Very nice property and easy access to the beach. No view of the gulf from the lower deck but it was just steps away.TV didn't work and hosts had a new one same day as we reported it. Had a great time.

Thank you for taking the time to review us which is always appreciated! So future guests know...the TV was working. It was just taking a minute or so for a clear picture to come on so we did replace it immediately for them. Also as shown in the pictures on the website, there is a fence around the property and though you cannot see the sand from the deck there is definitely a partial gulf water view over the fence.

We really enjoyed our stay here. Very clean, easy access to the beach. A few things could use some updating, like the recliners and dishwasher. Could use some baking sheets and maybe some whisks. And the water in the master bathroom fluctuates a little. But the beds were comfortable. Couch was comfortable, kitchen was functional. Place was very clean. Fit our family comfortably. It was nice to be able to walk out the door and through the gate and be on the beach. Host was very attentive and responded quick. Definitely would recommend to others.

Thank you so much for the 5 star review and for the suggestions and we are so glad you enjoyed your stay! We review everything in the off season and update what we see needs updating. Our kitchen is very well stocked and there is a baking sheet and there actually was a whisk before. We tell our guests if there is anything they need to please tell us and we will do our best. We don't understand what is meant by the water fluctuating in the master bathroom. We have tankless water heaters and it is normal for the water to take a minute or so to become hot but you have endless hot water, unlike a regular water heater. Thank you again!

Thank you for the 5 star review and we are so glad you enjoyed our cottage and your stay! The picture of the property shows the view exactly as it is. Though there is a privacy fence around the property and the lower unit does not have a direct view of the sandy beach and shoreline as the upper cottage does, it does have a partial gulf water view over the fence that can be seen from inside and outside of the lower cottage. And if you step outside the gate, our beautiful sandy beach is just a few steps away!

Perfect Getaway Stay

Everything about my stay was perfect-the initial booking, Donna meeting me at the property for check-in, the location, the cottage, plenty of restaurants in the area, relative privacy of the beach, friendliness of Donna and Al and the overall value for the price. I wouldn't have changed anything. This will be my go-to property for future beach vacations.

Nice location easy access to the beach. We had issue with the place it self and that created communication problems. We did relocate and they did refund all expenses promptly.
Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2025
Response from VrboOwner on Sep 29, 2025
There was absolutely no communication issue on our part as we always responded to their calls and texts in literally a few seconds. Our policies, amount of guests permitted, and size and layout of beds is crystal clear on Vrbo and also reiterated in the rental agreement, texts, and e-mails with these guests. They asked if they could move to the unit upstairs which had a better view. It happened to be vacant for their stay and we told them to look at it first to make sure. They commented that it was the same layout but it was good. The next morning they texted thanking us but had decided they wanted to leave. Even though the reservation is non-refundable, we decided it was better for them to leave and to refund their payment.

Yes& yes. The people in the cottage above us were noisy and didn’t follow the rules we got. We were under the impression we could use a “shared” pool. The owner said no.
Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2026
Response from VrboOwner on Apr 27, 2026
Thank you very much for your review; however we are surprised these guests never mentioned anything at all about our other guests being noisy and not following the rules, since they also did not mention what rules they are talking about. This is especially surprising since at check in I told them, as I always do, if they have any issues please let us know right away and we will take care of it. I also ran into one of the guests twice and both times in friendly conversations I asked if everything was ok and comfortable and he assured me it was. Regarding the pool, we are really perplexed since there is absolutely no mention on Vrbo that the cottage has a pool other than the fact that it clearly states there is NO POOL. There is a private pool for the private property next door but that is a completely different property from the cottages. The guest that assured me that everything was fine did ask if his mom could use the pool next door which surprised me and of course I said it was not part of the cottage rental. I don't know where her impression came from as is stated in the review because there was never any mention of a "shared pool" on Vrbo or by me or by anyone nor are there any pictures of a pool on Vrbo for the lower cottage.
