Perfect Vacay Location

This was my favorite beachfront place I have stayed at. The beach access was great. The beach was not overly crowded on a Memorial weekend. The upper deck had awesome views. We had a perfect vacation!

Wonderful stay

Check in was great we all got to meet Donna, the owner and later her husband Al. They are as nice as can be and were helpful and responsive. The upper unit has an amazing view with plenty of seating on the deck. It was so clean and had everything we needed. Only steps to the beach! It’s a great location nestled in a small strip of beach made up of homes rather than high rises. This makes the beaches nice and quiet. I would recommend to anyone.

The Beach Cottage We Have Dreamed Of

We loved our time here. Loved that we could see the water and hear the surf and have toes in sand in a heartbeat. Loved chilling on the deck. Al & Donna were great! We hope to return.

Family vacation

From the moment we got here Donna and Al were very accommodating! This is a nice property with beautiful views in a perfect location. The beach was very quiet and under a 100 steps away. Lots of shops and many different restraunts within waking distance or a short drive. Would recommend this property to everyone! 🙂

Perfection!

The hubby and I rented the top floor for a Monday-Saturday visit during the second week of September. First, the place was spotless, had everything we needed, and the view from the balcony was wonderful (and gave us protected viewing during a storm from hurricane Francine). Second, the timing of our visit was perfect, since it was mostly older tourists. There is a 4-story hotel next door, but that gave us more to watch as we sat on the balcony. Third, the beach is...well, literally right there. You have a private gate exiting the backyard, which puts you on the short wooden walkway, and you're on the beach! Also, it's centered between, and far away from, the condos, so this section of beach was pretty empty. Fourth, Al & Donna were wonderful hosts! She checked in on us during the big storm, and Al came over to help us figure out something technical with the TV. Just a great, relaxing visit, and I highly recommend this second floor rental!

Perfect Beach Get Away

We recently stayed at the Baby Bahama beach cottage. This cottage checked all the boxes for a wonderful 5 days! We were met by Donna upon our arrival. She was so welcoming and helpful by giving us information about local stores and restaurants! The cottage was perfect. It was very clean, comfortably furnished and right on the beach, as advertised! We enjoyed sitting on the balcony where the view was heavenly. We did not have any issues but we felt very comfortable that Donna and Al were only a phone call away if we had any needs or questions. We would definitely rent this cottage again!!

Military style rules when met by owner at check in!

Property was not as described .When met by Al at check in, I was told /Do Not Open windows or doors,Do not sit on the wood chairs on deck when you are wet,sit on the plastic chairs.Do not open sliding doors to listen to ocean,sit on deck to hear ocean. Do not turn thermostat below 70*. When you go out for the day turn thermostat to 78*. I do not smoke but my traveling partner does,was told if you smoke you must leave the property and go to the beach or the street to smoke. Al stated you can see the sunset if you walk to the beach and because the tall building beside the cottage obstructs the view.No Hot water,Tiolet in hall bathroom will not flush properly,had to fluch 5 times to get waste to go down.Latch on gate to beach does not work properly due to rotting wood.Was told to make sure gate into property is closed at all times, the latch is a old chain link fence latch that needs adjusting.Prpperty had a old smell as entering,says its up to date (1980's era) rust on fridge. Was told that chair in living room was torn because prior renters sat on it wet with sandy clothes(clearly worn for years) Was told to park to right in parking,which I did for the night I stayed there,because the person that stays longer should get the best spot.Al also said that there are no Sharks in the water near the condo(Really?) If I had not been so tired from traveling I would have told him to forget it! I just needed to lay my head down. After sleeping 1 night ,we left to find another place to stay,which we did.I emailed the owners and said I had left and was very disappointed and would agree to pay for 2 nights since I didn't email them until the second day. Be very careful if you decide to rent this cottage because even if you are disappointed the owners say NO REFUND whatsoever!!!! I contacted VRBO also about this and have yet to hear back. I would NOT recommend this to anyone at any price!!!!
