The house looked like the pictures and it was in a great location on the island. We did enjoy our stay. However, it is in need of a deep clean and general maintenance.

Thank you for your review of True Knot Cottage. I’m glad the house matched the photos and you enjoyed the location. I apologize it needed a deeper clean and some general maintenance — that shouldn’t have been the case. I’ll share your feedback with our housekeeping and maintenance teams so they can address these issues. We appreciate your comments and hope to host you again.

We loved this house for a mothers daughters trip!! Lots of sleeping and hanging out space. The second floor porch/piazza was a highlight. Great location for villages and shopping area. Rented bikes and a golf cart to get around. Beach and pool at the end of the street. Very each and affordable to have a beach section of chairs and umbrellas each day. Great house and area. We loved SSI!!

House was very nice. The bedrooms were roomy and beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was very nice with adequate utensils etc. The porches were awesome and comfortable. Housekeeping needs to give attention to these outdoor areas as well as the indoor areas. The sofas were covered in stretchy slipcovers that didn't stay in place and were not what was pictured in the listing. The front/porch door was very hard to open but seems that this could be an easy fix. We received texts and emails with check in and check out instructions but they did not give the same information so be sure to check all communications to be sure you are properly informed about all aspects of your stay. Overall it was a great stay.

Great place to stay

The home is beautiful and spacious. It is in a fantastic location. The beach is only a few minutes away by foot with your own private access to the beach and only a couple minutes drive to get “downtown”.

Great cottage in amazing location !

We loved staying at True Knot Cottage! It was such a great house for our family. There was plenty of space for us all to spread out. The kitchen was very well stocked and we loved the side porch, we ate almost every meal out there. We would love to stay there again!

Excellent Rental

The residence was in great shape; very clean, organized, and well equipped. The location is perfect walking distance to the pool and beach. Several good restaurants nearby to top it off! Thoroughly enjoyed this rental and would strongly consider renting the exact house.

True Knot Cottage was great

Had a great time, love the house. All the furnishings have a great beach vibe. Sitting on the porch was very enjoyable. Went there to play golf but actually spent more time at the pool and beach.

Cozy beach house that’s well appointed.

This was a great location for our family of five. The kitchen was very nice and we enjoyed spending Thanksgiving in this well furnished home. Great porches and living space for spending time together. Coast cottages is the best location for beach access and central to island activities. We have been many times to various properties in this location and will definitely come again!

East Beach cottage

We loved the house. The location was terrific. The house had umbrellas, chairs, a wagon to get it all down to the beach and that was fantastic! The kitchen was well stocked. It was comfortable house for the six of us.
