Quiet ,clean, and safe location. Walkable to a variety of local restaurants and live music. The fenced in yard was a bonus for our two doggies. We look forward to booking again in the future!

Great little cottage

We enjoyed our stay, the host was very welcoming and was there for anything we might have needed. Clean well kept place to enjoy vacation. Just steps from the beach and located close to many restaurants and bars. We would definitely stay here again.

Great stay. Unit had all the amenities I needed. It was just steps to the beach. The street in front does get busy sometimes, especially on Saturday night.

Jude the owner and staff are very attentive to your needs, we spent 3 weeks at this cute cottage just step from the gulf beach and had an amazing time. Would recommend this beachside cottage. We can't wait for next year. Thank you!

My pup and I had the best time in this cottage. It is perfect for a mom and her pup. Jude was very nice and accomodating. We will definitely go back. We had a blast!

Great Vacation

The host was responsive to our request for a few kitchen items. The property was as advertised. The beach was family friendly and a short walk from the property. I had not expected that the house is right beside the main road, so there was noise from all the passing vehicles, and getting into and out of the drive was a bit challenging.We would stay here again.

Cozy apartment for two in a vintage cottage

What can I say, it was steps away from the beach like advertised! And what a great beach. A cute and cozy little place with a small kitchen perfect for cooking breakfast and small meals as needed. The hosts did a phenomenal job with any questions or needs that came up. Very quick to respond. The AC went unexpectedly and the issue was resolved within hours.

This quaint, 3-room, 100-year old dwelling hides like a jewel amongst the condos on the beach side of Gulf Blvd. There are some quirks: the bathroom situated between the bedroom and kitchen, and a parking space that requires either backing into or off of Gulf Blvd. It is literally a few easy steps from a beautiful beach with no road to cross. The outdoor space has abundant trees which offer privacy from the condos and the road. The landscaping has been restored so that one would not suspect that Helene had 'visited.' The owner is quite personable and lives on the property. We've shared our suggestions for that 5th star. We would stay here again.
