We enjoyed our stay at Redfish Cottage. Our host was easy to communicate with. The house was so cute and just felt like home and was very clean. I loved the fact there were cleaning supplies under both the bathroom and kitchen sink. I like to tidy up during a stay anywhere. Everything we needed to cook at the house was right there on hand. The neighbors were nice and waved any time we saw them. We hope to stay at Redfish Cottage again in the future.

Relaxation

This was a beautiful cottage with everyting that you may need while on vacation. Enjoy gorgeous views of the bay from inside and outside on either of the two porches and dock. It was so quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed just sitting and relaxing on the porches and dock, fishing and kayaking. The only downside was having to leave.

Month reset

This was our 3rd year at the cottage. Our month long stay was not enough. Mornings on the golf course and afternoons fishing on the dock. Beautiful scenery in the bay. Birds and animals to watch. Yes the white squirrel was there and even saw the bear. Perfect!

Spring Break Alternative

This place fits our style very well which is slow-paced and outdoor-based. We fished, hiked, bird-watched, walked the public beach and just relaxed. If you are interested in the typical Spring Break scene, then this is not your place.

Absolutely Perfect

Perfect in every way. This is the cutest cottage. We had everything we needed and then some! Exactly as listed! Beds were comfortable, plenty of space, kitchen had everything, and Joe is the nicest host I've ever had at a rental. We caught fish, loved the dock and enjoyed the screened back porch every evening. We WILL be back very soon.

The cottage was OK, with the following exceptions. The lockbox access was not written up clearly, he just sent the code and we had to figure out the process. We had a hard time locking the door from the outside as there were no directions for that. The on-demand water heater didn't heat enough water at any given time, only enough for washing a few dishes. It never got to the bathroom on the other side of the house. The floor was not as clean as it should have been. Residue was left on our feet. There are 3 resin chairs on the deck that are unusable due to baking in the sun. The sunroom is cluttered with "stuff" and needs some repair. There are too many bed linens and towels stuffed in the closets. There is a broken board on the pier. Tiny flying bugs get into the bathroom during the night, and the door to the outside in the bathroom is unusable. Even at that, we did enjoy our stay.

Restful, Comfortable, Peaceful, and Beautiful

Redfish Cottage is the ideal getaway any time of the year, but especially over the holidays. The cottage is comfortable and quiet. The pier is the perfect site for birdwatching, coffee drinking, paddleboarding, canoeing. We love the convenient location and look forward to our next trip.

Wonderful place!

If you like the outdoors, and being secluded this is the place! Very nice house and a very fun place to stay. If you like to fish I myself caught 4 slot reds, a massive probably 45” red, and quite a few trout and a triple tail off the dock! Me and my wife enjoyed the place and Joe is a grate host if you have any kind of problem at all he’s on it immediately! I will be back shortly!!
