This property is absolutely perfect for any couple and their pet! When we arrived there was a fresh bowl of water waiting for our family dog. It was extremely clean and had everything we needed. The location was close to downtown but just far enough away that you didn't feel the bust of it all.

Good location with market and restaurant nearby. The Keurig coffee maker is so old that it does not take k-cups. Otherwise, a great B&B I would use again.

Super fun place to stay!

My hubs and I, along with our pup, stayed here for six days. The location was fantastic, and the Golden Girls theme was awesome!!! The place has everything you need, is clean, and feels relatively spacious despite it only being a one bedroom/one bath. The hosts were awesome—super responsive/communicative and wanted us to have everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again!!!! Highly recommend!!!’

This was such a cute place! My wife loves the Golden Girls so I surprised her with an overnight stay for our 4yr anniversary and she absolutely loved it. Its in a great location only 5-10 mins from downtown/waterfront and in a quiet neighborhood. Brandon had great communication and even offered for us to check in early. Overall great experience and I would not only stay here again myself I'd recommend it to everyone I know.

Is there a rating over 5 stars? If so, I'd give it to this incredible cottage. The attention to detail in the design, decor and all the quality well-thought out touches easily makes the GG Cottage the best, cleanest, and most welcoming I've ever stayed in. It truly was a ‘golden’ experience.

This cottage was conveniently located near downtown in a beautiful historic district, which was also just a quick trip to the beach. This rental was incredibly clean, comfortable, and user-friendly. The GG decor was a hoot and it felt like we were in Miami in the 1980's. It was a blast! We can't wait to return and stay here again!!!! I cannot recommend this cottage enough. Thank you to our wonderful hosts.
