Cute property, great location

The property is very nice, right by the water. The hosts were awesome, we found a welcome basket when we arrived, and they had even provided items and advice for our dog, who was travelling with us. There are a ton of restaurants within just a couple of minutes walk, and parking was very convenient. 100% would use this host again!

Excellent Location!

The unit was within easy walking distance to many restaurants and the beach! It was perfect for what we needed (2 adults). The kitchen had everything we needed. The bathroom was a bit small but was fine for us two. Mary provided beach towels and a couple of chairs for the beach since we flew it was great to have those things available! We enjoyed our stay!

We were a small group of friends visiting Indian Rock Beach for the second time. The location of the cottage is excellent with many restaurants and stores in walking distance. The cottage was well appointed, comfortable and just what we wanted. The beach equipment and towels were a plus, also the laundry equipment. We all hope to visit in the future.

Beautiful beach

Mary and Dave made our stay most enjoyable. They were prompt to answer our questions prior to and during our stay. When we arrived we found a well equipped and clean condo. The kitchen had all kinds of equipment and all you need in a kitchen The bathroom even had extra toothbrushes. They had beach towels, beach chairs, umbrella, beach cart, body boards. The location is perfect, one block away from the beach and close to multiple restaurants. They are close to two parks.. The smaller park is next door and the second one is one block away.. We forgot some items at the condo and they contacted us and mailed them to us. We really enjoyed our stay and would love to come back.

We came for a long weekend and we’re very satisfied. The location is within walking distance to the beach (5 minutes), the bay is behind the property, restaurants, shops are a 5 minute walk. Property was clean and had everything we needed. It was nice to be able to bring our dog with us and not have to pay an extravagant amount for her. We will be back!
