thanks again for your comment and for staying with us.

This was a nice one-night stop over on a trip that got us in late and had us leaving super early. We were a bit surprised to find the bathroom separate from the cottage where we were staying and thought that might have been better explained in the listing. It ended up being just fine after we got over being uncomfortable entering the main house to use the bathroom. The room gets super toasty with the wall heater and we enjoyed coffee in the morning that was left for us. It was easy to get up and out the next day and back on the road to our next destination. We slept well in the comfy bed!

We arranged an early check on. This is the reason I booked the property, as we had a wedding to attend and needed to dress and change prior. We arrived at the scheduled time. We messages and tried to contact the host many times and in different ways. Zero communication. Zero check in until the automated message far later. Parking was blocked. Altogether not what I booked the place for and will be seeking a partial refund. We had to bargain with a local restaurant to change in. Awful experience.

Cute little cabana. The grounds were very clean and beautiful. There is a water fountain out front that is visited by all kinds of birds. It was enjoyable watching them through the double glass doors of the cabana. The listing is accurate in what is included. Everything was neat and clean and a quick walk to the bay. It's the perfect size for 1 to 2 people. I really appreciated that they accommodated me and my two small dogs. The area is pretty eclectic. A mixture of fancy beach homes and generational properties. I felt safe walking my dogs and it was refreshing having so many people smile and say or wave hello.I'll visit the area again and will not hesitate to stay at the cabana.

The room and bed was clean. But the owners dog pooped in the shower one night and peed on the bathroom rug the next. It would also be nice if it mentioned the bathroom and shower was inside of the main house, not in the cabin.

The space was clean and cozy. The bathroom situation was weird for sure. Always felt like I was intruding and there was always someone hanging out in the house when we went through the main space. This is a stay for extroverts for sure.
