Nice, surprisingly roomy cottage directly on a waterway with beautiful morning and evening views. Enjoyed having coffee on the porch and on the water front patio. Easy check-in and check-out instructions, excellent communication from host as needed, clean and well stocked accommodation. Will stay again!

Seamless transaction. Easy check-in. Exceptional communication with property owner/manager. All the amenities to feel right at home. Very, very quiet and safe neighborhood. While this area has been ravaged by 2 hurricanes in recent years, it’s slowly being put back together. Area homes are still in disrepair, but this property is perfect! The sunsets from the waterfront cottage are heavenly! Will stay here again.

Cute but way too many throw pillows. We had to find a place to stack them so we could open our luggage. Kitchen not stocked with enough pans. Host was very generous with amenities ie.. shampoos, conditioners, toiletries. Price was very fair.Toilet had serious problem.

We appreciate your notes regarding the throw pillows, kitchen supplies, and toilet issue, and we’ll be sure to share this feedback with our team to help improve future guests’ experiences. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again!
We were a little put off when driving to the house as it takes you through a questionable neighborhood, but one we arrived the house was clean, well decorated and had plenty of outside seating to enjoy the channel. We were a bit concerned at the extra fees for the cleaning since the discharge instructions stated we needed to wash all dishes, strip the beds, empty the trash and leave the house clean the extra cleaning/host fees were more than the nightly rental fee. We did have to contact the host regarding where to put the trash and she responded quickly.
