Thank you so much for the wonderful 5-star review! It was a pleasure hosting you, and we’re glad you enjoyed your stay at the Emerald Heart Cottage. We truly appreciate you choosing our home and would be happy to welcome you back anytime!
We had a very nice stay. The host was amazing and answered all our questions in a timely manner. The pool had a lot of leaves in it, but that was to be expected because of all the trees surrounding it. There is a camera in the main living room that we covered. I know that the host disclosed that the camera is there just for security purposes, but I think it just made us feel better to cover it!

Thank you for your kind review and for choosing Emerald Heart Cottage! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay and that communication met your expectations.
As you mentioned, with our beautiful mature oak trees and Florida weather, leaves can occasionally find their way into the pool between cleanings, but the pool is professionally serviced and maintained regularly to ensure it’s always safe and ready to enjoy.
Regarding the interior security camera, we completely understand that guests have different comfort levels. As disclosed in our listing and rental agreement, the camera is not monitored during guest stays and is only intended for security purposes when the home is vacant or in the event of an emergency. We are also perfectly fine with guests temporarily covering the camera during their stay, provided no damage is done to the device.
We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back to Emerald Heart Cottage again in the future!

Great neighborhood, plenty of room for our family. Close to shopping, short drive to the beach. Could use some sod in the back yard. The only thing that would make it better is if it were rite on the beach.

Thank you so much for the kind review, Ron. We’re so glad to hear your family enjoyed the space, the neighborhood, and the convenient location. We agree—being just a short drive from the beach is great, but being right on the beach would be the dream. We also appreciate your note about the backyard, and we’re taking that feedback to heart. Thanks again for staying with us, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime.
Great location and easy and quick trip to everything (beach, food, fun).. Clean and very accommodating house. Kitchen is well stocked with nice cookware and utensils; everything you would need!

Shellae and her family were a pleasure to host. She was considerate and great to communicate with. We would gladly host she and her wonderful family again!
The house was very clean and perfect size for our family. We enjoyed it. Its right across the street from the police department so it felt extra safe and a quick 10 min drive to the beach.
