Thank you Dennis and Barbara for sharing this house with us. It's the most homey, fun, comfy house we have ever rented on vacation. This house is intentionally designed to encourage family fun. As my son said, "It's the best hide and seek house ever!"We ended up staying "home" more than anticipated and yet were not bored for a second (and we never turned the TV on)!The listing photos don't do it justice. It's very well built and decorated with antiques. The AC was great, the water pressure and temps perfect as well. You could probably walk in with a few changes of clothes and a bathing suit and they have anticipated every little need you could have forgotten. The one thing we'd share is that the king bedroom has a vent directly into the kitchen, so it's not a great room for sleeping in or heading to bed early. A sound machine or two could be helpful to bring now that I'm thinking about it! We purchased a fan so we could sit outside as Florida, quite naturally, has mosquitos. The fan kept them at bay when the tiki bug candles didn't cut it (provided).

If we could give this cottage higher than 5 Stars, we would. It is the most unique place we have ever stayed at. It is finished in Cape Cod fashion with great attention to detail. The backyard has a gazebo, horseshoes, ping pong table, lots of seating and an incredible pirate ship with slide, swings and play area inside the ship and on the deck. Great for kids ready for a pirate adventure! Inside the spacious cottage, you will find it well stocked and equipped with all the conveniences of home. It’s extremely clean with comfortable beds, sofas and chairs. Our host even provided a gift basket from local shops! We highly recommend Pennies From Heaven and will return for another stay.

Great property, filled with so much character. The location is excellent and the house itself is very well maintained, well stocked with all the necessities and has plenty of room for several people. The backyard is great for relaxing and for kids to play. The hosts showed amazing hospitality with great instructions and even provided some much-appreciated sweet treats. I would definitely stay here again if in the area.

The house is charming, well laid out and comfortable. Also very clean. Back yard is a fjj funland for kids of all ages. Neighborhood is quiet, close to ocean and good restaurants. Hosts were very welcoming and responsive to questions. Many natural areas to hike, bike, or kayak within 30 minutes. Grocery store is close as is a YMCA. One of our best ever experiences and we plan to return next year.
