Loved the trees on the property. It was great to have the outdoor area for grilling and relaxing.

We were so pleased with this great little bungalow. We walked to the beach and St. Armands with ease. The weather was not cooperative while we were there but we made the best of it. We were in the bungalow more than we anticipated due to weather and other unforseen circumstances and found it extremely comfortable. This is a great for a couple. The outdoor area was great for the short time we could enjoy it due to the weather. We would have spent more time there if we could. Thanks for a providing a great getaway!

If you are looking for a nice relaxing couples vacation this is the place for you. We spent our 50 wedding anniversary here. Upon arrival there was a bottle of wine waiting for us. Everything you need is within walking distance, from restaurants to shopping and the beach! Loved it! Would definitely stay again!

My newly wedded wife and I just stayed here on our honeymoon and the stay was just perfect! 5 minute walk to Lido beach, 10 minute walk to St. Armand’s circle which is full of restaurants and shopping. It was everything we needed after a long wedding planning year and Sandy was so great to us! 10/10 would recommend

This was a nice property to stay at and enjoy some relaxing time away from home. Definitely would stay here, and the convenience between St. Armand and the beach was amazing.

Fantastic place to stay, walk to beach and St.Armandes Circle are short walks. The bed and pillows are awesome, we slept great!! We did have problems getting hot water the first day, it was fixed right away. The shower facet needs to be replaced or fixed, difficult to get adjusted. Very private area! Yes I would recommend!

My wife and I celebrated our 1st Anniversary during our stay here. We had a wonderful experience! The cottage has everything a couple would need and the location is not even a block from the beach. We really appreciated how quiet the area was as we got some much needed rest during this time off. We wish we could have stayed longer but for next time my wife and I know where to stay. Thank you Sandy!

We were greeted with a box of chocolates because it was a very special time for us - our vow renewal weekend.
The service from start to finish was EXCELLENT and professional, while friendly and accommodating to our needs.
Book WELL in advance as this is a prime location in walking distance to so many things.
Thank you for making our stay so special.

Wonderful little one bedroom that has everything you need and is in a perfect location. It is 800 steps to the shoreline (we counted)!

The cottage is perfect for two people as it is very small. Very convenient to the beach. The pool is closed due to Covid so that was disappointing. Different property manager than posted on Expedia. If you like a hard/firm bed than it’s perfect for you. Location was good for local restaurants, shopping and beach. The only down side for me was communication. Two days into our stay we lost internet and the coffee maker wasn’t working right. We ended up buying a coffee maker. I reached out to property manager about these two issues and she said “Will get things worked out”. Never heard back from her. Four days later we had a power outage. Notified property manager and didn’t hear back from her until I let her know we saw two unity trucks and asked how long for repair. Her response to my letting her know that it would be another half an hour was “I was waiting for them to call me back”. Three hours is a long time to wait for letting me know anything about outage or not to worry. Communication was just lacking when issues came up. We aren’t from the area so not familiar with power outages and who to call, internet going out and no router to reboot and buying our own coffee maker and no one ever came to see if everything was okay. When you rent for ten days and things happen property manager should be in it. FYI we understood it was a holiday weekend and getting back to us would be slow. But to never respond or give an update is not good.

Perfect Place
This VRBO was an absolute gold mine for me and my girlfriend. We were there Saturday to Saturday and it was nothing less than perfect. Perfect size for two people. We made the five minute walk to the beach 5 of the 7 days and almost every night we found ourselves either having dinner or having drinks at the Daiquiri Deck in St. Armands Circle. Again, another very short walk to St. Armands Circle and it has everything you need. Plenty of food variety, drinks, ice cream, amazing atmosphere. Just an amazing spring break for me and my girlfriend.

Perfectly located getaway
5 mins walk to lido beach. 10 min walk to st Armand’s. Great spot to get away from the cold; We worked during our trip. Wifi was little slow at times for work video calls if two people are using at once.

Lovely little cottage in a great location
My partner and I rented thus fir a week while visiting the area and celebrating his brother's 50 th birthday. The location is so convenient if you want to walk to a beautiful beach, good food and shopping. The place is very clean and has everything you need to be comfortable and cozy in between outings!

Wonderful & Convenient Stay
The location is perfect, within walking distance to Lido Beach and St Armands circle.
All your beach necessities are included - chairs, umbrellas, boogie boards, cart, towels.
The property was well maintained and very clean. Great outdoor patio chairs and dining table. Wonderfully comfortable couch.
Two suggestions, would be great to have more than 2 beach towels so you don't have to keep reusing or do laundry, and a full length mirror.
Other than that we had a wonderful time and the hosts were very accommodating.

My wife and I had a great time here. Everything was flawless from check-in to checkout. The house is well appointed for a small house and is extremely clean. We had everything we needed to cook on the grill, hot plate or convection oven (except for foil for the grill).
The house is close to the beach and public pool at about a 5 min walk from both. The public beach was wide, beautiful, clean and has a lifeguard, restrooms and a nice concession stand.
There are plenty of beach items available in the house (umbrellas, chairs, cart, a few toys, etc).
The only thing I would add to the house would be two extra beach towels. There are only two beach towels but there is a washer available for use right outside the back door. You can definitely get by with two, but a couple spares makes it a little easier.
We had a minor plumbing issue while we were there but we called Vicki, she answered right away and got the plumber there within 45 mins. They fixed they issue promptly and everything was working well again. Great job resolving the issue quickly. We would definitely stay here again.

Clean, quiet, spacious, close to everything!
This cottage is everything you want in a getaway! It's rooms are a good size for two people, even the bathroom and shower are great. Plenty of hot water. The kitchen is well-equipped and there's a full gas barbecue with a burner for boiling/frying outside if needed. It's got a private space that's got a nice outdoor eating area with an umbrella and two chaise lounges to get some sun. There's full washer/dryer available and a larger fridge in the laundry room if you need more space for freezer/fridge items. The hosts are great! Walk to the beach and to restaurants/shopping. It's the perfect getaway for two people. We've already booked our return.

Very small. Need to sit at an angle on the commode because the vanity is so close. Nice to be able to walk to beach and very hospitable host. Wasn’t as private as we hoped due to tree trimmer working in the yard and pool maintenance- but Overall was great to relax!
