This is an amazing place to stay! I have probably rented 30-40 VRBO condo’s over the past 20 years, and this condo would for sure be in the top 3! The master bed was very comfortable. The kitchen is extremely well stocked. The living room area has a comfortable couch and large screen TV. The bathroom had a great shower (no tub, which we preferred). The difference maker for us was all of the little things that made this condo a great place to stay – plenty of Bounty paper towels, Dawn dish liquid, hooks to hang clothes/towels on in the bedroom, plenty of outlets to charge devices, 4 Corona’s and 4 waters in the fridge waiting for us, a complimentary bottle of wine and a couple quick snacks if you need them! The bikes and kayaks are in great shape and only 30 seconds from your front door. There is a propane fueled firepit and a wood burning firepit with 6 Adirondack chairs – literally right outside of your front door (we used the propane firepit at night and it was awesome). We also used the washer/dryer – it was a 30 second walk from the condo and very clean. There is also a lanai with a table, chairs and fully loaded beach cart. We sat on the lanai many times and enjoyed the breeze. Jen (owner) was very responsive and always clear in her communications. Thanks, Jen, for a great stay! We would most definitely stay at this rental again.

This property was very accommodating & clean. So many items available for our stay. From sunscreen to a forgotten toothbrush. Bikes, kayaks & beach gear all provided. We had the best time kayaking & visiting as many beach spots that we could. We wanted to stay longer & do more! Great little hidden gem. I would definitely recommend your cottage & plan to come back.

When you first walk in the condo you are invited by a nice fresh smelling and clean place. They thought of everything!! There were bikes to cruise around on, a beautifully landscaped back porch area with a firepit, there was also a grill that came in handy as well as a rinse off station with hot/cold water. If you needed anything the owners were very quick to respond. The beds were very comfortable and the A/C kept the place nice and cool no matter what the weather was outside.

Cute little house perfect for our beach vacation. The owner was very thoughtful with the amenities, and we needed very little that wasn't provided. The air conditioning was perfectly cool and the house was very clean. The area felt safe and walkable. Would definitely recommend it.
