The house was perfect for our 2 families and even has a little room to grow in at some point. The location and amenities can't be beat; having the beach on one side and the boat ramp on the other was absolutely perfect. The host had excellent communication and clear instructions for everything regarding the house, check-in, and check-out.

Beautiful home, great having the elevator, loved the screened porch, picnic table under the house, good beach in front of the house. Had one issue with refrigerator but the owners went above and beyond to fix it. They were wonderful to deal with, they suggested Trident restaurant for brunch, great food!

Just What The Doctor Ordered

Thank you for granting us the privilege of making your home our home for the week. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We had all the beauty and comforts of home in a low key locale with spectacular sunsets and a gorgeous once in a life time Flower Moon "rise" last night!!! Our experience at Taffy Water Cottage was just what the doctor ordered. Feeling refreshed and ready to take on real life. Again, thank you and we hope you'll have us back.

The house was exactly as described and even more. the kitchen had all the appliances you need including an air fryer and 3 different kinds of coffee machines (for all kind of pods and regular brew). The house was well stocked in pan and dishes, glasses, plates and silverware (enough to feed a large group), dish soap, paper towels, dishwasher and laundry detergents, dryer sheets, shampoos, conditionner, hand and shower soaps, firewood, towels, bed sheets etc... and even had some sugar, flour, some spices, coffee pods, and other non perishable supplies ready for us to use.The house was very clean. The hosts did everything possible to get your to start your vacation on a good foot. They were also very responsive to communication through the app. The house itself is great with amazing beach and ocean views. We spent a lot of time on the decks, admiring dolphins swim right under our windows. The beach is not large but right there when you get down from the house. It is very convenient. The little community is very welcoming and quiet. It was very relaxing. We did some excursions to nearby state parks and to Tallahassee. It is a little remote location away from the busy seaside life of the 30A area we were used to and we liked that aspect a lot. We will definitely consider coming back there with no hesitation for a future family vacation.
