gorgeous cottage in great location

Fantastic stay! Great layout, a lot of thought was put into making it a great experience. Adorable, tastefully decorated, bed is VERY comfortable, loved the kitchen and watching movies in living room, very clean! The dogs loved it! Plenty of outdoor seating and nooks to read, nice, covered porches, and great lighting in living room/dining for reading, crafting, and games (I typically bring a lamp – didn’t have to use). One of the few places I’ve stayed that has a place to store groceries (empty pantry). The owner has 2 other properties I’d like to check out – but, I definitely want to stay here again!

We had an amazing time! Everything we needed was there at the house. The location is perfect and the cottage was perfect for all our needs giving the adults and the kids their own spaces. We will be back!

We celebrated my wife's 50th birthday here with our JRT and it was outstanding. The coziness yet ample space of the property were perfect for the 3 of us. The views of the ocean were amazing, the property is close enough to listen to the crashing waves throughout the night, and the beach access was great! Great natural light with water views throughout house. Plenty of seating inside and on the back deck and there's a small fenced in area for quick dog potty breaks. Door lock is digital which always made in/out quick; front pathway is double-door-gated so safety for dog was a plus; and the lush garden-lined pathway provided a tropical feel. Property is close to restaurants to walk and pick up takeout as well as quick drive to traffic circle to get to Publix. We'd love to return to this property and would highly recommend!
