We really enjoyed our stay. The house is located down a very peaceful street, but still close the village and beaches. We loved the back porch and yard. The house had everything we needed for our stay. We would definitely stay at this home again.

The house is super cute! We love the local art throughout and enjoyed there was so much information about the area to help us decide what to have for dinner. There was plenty of space for the humans and the doggos, having a fenced in yard is fabulous! The location is super convenient to get to anything on the island in minutes

Summer break!

We stayed for 17 days and found the house to be so charming and comfortable. We loved the screened in porch and spent most of our time out there when we were home. The backyard was beautiful with the mossy oaks and my pup loved it. The location was perfect for us! The only complaints we had were the old outlets: most were missing the 3rd prong capability, and the WiFi really needs an extender, but it forced us to be off tv and iPads and enjoy each other!

Family get together/sing along

This was the first time in over 20 years were able to arrange a direct flight and get our disabled/memory impaired brother down from Michigan.The artist cottage had enough beds, and enough space for us to sing or eat together when the local family came over. It was very centrally located and easy to get anywhere we needed to go. Especially St. Williams Catholic Church when my brother was part of or leading the music. Thank you for everything.

The house is run down ….. outdated ….. not maintained ….. we had 1 pot …… roaches ….. we found other Accommodations……we left this place …. Did not say …… real estate management company not doing their job ….. blamed the lack of items on “previous renters must have taken” ….. which means their cleaning / inspection team either missed checking or they did t care if home was equipped and ready for guest …… would not recommend this house to anyone …..

Our dog enjoyed the large fenced backyard. Its in a quiet neighborhood near shops and restaurants, and only a short bike ride away from the beach. The cottage was clean and the kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. We will definitely be back to stay!

Plenty of beach chairs, towels, etc. Guest room had a king bed (listed as a queen). Cons: The shower in the guest bathroom drained very poorly and the kitchen pans, knives, etc. weren't the easiest to work with.

Loved the vintage feel of this house

If you appreciate homes that are not completely renovated, this is a perfect home, still original features, but clean and well cared for. I love the bathrooms still being original, but navigating the shower knobs is a bit of a learning curve, left is hot, turn it on all the way, you need very little cold. (I just saved you 10 minutes for your vacation) Perfect home for dogs, back yard is fenced and secure. Screen porch is amazing. Thanks for sharing your property!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: For a pet friendly home this one was perfect. The back yard was fenced and had plenty of space. I would recommend this home to any pet owner. This home is in need of maintenance, new mattresses, and could use at least one more comfortable chair. The kitchen was nicely stocked but could use an upgrade in the pots and pans and utensils area. It is a nice place but needs some TLC.

Not bad, not great.

Brought my special needs client with me and purchased sheets for the bed before we went as a failsafe to not ruin the house’s linens. The master bed that’s listed as a full is a queen so we had to go purchase new sheets to fit. The bed in the master bedroom was also VERY uncomfortable. The other bed in the single bed room is listed as a queen and is a king. The house was very clean aside from ticks and earwigs we kept finding inside, the tick part was alarming but luckily none of us ever found one stuck on us. The beach supplies were bountiful! And the sand bottles left to collect for keepsakes were a cute touch. The back porch is a 10/10, make use of the bikes! Overall it was fine. Good location, super close to public beach access, and cute community but, also would not book again.

Dated house

House was old with colored tile in bathrooms. It looked like the yard was in bad shape with tons of leaves everywhere. Water did not drain in Master tub. Coffee makes wouldn’t work. Toaster didn’t work either. It was nice having a back yard for the dogs and the bicycles was nice also.

Great house with a not so great experience.

Great house with a not a great experience. The house and layout were beautiful. However the furniture and beds are not comfortable at all and don’t expect a response from the management company. During our stay we had a few broken appliances (toaster and coffee maker) with no replacement offered after an email was sent. Also they do not tell you till after you book the place but they do not offer a lot of supplies, paper goods, soap, etc. we have never stayed at a place that didn’t have enough of the basics to get you thru the week. Unfortunately I cannot recommend this place when there are soo many others that have better management companies.
