The house is charming, well laid out and comfortable. Also very clean. Back yard is a fjj funland for kids of all ages. Neighborhood is quiet, close to ocean and good restaurants. Hosts were very welcoming and responsive to questions. Many natural areas to hike, bike, or kayak within 30 minutes. Grocery store is close as is a YMCA. One of our best ever experiences and we plan to return next year.

If we could give this cottage higher than 5 Stars, we would. It is the most unique place we have ever stayed at. It is finished in Cape Cod fashion with great attention to detail. The backyard has a gazebo, horseshoes, ping pong table, lots of seating and an incredible pirate ship with slide, swings and play area inside the ship and on the deck. Great for kids ready for a pirate adventure! Inside the spacious cottage, you will find it well stocked and equipped with all the conveniences of home. It’s extremely clean with comfortable beds, sofas and chairs. Our host even provided a gift basket from local shops! We highly recommend Pennies From Heaven and will return for another stay.

Thank you Dennis and Barbara for sharing this house with us. It's the most homey, fun, comfy house we have ever rented on vacation. This house is intentionally designed to encourage family fun. As my son said, "It's the best hide and seek house ever!"We ended up staying "home" more than anticipated and yet were not bored for a second (and we never turned the TV on)!The listing photos don't do it justice. It's very well built and decorated with antiques. The AC was great, the water pressure and temps perfect as well. You could probably walk in with a few changes of clothes and a bathing suit and they have anticipated every little need you could have forgotten. The one thing we'd share is that the king bedroom has a vent directly into the kitchen, so it's not a great room for sleeping in or heading to bed early. A sound machine or two could be helpful to bring now that I'm thinking about it! We purchased a fan so we could sit outside as Florida, quite naturally, has mosquitos. The fan kept them at bay when the tiki bug candles didn't cut it (provided).

Perfection

Everyone in our group loved EVERYTHING about "Pennies from Heaven"! Cleanest VRBO I've ever reserved, by far. Lots of fun, too, with all the scavenger hunt clues. The kitchen had everything we could possibly want, the hosts left us delicious snack foods, all their restaurant recommendations (and the fruit stand) were big hits. We truly enjoyed our stay and hope to visit again!

Pennies from heaven was perfect for our stay . Everything was there that we needed, including a scavenger hunt that entertained us all ! Location was close to the beach and town .

Me and my wife returned for a second time to the Cottage. We had such a wonderful experience the first time we couldn't wait to get back. The amazing thing about the second time is it was just as good. The hosts really know how to make you feel at home and go the extra mile on everything. Highly recommended we will be back next year.

Barbara and Dennis have created such a wonderful experience at the Pennies from Heaven cottage. They are thoughtful and meticulous with our comfort and entertainment in mind. All daily supplies are fully stocked and they even welcome you with home-baked pastries (which are delicious)! For these reasons and many more, my family and I have booked this Vrbo for 3 years in a row to celebrate Thanksgiving. We hope for many more and we’ll be lucky if it’s available!

As soon as we walked into the house it was amazing with so much character and it felt like home away from home.
