Overall a nice stay. It is across from a cemetery, which I should have did more research before to avoid this, however, if you do not have issue with that the house is cute and well equipped. The host is communicative and responsive. The WiFi did not work during our stay, was not a huge deal for us. Bed was comfortable and the house was clean for the most part. Check out instructions a little unclear since there was no dumpster to take trash to and no dishwasher, or clean sponges to wash dishes with.

Karly, thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you found the home comfortable, well-equipped, and appreciated our communication.
For the benefit of future guests, we would like to clarify a few inaccuracies. Throughout the stay, no questions or concerns regarding the WiFi, trash disposal, or kitchen supplies were communicated to us. Had they been, we would have gladly assisted. There are three large commercial trash cans located on the property, and ample cleaning supplies, including new sponges, are stocked under the kitchen sink.
Our listing pin accurately reflects the location of the home so guests can research the surrounding area prior to booking.
Additionally, the reservation disclosed one pet, however two pets were brought to the property. Following this guests departure, extensive damage was discovered to the front door, door jamb, surrounding trim, and drywall as a result of excessive forced entry into the home, resulting in approximately $2,000 in repairs. In over five years of hosting, we have never experienced damage of this magnitude.
While we wish Karly the best, based on our experience we would not recommend hosting this guest or recommend her to other hosts.
Dakota was an awesome host! She communicated quickly and made sure we were taken care of on our stay! The house is perfect driving distance to the beach on a golf cart. Super clean and cute. We’ll definitely be back!
We needed just one more night of beach time before school started, very last minute & this little cottage made it possible. The property is tiny but very well thought out & had everything we needed for a quick trip to Port A. We had an issue with some of the lights but the owner fixed very quickly. I would definitely recommend if you don’t need a yard or onsite washer/dryer.
I gave this property and overall five star rating. Was very clean and comfortable. However, needs a few more items in the kitchen. I am a short term, rental owner myself. I would say add a large bowl… As we needed one for salad and pots and pans, need to be replaced especially the frying pan. I throw mine out all the time when the nonstick starts to come off otherwise everything was great and I will be staying here again.

Thank you for the review and feedback! We do appreciate all the feedback we receive and are always looking for ways to improve our guests stay. We will definitely add mixing bowls and change out the damaged pots and pans. Thanks for being a great guest and we look forward to having you back in the future!
I did not get to stay in cozy cottage because my Mom went in to ER and I had to go back to MN. When I tried to cancel the reservations I had to call the VRBO HELP DESK. The web site would not let me cancel because it said my reservation had already begun - even though my check in was the next day.
When I talked to the VRBO representative they said that the check in date had already occurred because apparently the time zone they were in was a day earlier. When I pointed out that my rental was located in CST and my check in date hadn't yet arrived they said that was too bad but they couldn't help it. It was very disappointing.
