10 / 10Outstanding·May 2026
The property was exactly how it was described on the pictures. I loved the privacy from the back of the cottage. The house was clean and had all the necessary items for cooking. It was quiet and exactly what we were looking for. Very close to downtown and restaurants. The one downfall was the 20 stairs leading up to the cottage. I ended up injuring my knee at the beach on the last day of our trip and struggled getting up the stairs. But I had the honor to meet the owner of the property. She was so very nice. She helped me with some of my things when we left. It was a pleasure meeting her. I definitely recommend staying here.
8 / 10Excellent·Apr 2026
Fantastic location and lovely property even with the 20 stairs to the main gate entry! It felt very tranquil with 2 other charming cottages on the gated property.A few improvements would be … real dishes instead of plastic dishes and cups. Also, a mirror in each bedroom would help easy the bathroom congestion.
10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2025
The VRBO description truly doesn’t do this place justice. To our pleasant surprise, the property felt wonderfully private and secluded from any nearby neighbors. It was spotless, cozy, and immediately welcoming. The view from the bedroom window was stunning, framed perfectly by the vibrant foliage beyond. Check-in and check-out were the smoothest we’ve ever experienced, and the host was exceptionally accommodating. The location was ideal—just a short walk to downtown and the farmers market. We’ll definitely be returning, assuming we’re not priced out after all the well-deserved glowing reviews. Well done!
