Loved being 30 seconds from the white sands. Kitchen was well stocked for functional dining. Having beach chairs, umbrellas and towels was very nice. The house was advertised as having a kayak/canoe and there was not one. That was a disappointing find. A simple updating of the home's offerings to remove that information would improve reviews. ##### Karla S. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brandie M.

Mar 17, 2025 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Trisha B The location and access to beach is great, however, the house didn’t meet our expectations and needs some TLC. The patio was covered in sand, patio umbrella broken, dirty floors, lamp in bedroom broken, paint peeling off door in bathroom, and recliner is worn out. The beds were comfortable, 2 beach chairs available along with beach towels and appliances fully functional. Bathroom off of kitchen wasn’t an issue but would recommend replacing bi-fold door with solid door to give better privacy. ##### Trisha B.

We were pleased with the charm of the older cottage (built 1945) that has been equipped with most anything required for a quiet secluded stay. Everything worked as it should. Amenities like beach chairs, towels and even outdoor barbecue were all in working order, even though in a used condition. We had no reason to call on the host aside from originally struggling with the key-lock box that we eventually overcame in the dark of night. Although there is no view of the beach or gulf from the cottage, it’s a short 50 steps to the beautiful beach. There is ample parking for a normal sized vehicle on the south of the cottage as well as parking for a small car in front of the door. Although the weather did not cooperate, we would come back and stat again. ##### Hans G. Stayed 6 nights in Jan 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Carol M. Jan 16, 2025 Liked: Check-in Disliked: Listing accuracy #### What A Disappointment When we walked in the door, I literally thought we were in the wrong property. I wasn't prepared for the shabby, rundown appearance of the cottage. Whoever gave this place a 9 or 10 must be friends or relatives of the owner.Close to the beach - yes. However, you can't have the windows open and hear the water. All you can hear is the traffic zooming by the front door. And, most of the windows won't open.The 2nd bathroom is off the kitchen - disgusting! Not only is the toilet steps away from the refrigerator, it is falling apart. The whole place could use an in-depth cleaning and paint job.There were three sad, rusty sand chairs and a basket of threadworn beach towels. The outdoor area is surrounded by taller buildings and there is no privacy.The whole experience there was a disappointment. ##### Carol M.

Aug 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Cool spot! Had a pretty good time here!! Walk to beach out back door, no ocean view from house because there is another house rite behind it. Comfy beds, nice well equipped kitchen! The bad- driveway is ridiculous and needs fixed, AC was horrible. The house is not properly cooled because the return air goes into an open attic in the living room ceiling. Barley got below 78 the whole week, ##### Ellissa B.
