Great old cottage, quaint. It was quiet and in a peaceful neighborhood within walking distance to town.It had everything we needed, but if you are going to cook while staying you may want to bring cooking spray, napkins and hand soap for the bathroom. We’d stay again !

Charming, beautifully restored cottage in a great location, perfect walking distance for all of the quaint downtown shops and restaurants. The house was spotless, the decor welcoming. Only a short drive to the beautiful beaches of St. George Island. Nice size for a couple or small family with sofa bed. Thank you for making our stay awesome!
