I was worried this property would be cramped, but it was surprisingly spacious for how small it is! It’s well kept, comfortable and has everything you need. The outside amenities were great as well. The location is good, neighborhood seemed safe and it was an easy walk to the cruise terminal. I would stay here again.

It's a cute little cottage. Comfortable. Good location. Well equipped. All good. And when we made an error in our reservation the owner (or manager?) was most gracious in correcting it to our advantage. Very nice. Would rent it again!

Response from VrboOwner on 12 October 2025
Thank you for your feedback. I pour my heart into my tiny home, and I’m genuinely disappointed to receive your 2-star review. The listing clearly states “Cozy Beach Cottage,” which, as shown in the photos, is exactly what it is- a small, thoughtfully designed space. It’s disheartening that you chose to book despite that and then left such a low rating without explaining why. I take a lot of pride in creating a warm and welcoming stay for every guest, and this kind of vague, damaging review feels both unfair and unhelpful.
