"Great location, adorable house! We loved being so close to the historic district/ river front and having an easy drive to the beach. The fenced in front yard was perfect for traveling with pets."

This is a very cute pet-friendly cottage!!! Very walkable to shops and restaurants and nice to walk the neighborhood. It has everything you need. The only trouble we had was trying to figure out the thermostat but we got it. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

This is a fantastic VRBO! Great neighborhood, Good location, Excellent communication with our host, Wonderful amenities, Very clean. I called it "return-ably perfect!" Seriously, we were very comfortable here. We enjoyed the ability to walk to most of our destinations but enjoyed the home enough to choose to stay in at times. The kitchen had everything we needed for our meals. The space lent itself to having separate conversations or coming together to watch the World Series! Once you turned in at night and closed your door, it was extremely quiet. Great Place!
