Thank you for the review, Tina! I appreciate you leaving the Cottage so clean, you and your friends are welcome back anytime, and I'd be happy to put you in touch with a pontoon boat captain to take you out for the day.
This house was perfect for our family vacation! The inside was very clean and minimal (no clutter). The house had all of the necessary amenities and additional touches like the fire pit that made it even more relaxing. The host was very responsive and communicative to any questions. We would love to visit this property again!
This place was like a dream. We did not want to leave. Our host was amazing as well. The location was close to everything. We definitely will be back and stay again.

Thank you so much for the kind words, Amanda! It makes my heart happy knowing you had such a nice time. You are always welcome back in the future! Feel free to contact me for a returning guest discount!
The house is in a place convenient to drive to the beach and other attractions. The house was in good condition. If I had to complain about anything, maybe a little more mopping.There was beach chairs and other beach items in the garage for use also. It has a mermaid theme. Cute decor. Fire pit in back yard. We had a good stay and would recommend.
