This is a fantastic space for families to gather and still have space to themselves. You have everything you need in the kitchen to prepare and serve meals. Also the sun sets behind this unit so you can enjoy sitting out on the decks in the late afternoon and still see the gulf. It’s literally a 3 minute walk to the beach, and if you run into any issues Peggy is right on it!!!! This is our third time staying at this property and we enjoy it every single time!!!!

The only reason I did not give 5 stars for stay was due to the refrigerator died on us. However, that being said, the host worked quickly and efficiently on getting maintenance out and then a new one ordered. The unit was great in every other way! I loved the views of the Gulf as well as being able to see the pools from the porch! I will definitely stay here again!

This unit was wonderful for our family of 7. We enjoyed being able to walk to the pool and beach, and it was nice to leave sandy beach toys in the bottom driveway each evening. The view is the beach was both balconies was the best part of each morning!

Wonderful family vacation

We have stayed at this property multiple times and have been pleased each trip. Great location and proximity to the beach, as well as beach/hot tub… the kids loved the fun beach gear/toys that the hosts had for guests to use… and the adults enjoyed sitting on the balcony to relax at night. It’s truly a “home away from home” each time we visit!

Would highly recommend this cottage! We rented both units for our family of 14 and it was perfect. The walk to the beach is easy and the cottage is directly across from two pools and a hot tub. Can't wait to come back next summer!!!
