This was one of the best Vrbo reservations that we have made! Location was perfect, close to the beach street yet in a neighborhood community, felt very safe. The home was impeccable in cleanliness, and the decor was celebrating our Mardi Gras tradition - loved it. Will definitely attempt to return in the summer to enjoy the outdoor lighted patio and swing. Thanks, Nikki, for sharing your home with us.

This house was the perfect place for 3 couples to spend a long weekend. Clean, spacious, everything we needed AND 3 king beds! We rented a 6 seater golf cart for our stay, our vehicles never moved. I would recommend staying here and would stay here again.

Great Stay!

The cottage is very nice and in a nice neighborhood right near the heart of downtown. It has all the little extra touches that you don’t always see, extra outlets in the bedrooms for charging devices, tons of mirrors, and plenty of kitchen utensils. We had a great stay!

Daughter's 30th Bday celebration

This was our second stay at this property and once again it was perfect for us. It is very comfortable, in a great location, super clean and well appointed. The three kings beds are the crowning touch. We enjoyed every minute and highly recommend Castaway Cottage. Can't wait to come back.

The cottage is perfectly located - easy to walk or golf cart to restaurants and shops but not to close to noise and crowds Decore is lovely and welcoming and most important comfortable. Even my little pooch was welcomed Nikki was accessible to answer any questions that I had. I would definitely recommend

The perfect getaway

We booked for a weekend getaway not knowing the jeeping the coast and the Bayfest would be going on. It’s close enough to the the beach and local shops to walk but far enough away to have peace and quiet when you are done for the day. We will be back.

Beautiful fall getaway

we were two couples in our 50s who went to St. Louis to celebrate a birthday. The fact that this house had all king-size beds was a selling point for us. Communication with the host has been the best I’ve ever had with very quick replies to the couple of questions I had. look forward to staying here again
