Everything was wonderful. This sweet, comfy cottage is in an amazing location with a lot of “Old Florida” charm. We were able to walk without traffic, surrounded by water and wildlife. The area is beautiful on the water as well. The kayaks provided were a nice bonus. You could not ask for a better host. Very attentive, answered all of my messages and even stopped by but was not intrusive. She replaced the toaster and brought us kitchen towels when I suggested it! We really enjoyed the covered porch, sitting outside with a light rain was really lovely. Do not miss the Bayport Inn, it is walking distance away. They have excellent food and for two for one margaritas. You can see Charlie, the Great Egret. Mary’s Fish Camp is an area institution and well worth the visit. They have a great little store and fish right from their dock. We highly recommend “The Pearl” and hope to visit again, it was an absolute pleasure!

Super cute little cottage in a very quiet neighborhood. Very quaint but clean and comfortable and had everything you need. There is another rental sharing the same property but we hardly noticed except running into them when we were coming and going. Neighbors all waved and were friendly.
