Loved the location and the size of the house for our stay. House was perfect for our stay. The kitchen was well equipped and house was clean. We enjoyed our evenings on the back deck with a gorgeous view of the beach and ocean.

Everything was excellent: proximity to beach, kitchen supplies, cleanliness, host, everything. But the house had very subpar furniture. I would probably say the furnishings came from yard sales. Would I stay there again…Absolutely! We go for the beach, furniture is secondary!

CSB My Favorite Place

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Duneside Cottage was a delight. There were only two of us so the home was plenty big. The amenities were amazing, as a matter of fact, when I got home I ordered a frying pan just like the one I used for every delicious seafood meal I prepared in the house. The Cape is our favorite place in the world because it is still pretty much “forgotten” and we live in South Florida that is “not forgotten “. Such a relaxing getaway Cannot wait for August 2027. We have already booked through Donna who is such pleasure to work with.

The house is exactly as pictured and set up better than the pictured can capture. The view, the privacy of the beaches, the cleanliness of the beaches, the fun little restaurants nearby, the nighttime beach fires! It was a perfect getaway for 2!

Great little beach house

This house was the perfect size for my family. Bathrooms and kitchen looked to be recently remodeled. There was a private outdoor shower with hot and cold water. Beautiful gulf views everyday and sunsets every evening. Great location on the cape. Nice quiet street.

Lovely cottage!

This was such a sweet little cottage! As described. Very clean. The only suggestion that I have is a new mattress in the queen bedroom, saggy in the middle but other than that, it was perfect! Only a few steps to the beach. I definitely would recommend this cottage for future stays

Great location

My experience was excellent. Donna was very helpful in finding this property after one I had rented earlier fell through. We have been coming to the cape for more than 30 years, and love this location because no vehicles drove through! This house is small, and I wish the deck was larger and at least partly screened, but we still loved it!
