This was a prime spot on the island. Close to shops and restaurants but even closer to the beach. We enjoyed our time here and will book again. Jill is a very responsive host.

Another Great Weekend

Great, as usual. We love the location and the building, too. A nice slice of old Florida beaches, but with today’s conveniences. A/C, TV, internet…plus with the other amenities like a kitchen with a real stove and refrigerator (although, we didn’t need them this time). We had one hiccup when the shower quit working…Jill had it taken care of early the next day. All in all, we had a great time and we’re ready to reserve again for next year! Thanks to Jill!

Great property

This was a great property and perfect size and set up for what I needed for a week at the beach. The only negative thing was the shower. The water pressure was not great and a took a bit of guesswork to figure out the temperature. Jill was great to communicate everything about my stay and ensured my stay went well.

Winter Getaway

Quaint and cozy cottage. Very clean, well equipped, and close beach access made it a beautiful place to see the sunset. The place is ideally set to see new sites while walking the dog, the beach to roam, access to trolley rides, and a beautiful heated pool area to kick my feet up and relax in quietness. Jill was on top of things all the time with her desire to accommodate every need. Excellent host! My two weeks may have been a little cool, windy and rainy, but it was wonderful compared to a foot and half of snow and below zero temperatures back. I hope to be back next year.

Great little spot with BEST host

Jill does an incredible job of welcoming guests. We were very sick for most of trip but she made the stay a positive experience. Cute little place. Big step up into bathroom may be difficult for someone with mobility issues. Wonderful to walk out of room right onto pool deck. Great location with easy access to beach. We'll be back!

Fantastic Location and accommodations!

My wife and I really loved our stay. The location was close to everything and the beach is across the street. The condo had everything we needed and more storage space for all the gear we brought with us. The pool was clean. Jill was great and answered emails and calls promptly. We had the best time and will be back!

Cozy Place

We’ve stayed here a few other times and have always enjoyed it. A short walk to the beach makes sunsets easy to see. As for food, there are several bars and restaurants in the area easily accessible by the golf cart cabbies and busses running on Gulf Drive throughout the day. We just finished our stay and have already scheduled another stay next year. Jill, the owner, is a phenomenal host. She’s friendly and a great communicator. Thanks for a great time Jill!
