Perfect lil cottage. Welcome sign and music on cd upon arrival, gave that lil extra niceness to enter. Enjoyed all the antiques, art, decor and a very comfy queen bed.

The home was situated in the historic district and was easy walking distance to the commercial area. It was vey tastefully decorated. It reminded of a Key West property we stayed at. The property was represented as the listing stated. My wife enjoy cycling and pickleball and it’s a great area for both of these activities. Many Thanks

John was very kind and accommodating. When I walked in there was a sign personally welcoming me and nice relaxing music playing. He has everything you can think of to make your stay comfortable. The outside areas are welcoming, relaxing, and quiet. So many little places to sit and drink coffee, wine, or read. I would highly recommend The Dickerman Cottage.
