The house was super cute and the view from both porches was just spectacular! great place for couple's or single friends like us. Would definitely book again.
Overall really enjoyed the property, found it well stocked and as advertised. I did feel that a claim of sleeping 8 was a bit of a stretch, and would have been nice to access the garage (locked up), but nice location and a well cared-for place!
This is a beautifully decorated cottage! The pool area was very nice -not too crowded, pool was refreshing. The only negative comment I would make is that access to the beach is not outside your door, although the walk is extremely doable. But the beach is VERY small and the sand is wet. If you are looking for a white, sandy beach this is not the place.

Good, but could have been better
The house was really nice and comfortable. When we got there, the kitchen garbage was half full. Also, everyday every couple hours, there was a loud banging noise that was loud enough to scare everyone. We could never figure out what it was. I emailed awhile back about it and never heard back from anyone. I wanted to let you know about the noise, so you can figure out what is causing it before your next guests rent the place. Thanks.

Beautiful Place But Good for One Visit
Pros: The cottage itself was beautiful! The views are great. Loved the decor. Very accommodating for four adults. Kitchen had all the necessities but we weren't staying long enough to cook meals there. Pool was nice. Felt safe in the area.
Cons: Upstairs bedroom didn't have a closet which isn't a big deal but would have been nice.
The rock barrier from the pictures to what was there when we arrived is very different. And the path next to the cottage was overgrown and unkept & there was no staircase to use by our end, we had to walk to the pool/clubhouse to use those stairs to walk the beach.
Didn't need to reach out for any assistance but received several redundant emails regarding policies and rules to follow (which we have no issue doing in the first place.) Also there was conflicting information given in regards on where to leave the fobs for the pool/clubhouse, two emails said to leave on the kitchen island, then one said in a binder so they don't get lost during cleaning. Reduce the amount of emails & make sure the information is the same across the board.

Reviewer Comments:
This is a beautiful home in a fantastic location. We were extremely comfortable and loved the privacy of this corner lot.
for 700 total per night, we expected far more than we received ... pros: views, porches, w/d near ‘master’, comfortable beds ... cons: sewer odor emitting from downstairs shower drain, some outdated furnishings, lack of attention to small details (i.e. no salt/pepper) ... we won't return to this unit
We were there to celebrate my mothers 93rd bday and this cottage was absolutely perfect. It was wonderfully stocked with everything that you could possibly need, the furnishings were beautiful and the view was the amazing! We are already planning our next visit...Thank you so much .
Very nice property , tasteful decor, nice location perfect for two couples.
Only issues kitchen not supplied well, no cocktail glasses and pretty limited cooking utensils. Also there’s some type of insect droppings under stove in drawer. Personally I believe a dishwasher pod for each day would of been nice. Lastly might clarify the coffeemaker is a keurig.
Thought we were staying on the beach with beach access. The beach is covered with big black rocks so you have to drive to a beach. First disappointment. Second disappointment was we rented this unit because of being next to beach access which there was none unless you call getting to the sand as the beach but no water access. We also rented because upstairs had three pullout beds for our grandchildren only had fitted twin sheets no flat sheets and no sheets for queen pullout. Called and had maid services to bring flat sheets and pillows. They brought 6 more twin fitted sheets and one pillow that had pee stains all over it. She FaceTimed mgmt while she was in our room saying she did not see where we needed anything. So all the nights there no sheets for sofa, no pillows and no blankets had to sleep with twin fitted sheets as a cover which was not comfortable at all. And had to use decorative throw pillows as regular pillows which smelled used. If you are planning on cooking while there bring items because they are very limited on what they have to use. We payed a lot of money to stay here and we will definitely not stay in this unit again. It was decorated beautifully but the rest of the dissatisfaction out weighed that. Oh and definitely bring paper products one bathroom had no toilet paper and the others had half rolls there were no fresh rolls in the unit. The only full roll of something was a paper towel roll in kitchen.
