Dreamy Spring Break Getaway!
Spring Break in 30A is a dream and we were so lucky to stay at Susan’s cottage this year! Immaculately clean, all details so well thought out (ie- makeup wipes in bathrooms; clearly labeled under sink items for laundry and dishwasher; value pack of all sizes of zip lock baggies in pantry; and completely stocked kitchen appliances and items; and cleaning items unlocked and available to maintain sand pickup like broom and vaccuums). Beds were so comfortable, bathrooms (and entire house) were spotless, and the back patio and front porch were cherries on top. We spent morning coffees on the porch swing dreaming about retiring on 30A one day. We (my husband and me), our 3 kids (15, 5 and 3) as well as our teen’s 2 best friends- made such great memories at the cottage. Highly recommend staying at cottage during your next trip to 30A! Thanks again, Susan!

Christmas Vacation
Upon arrival, the home was more beautiful than the pictures listed on the website. It was very clean and spacious with lots of storage. The kitchen was stocked with everything needed to bake cookies or cook a nice dinner. The coffee station was pretty nice too. Great location, as the beach is literally a couple of blocks away with cool neighborhood shops. Overall, our family was extremely happy and will book again without hesitation. ** The property owner, Sandy, was very responsive during stay. If we had questions or needed anything, she was readily available.**

Perfect Holiday Stay
This was the perfect cottage for our family gathering during the Thanksgiving Holiday. Beautiful Cottage, great location, walking distance to the beach and shopping. The home accommodated our large group well. The host was very responsive and considerate of our family’s needs. We had all of the comforts of home, full kitchen and thank goodness for all of the cookware as it really came in handy. The host seemed to think of everything right down to a serving platter for the turkey ,we would definitely stay here again.
