The host was very pleasant and easy to get a hold of. The property was perfectly located for our stay. The house had everything we needed for our stay. The only suggestion we would make is that maybe add a tv or two in some of the bedrooms. Thank you again for your hospitality.

The cottage was so clean and comfortable that we relaxed immediately. It is furnished with everything you need, including linens, extra towels, an amazing array of dishes, pots, pans, plastic bags, coffee maker with pods, icemaker, outdoor grill, bicycles (bring your helmet) swings, slides, firepit with wood, picnic tables, huge tv, CD player, heaters and a/c units, etc. We had the windows closed and there was a faint smell of cigarette smoke after we unplugged the aroma device, but most of us did not notice it. The Wifi worked well. This is a uniquely Sylvan Beach cottage with everything you could want, and we highly recommend it.

Cute cottage

Great time. We will be back. The only thing I would say to improve the quality of the place would be A/C units in the other bedrooms and the beds were a bit uncomfortable. Other than that it was great. It was easy to get a hold of Rick and he got right back to us every time.

Excellent host and location!

The host Rick was very welcoming and friendly. Small details were thought of like an ice machine, a water cooler and several different types of coffee makers as well as a basket of travel sized toiletries in case you forgot something. Fresh clean linens. Plenty of room for our family and then some. The location was in walking distance to the beach and our kids loved the back yard and the bikes provided for use. We loved that our little dog was welcome and greeted as well! We would love to make this an annual visit!
