Highly recommend..

I had an amazing stay at this place! Everything was exactly as described—clean, stylish, and super comfortable. The host was incredibly welcoming and responsive, making check-in smooth and stress-free. The location was perfect—close to everything but still peaceful and quiet. Every detail was thoughtfully taken care of, from fresh towels to a well-stocked kitchen. It honestly felt like a home away from home. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

We were in and out a lot. Due to planning burial and celebration of my husband.

It was a cozy cottage that met our needs. Decorated nicely. Everyone loved the comforters.

Girls trip

This little cottage was perfect for our girls trip stay! It was cute and clean. It was close enough to the beach and restaurants for us to walk. The kitchen had all supplies needed in it which was so convenient so we didn’t need to pack or buy things for 2 days. We would definitely stay again!

Great rental

Everything we needed was there. The location worked great for us. The size was good for 4 adults and 1 child. Host was very responsive to my messages. We actually left something behind and host let me know so we could make arrangements to get it. Will most definitely be booking there again

Cute weekend getaway

My fiancé and I take a trip yearly with my mom and thought we would check our sylvan beach. Very cute town and this little beach house was perfect for us. Very clean, host was very quick to respond when we had questions and the location was perfect walking distance from the beach and restaurants. Would definitely rent from Leslie again! We only had a little trouble with the living room TV,- picture didn't come in great and kept breaking up, usually we wouldn’t have even turned it on but we had a rainy weekend. Thanks for everything Leslie!
