We stayed with two small dogs…. So many sticker (sandspurs) in the yard that letting them outside was impossible. First time in the yard, we picked over 60 from their paws and hair. Painful. Owner does not put effort into amenities.Only heat/ac was very loud window units.One night stay was definitely not worth the 333 charge

Barb M.

Disliked: Cleanliness
First of all, I want to clarify that my family slept over for one night of the three nights that i had rented the cottage.Unfortunately, my stay there could have been better. The cottage was pretty dirty. There is a trail of ants in the doorway between the kitchen and livingroom. The ice dispenser was frozen over. The portable ice maker on the counter was very dirty. I had to wash any dishes that I had used because the coffee cup I pick up from the cabinet had some kind of scum. There is a round thing attached to the inside of the screen door that scrapped my son's arm, causing injury. I'll just say that the front porch was also pretty dirty.That is what I can remember at the moment. Usually if I can't think of anything nice to say, I don't say anything. I couldn't let this one go. I splurged on this trip to see my son on his birthday and, for me, that was a lot of money for three nights. Too bad because this place has a lot of potential.

Walkable Neighborhood

I was instantly disappointed in this rental. Outdated to say the least. Yard not cared for (found someone's bikini bottoms in the grass near the back porch). Living room had frat house vibes with heavy leather sofas. Flooring was soft in places. We had to cover up a protruding nail head. Screen on door was broken. Knob missing from screen door nearly ripped my dress. Uncomfortable bed.Thankful we did not spend much time there.Nice, walkable or bikeable neighborhood. Did not appreciate the neighbors dog barking profusely at 6am daily. Sleeping in was not an option. Owner supplies a good amount of beach necessities such as coolers, umbrella, boogie board.

Great Trip!

I was looking for quite some time for a nice place for my gals and I to stay for our beach trip and this certainly was the place! It’s in a great location! Close to everything and the owners are very kind and respond swiftly! Only downfall is the house is a little run down but that didn’t stop us from having an amazing time!

Convenience and cozy

My family and I enjoyed our stay. Enjoyed the convenience of having our dogs with us and close access to everything we wanted to see! Wish the yard was fenced in only because the dogs from the neighbors house roam free and we had two incidents walking our dogs out to use the bathroom and running into unleashed dogs from next door. Could use a bit of updating but the hosts were extremely helpful and responded quickly to any questions I had.

Disgusting. VRBO didn't care.

This home has sagging/rotting, uneven floors and stairs. Not a cute cottage made to look rustic. The tin is falling off. The stove was disgusting. I got a hotel room instead and called VRBO, who connected me to the owner who was (as expected) less than happy with our convo. No refund was issued as promised. Further contact attempts ignored.

Cute Little House!

One of my best friends and I stayed here from Wed-Sat. Perfect house for those wanting to save a little money, yet still stay in a nice place! All the household items (paper towels, toilet paper, garbage bags, laundry detergent, dish soap etc) were provided in enough quantities if you wanted to use them. The couches were comfy, the beds were comfy. Overall, very nice and convenient place. The property owner was super responsive to messages about any questions we had. She even had a Walmart delivery for extra items if we needed them! Highly recommend!

So very clean. Having a washer and dryer was wonderful. However the kitchen floor needed fixed as well as the frig. The frig kept blowing the circuit breaker and it had to be re set about twice a day. Would and will book again. Thank you

Very grateful we could bring our dog, we were there for nephew’s wedding. Last 3 days our grandson didn’t want to go home early so he stayed with us. We were pleasantly surprised when one of the days we barely made it to the driveway because of the Pirate Parade! We All thought that was awesome! For the price it was worth it…we also enjoyed walking through the old cemetery across the street, historical.
