Jun 18, 2025 #### Delightful Modern Beach House Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a delightful beach themed and lovingly prepared holiday home. My dogs and I were lucky enough to have stayed 6 weeks there. Sun drenched HUGE balcony, three great size bedrooms and modern kitchen. The owners have gone to great effort to think of absolutely anything you could want in the home making it seem very much like your home away from home. Loved our stay and just adored the owners I was lucky enough to meet. Delightful!!! HIGHLY recommended!!! ##### Michelle Y.

May 7, 2025 #### North facing deck for outdoor relaxation Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The property was perfectly located in a quiet street close to beaches, coffee shop and super market. Its a comfortable cottage with a large north facing outdoor area. Pet friendly. Comfortable beds, equipped kitchens and clean bathroom. The only thing i could suggest is a gate above the internal and external stairwells. Property agent was very responsive and helpful ##### Patricia C. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Beaches Turks & Caicos - ALL INCLUSIVE](https://www.expedia.ca/Providenciales-Hotels-Beaches-Turks-Caicos-ALL-INCLUSIVE.h197859.Hotel-Information) > > [Home2 Suites by Hilton Pompano Beach Pier](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Home2-Suites-By-Hilton-Pompano-Beach-Pier.h60884498.Hotel-Information) > > [Breathless Montego Bay - Adults Only - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Montego-Bay-Hotels-Breathless-Montego-Bay-Adults-Only.h15714011.Hotel-Information) > > [Shearwater Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Shearwater-Hotels-Shearwater-Resort.h11114220.Hotel-Information) > > [All Inclusive Resorts and Hotels in La Fortuna](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d6047145-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Pan Pacific London](https://www.expedia.ca/London-Hotels-Pan-Pacific-London.h67541187.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Resort Blue Mountains MGallery Collection](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Fairmont-Resort-Spa-Blue-Mountains.h522363.Hotel-Information) > > [The Copa Cabana at Copacabana](https://www.expedia.ca/Copacabana-Hotels-The-Copa-Cabana-At-Copacabana.h33554165.Hotel-Information) > > [The Sebel Whitsundays Airlie Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Airlie-Beach-Hotels-At-Blue-Horizon-Resort-Apartments.h2650727.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in San Juan](https://www.expedia.ca/Luis-Munoz-Marin-Intl-Airport-Hotels.0-aSJU-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [WyndhamHotels Hotels in Winnipeg](https://www.expedia.ca/Winnipeg-Hotels-Wyndham-Hotels.0-0-d6141041--bWyndhamHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Downtown Pittsburgh](https://www.expedia.ca/Downtown-Pittsburgh-Pittsburgh-Hotels.0-n6057662-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Bonnie Doon Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Bonnie-Doon-Hotels-Bonnie-Doon-Hotel.h20516057.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Sidney (YYJ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yyj/toronto-to-victoria) > > [Flights from Sudbury (YSB) to Cavan-Monaghan (YPQ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ysb/ypq/sudbury-to-peterborough) > > [WestJet Ottawa (YOW) to Toronto (YYZ) flights](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flight-routes/westjet-from-macdonald-cartier-intl-to-pearson-intl/ws/yow/yyz) > > [Flights from Kitchener (YKF) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ykf/yyc/kitchener-to-calgary) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/yvr/calgary-to-vancouver) > > [Flights from Vancouver (YVR) to Bogotá (BOG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yvr/bog/vancouver-to-bogota) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Tampa](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Tampa.d602996.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Activities ### Packages > [all inclusive vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations) > > [Punta Cana](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/theme-vacations/all-inclusive-vacations/601906/Punta-Cana) > > [Granada Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Granada.d1384.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [Las Vegas Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Las-Vegas.d178276.Destination-Travel-Guides)
