Beach stay with grandma and grampa

The cottage was the perfect spot to be. Beaches are close, lots of choices for good eating, a day trip to Disney, and a home away from home feel at the cottage. It provided for all our needs and more and Suzanne was an amazing host. We would definitely use this cottage again!

Idyllic, relaxing, quiet space to rest and rejuvenate

My family and I have rented several vacation homes, but we’ve never had the experience we had in this beautiful cottage. Not one detail was forgotten, and there were so many small surprises and pleasant details that I can’t imagine we’ll be staying anywhere else when we visit Long Beach. Our hostess went well above and beyond anything we’ve ever experienced. The property was quiet, clean, relaxing, and left nothing to be desired. The area was safe and inviting, the beach was a very short, pleasant walk away, and the local shops and restaurants were amazing.

Wonderful Stay!

We had a wonderful time at this sweet beach cottage! It's a great location, central to many restaurants, shops, and the beach! I am obsessed with their vinyl collection and enjoyed listening to various albums each morning. The kitchen is well appointed for those who love to cook. Parking can be a bit tricky on certain days, but the little lot 2 houses down is the perfect solution. Our hosts went out of their way to make sure that we were comfortable during our stay!

Fantastic beach bungalow

Great! Just like all the ratings and reviews. 1 block to 2nd street for food, drinks and shopping. A few blocks from beach. Great kayaking in the Naples canals! Very nice outdoor seating areas to unwind with a glass of wine. This house met all our needs and then some. Very likely to return next year!!

Beautiful, relaxing escape that felt like home

This property is even prettier than the pictures. You can feel the love the owners have put into it. And they have thought of everything you need, in abundance. Suzanne was very responsive and went above and beyond any request. You won’t regret booking this home! And the neighborhood is just the sweetest. Walking distance to coffee, food, cute shops, and the beach! (Which is a dog beach, a major perk for my daughter.)
