Geat Place To Stay

This is a cute little place to stay. Just perfect for two people. It had a beachy feel, a nice wooden walkway to the beach, and close to John's Pass. It was very reasonably priced. I would definitely stay there again!

Rock Lobster cottage 2

We loved the location, just a short walk to the beach and many good restaurants and bars within walking distance. The weather didn't really cooperate while we were there so we spent more time in the cottage than we anticipated.

Great stay. Right by the Beach!

The place was clean, well maintained, and a 30 second walk from the beach. The staff was responsive to any question or concern we had during our stay. The unit was everything we wanted, and nothing that we didn't. For the price, I don't think we could have done better.

Nice Cozy Cottage

This cottage was small but very clean! The futon was extremely uncomfortable to sit on in the evening and the TV was a little difficult to figure out for elderly but very nice place.

Great Location! Cozy and clean! Great Price!

Recently stayed here in July for a weekend and absolutely loved it. Just out the front door is a private boardwalk straight to the beautiful treasure island beach. The bed was very comfortable and the wall mounted A/C kept the bedroom plenty cool for comfortable sleep. The small fridge has plenty of room for a weekend worth of meals. I would definitely recommend you check this place out!

Cute one-bedroom

Cute little condo or apt with direct beach access. Kitchenette with microwave was handy. It could use a bit of low profile walkway lighting.

Great for a weekend getaway

This place was a perfect place for my husband & I to stay for a couple of nights. We were in town to go to the Ray's games over the weekend. Location was great!! Our TV wouldn't change channels and Bill got to us very quickly and got it up and working again. WE will definitely stay again. ! :)

cozy- great location!

We had a great time visiting this cozy cottage. Great beach access as well close to restaurants, bars, and shops. Great for two people! It has a small fridge and outdoor lighting was not working. I contacted via email about the lights, to which I had received no response. However, we would definitely stay there again!

Great Beach Rental

This was a cozy lil cottage that was just what we wanted. Great location. 30 secs from the beach was great. We spent every day there. Shopping and dining were just 10-15 min walk away w everything u needed. Cottage had everything we needed. Only downfall was a dorm fridge instead of full sized. Tough to get groceries for the week. Overall it was a fantastic stay w great location.
