This Cottage is nestled in a quiet residential area. The backyard provides a wonderful view of the gulf where you can watch the dolphines and manatees swim while sitting on the upper deck. The cottage comes equiped with everything from soup to nuts! The beds are comfortable with extra blankets and pillows. The cottage is cozy and comfortable. Communication with the host was wonderful and any questions I had were answered in a timely manner. Wish I could have stayed longer, hopefully I'll be back in the future.

Owner sold the nice kitchen table while we were there replaced with one that was not as nice. We cleaned the couch of dog prints before we sat but we love dogs so it was fine. The BBQ grill was never ever cleaned we took care of it. All that said we had a fantastic time. Loved watching the dolphins and birds. Will stay here again when we go back to florida
