This is the best little vacation spot!! The host is always super helpful. The house is BEAUTIFUL. Between everything offered at the home and the great location, you’re bound to have a great trip! The perfect place especially if you’re trying to avoid the “commercialized scene” and wanting a place to just relax! Could not recommend this place enough!!

Adorable little cottage and great location. Everything was as described when we arrived. The only downside was that we couldn't use the outdoor area as much as we liked because the no-see-ums were vicious. Would absolutely stay again but will be prepared with bug deterrent!

This cottage home is outstanding and a fun place to vacation. We really enjoyed the backyard with the grilling and just sitting outside enjoy seeing all the boats that pass bye and seeing a few manatees and fish from the dock. The inside was just beautiful and comfortable.
