Everything was great, clean, newly remodeled, had everything we needed for our stay. It was especially helpful to have quality pots and pans and other appliances such as a blender and microwave. Laundry is free and on site, huge bonus. Beach is just a few minutes away, we walked but you can bike or park in the designated parking lot with the pass provided. Will come again!

This would’ve been an absolutely perfect visit, but there were 3 issues that were quite significant: check-in, unit temperature, and TV Wi-Fi. But first, the good stuff! Location, location, location! We were a short bike ride away from the nature preserve, animal rehab facility, shell museum and aquarium, and popular beaches. There was also an amazing beach access at the end of the street. The unit was pristine and efficiently thought out to maximize space. We also greatly appreciated the rental credit which essentially paid for our rental bikes. The not so great…When we arrived after driving all day, we could not access the unit. We were grateful that, even though it was after hours, the property manager picked up very quickly, and after 10 minutes of troubleshooting, finally helped us access the key box. When we got into the unit, the room was unbearably hot. The thermostat read 72 and the instructions said we could not go down any further due to limitations on the system. We finally had to call the property manager the next day and it turned out they were reading 74 so they adjusted it which we greatly appreciated. Finally, we were eager to take advantage of the full array of stations on the TV but the Wi-Fi was so spotty, shows would freeze every few minutes. We finally gave up and logged into our own Netflix account. We would love to come back to this property again!
Beach at the end of the street!

Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review! We are thrilled you enjoyed the "pristine" space and took full advantage of the location—being so close to the Shell Museum and the nature preserve really is the best way to experience the area. It’s also great to hear the rental credit made your bike adventures even easier! However, I want to sincerely apologize for the hurdles you faced. While we aim for a seamless experience, it’s clear we missed the mark in a few areas. Addressing Your Concerns: • Check-in: We are glad our manager assisted you quickly after hours, but we know how frustrating a delay is after a long drive. We are inspecting the key box now to ensure it’s functioning smoothly. • Climate Control: We appreciate your patience while we calibrated the thermostat. We want our guests to be comfortable, and we’re glad we could get that adjusted for you. • Wi-Fi & Streaming: There is nothing more annoying than a show freezing! We are looking into a Wi-Fi booster for the unit to ensure the signal can handle the TV’s streaming demands without interruption. We truly value your feedback as it helps us improve. Since you mentioned you’d love to come back, please reach out to us directly when you’re ready to book—we’d love the chance to host you again and deliver a flawless 5-star experience!

Short but sweet

Completely new inside, clean and just the right size for the 2 of us. Location is walkable to the beach (as long as your not carrying too many things). Or you can drive a couple minutes to Bowman's. Overall good accomodations.

Here's a response to your guest's review: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're truly sorry to hear that you experienced issues with parking during your stay and that you felt there wasn't an onsite manager available to assist. We want to clarify that our team is available 24/7 to address any guest concerns. As soon as we were made aware of the parking situation, we immediately reached out to every guest to help resolve the issue. It's been an incredibly challenging two years for us as we've worked tirelessly to rebuild and recover from Hurricane Ian. We're still navigating many hurdles, and while we strive for perfection, occasional issues can arise as we continue to rebuild and improve our services. We truly appreciate a little grace and understanding as we work through these challenges. We hope you'll consider staying with us again in the future so we can provide you with a much-improved experience.

Perfect Getaway

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our 4 night stay here! The property and neighborhood was perfect! Everything you need is provided, from kitchen to beach accessories! It was clean, and comfortable. Loved having the parking pass for the private beach area. I preferred something quiet away from the crowds, and this was perfect! I found so many beautiful shells! Can’t wait for our next trip! Would definitely book this place again!

So sorry we couldn't get all five stars for you. We do have a linen service, so that shouldn't have had any issues. The "Inn" is an olde Florida style small inn that tries to keep the character of how things used to be while making the stay very comfortable for guests. We'll look forward to welcoming you back again any time.

Great location to just hang at the beach

This quaint little bungalow was the perfect location. It wasn't in the chaotic area where everyone is, but a little north. Quiet location - easy walk to the beach and the parking pass was terrific. All of the things you will need for beach time.. Only comment is that it would be nice to have coffee filters, but the paper towel worked great. Property managers great to work with and very helpful. Thank you so much.

The cottage was very comfortable. It was clean and everything worked as expected. It's located a little far from the beach (about a 10 minute walk), but we rented bikes, so that made getting to the beach really easy. The laundry facility worked great and there was a hose outside to rinse off the sand. I highly recommend it.

Good Location

I wanted to get as close as I could to Bowman’s Beach and Blind Pass to go shell collecting. For the price this was a gem. I was able to do my daily walks at 5am collecting shells and be back for breakfast/brunch with my husband. Couldn’t walk on the beach to Blind Pass, have to walk on bike trail. So if you’re interested in shell collecting this spot was very good. You get a beach pass to park at the Trade Winds parking lot which was empty most of the time. This was convenient if you wanted to bring toys, packed cooler, etc. Bikes were provided along with beach umbrellas, cooler, beach chairs, etc. Bikes were shared among other tenants so be aware they maybe taken. Bed was comfortable, didn’t use the stove or dishes but they did look like a good selection. We used the mini fridge and a 7 pound bag of ice fits in the freezer part easily. Overall this is a nice quiet place to relax.

We stayed in 4E. It was roomy enough for 2 people. There was room in the bathroom to store my necessities. Closet and dresser space was good. We didn't cook, but made coffee (bring your own filters). There was a laundry room, but bring your own detergent. The beach gear (chairs, umbrella, towels, shelling equipment) came in handy, as well as the bikes. Also, it was very quiet, which I loved.
