This charming cottage was the perfect getaway for my husband and I! Many of the neighbors live here year round and they were so welcoming. The cottage had all the amenities needed to grill out, relax and fish right on the property. There are also many towns nearby for shopping, dining and nightlife! Thank you so much for providing a place that was incredibly relaxing! We will definitely be back!

Weather and Fishing could have been better, but the little house had great views. Had everything we needed for a weeklong stay. Just keeping it real, it is an older home, so it does show it's wear and tear. Could use a handyman's touch in almost every room. We made it work and had a great time.

The property was as pictured but at check-in the property was missed by the cleaning service. Taylor and Carter were very nice and willing to work with us to make it right. After that we had a great stay location was awesome and the place was cozy for me wife and two girls. I docked my boat on swan creek and we enjoyed time out on the water whenever we wanted and the weather cooperated. Thanks for sharing your place- great memories.

Great location just not very boat friendly. Dead end road with no turn around. Had to back boat down street. Not outside plug in to charge boat. Wish there was TVs in rooms

The property was the perfect location within 2 minutes from our family and the marina. The only thing we struggled with was the master bedroom mattress was firmer than we are used to. This is a personal preference and by no means a problem with the host or cottage.

The cottage is astetically charming, but definitely looks better in pictures. The master bed was dreadful and uncomfortable. A foam mattress on a frame, extremely hard, and low to the ground. We ended up sleeping on the couch in the living room. The couch pillows were lumpy, and the cushions were flat. I attempted to flip the cushions, but there were massive amounts of food crumbs underneath. When the blower on the furnace (located near the living room) turned on it sounded as if it were going to take off like an airplane. Air blowing out of the floor vent blew cool air at the couch, so we had to cover it. The counters were gritty, the fridge wasn't properly wiped out, and the stove had grime built up on it. Like I mentioned earlier, it looked much better in the pictures. The host was easily reachable. The location was easy to navigate. The view was pretty. We did leave after just 1 night even though we reserved for 2.

House felt very large. Nice high ceilings especially in the master which had a very comfortable bed. Kitchen was well equipped with a dishwasher, nice size refrigerator, wine fridge, nice cookware. Washer and dryer, nice bathroom. And my goodness the view of the canal and marina. Loved staying there and would do so again. Couple boat related details if you’re bringing one. Depth on the sea wall is about 1.5 but the channel to it is about 4. Nearest launch is fair view about 1.5 miles east, so if you’re the only driver expect to launch each day. If you launch each day you have to separate trailer and truck to make the parking area work. Sounds like a big deal but it’s not bad.
