Jan 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fishing vacation My husband and I stayed at this cozy little cottage during our annual January Florida fishing vacation. Usually I do all the VRBO house finding and planning but this year my husband found this little cottage and said I needed to book it. I was a little anxious before we arrived because it was just a “small little cottage” but when we arrived it was a perfect “cozy little cottage” for just the two of us. It was super clean and even though it didn’t have an oven or stove it had everything we needed anytime we wanted to cook. We ate some of our fresh caught fish and even grilled some steaks one night. For the days we didn’t want to cook there are plenty of restaurants in the area. On days we didn’t fish we went to surrounding towns/citys and enjoyed sightseeing and riding amusement park rides. We will definitely try to book this place again when we return for future fishing getaways. ##### Nikki S. Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephanie W. Jun 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely little place Cute quiet peaceful little place. Local to all of our favorite places in Crystal River. It's a tiny home with nice sized living area. Bathroom, kitchen, bedroom were perfect and had everything we needed. It doesn't have a stove but had a grill if we wanted to cook there. The bed was extremely firm so if that's not your thing the couch is comfy. Very well equipped. Like I had forgotten a pony tail holder and there were a few little tiny rubber bands in the bathroom, which was super helpful. Very tastefully decorated. Washer and dryer was a nice surprise, I didn't remember seeing that in the description but it helped out. I'm telling you if you e never stayed in a tiny house this one will have you thinking building your own. We loved it. The outside area is beautiful with a hammock and a fire pit. Lizards galore but only outside. ❤️ Super clean and if you happen to forget something it was there, like insect repellent (thank goodness they had some). Overall we would stay there again. It's pretty much perfect except for such a firm bed. There really is no other way to describe it other than lovely ##### Stephanie W. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dave W.
