We really enjoyed this little cottage type house. It reminded my of the cottage my grandparents had. Very clean, we had everything we needed, beds were comfy, beach was a short drive, and the neighborhood is super quiet. One bedroom was a little warm, but using the fan to pull the air into the room worked perfectly. My only complaint is I couldn't stay longer! I would definitely book again. Thank you for making the stay comfortable and easy.

Great stay! Would highly recommended. It’s in a very nice quiet area of the island. Easy access to the beach within a mile of the house. Family really enjoyed the vintage feel of the house. We stayed the middle to end of June and the no air conditioning in the second bedroom was a non issue. I slept in there and was cool the entire stay. My only draw back was I like having a tv in the bedroom but it wasn’t a deal breaker. Will stay again next time we are in town.

Thank you for taking time to share your feedback Amanda, we truly appreciate it and are so pleased you enjoyed your stay. We enjoy thrifting and supporting the circular economy so we attempted to find unique pieces for our home. Glad you liked the vintage vibe! As we approach these July heatwaves we installed an AC unit in the 2nd bedroom- so if you return when it’s even hotter you’ll have that as an option. Thank you for the TV call out. We did make a conscious decision to make the bedrooms TV free zones after learning that helps promote sleep hygiene- we love TV but we also love sleep, and we want to help folks be empowered to unplug and take a little break from screen time to maximize rest while on vacation. (I will work on updating the listing so this is clear) Thank you again for the thoughtful review. We hope you’ll revisit soon-you are always welcome!

Tucked in Away from Beach Traffic

Perfect quiet location for visiting OKI. Tucked away from the constant drone of summer beach traffic, this cute little cottage was a perfect destination for rest as it is close to everything!!!

Q³ - quintessentially quaint quietude. Perfect place for couples or small families. Less than a mile walk from the beach, less than a block from the intracoastal. Highly recommended.

Lovely Place!

My husband, daughter and father stayed for a few nights to get away and go to the beach. The place is lovely and has pretty much everything you need. It’s just a very short drive to the beach and a few minutes to downtown for restaurants and grocery stores. One of the bedrooms didn’t have an ac unit and it got very hot throughout the night so we had to set a fan in the hallway to help cool that room down. Over all, it’s a lovely little place to stay and we would recommend it if you have an opportunity to stay here.

not very clean

We arrived and had to vacuum the whole house. There was sticky sand all over the floors. Both beds were made and had little placards on them that said the beds were ready to jump into, despite some pretty obvious and gross stains on one of the duvet covers that clearly indicated otherwise. It was too hot for a comforter anyway so we just stripped the bed. We liked everything else about our stay
