We had beautiful weather, some of the beaches were closed but the ocean pools were amazing. The location was good, a little too far from the beach but was what was listed in description. The bond was higher than normal but we did not have an issue and got it released the same day. We would stay again and recommend Austin Cottage. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/8d4ce385-2a13-488c-81b1-576c55184680-1745739715616.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/c12790a6-f4b0-44b5-82de-19cbb6af222b-1745739717058.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Fiona M.
