Great cottage, super convenient and spacious
The breakfast nook was charming, the location was perfect, and the dedicated parking in the alley is priceless.
Steps from historic downtown, but right in the middle of the real charm in Uptown, 6-7 minute drive to the beaches and state park.
We will be back, thank you so much!

If location is key....
...then this is the place for you. The unit itself is relatively well equipped and the outside deck and BBQ a bonus. However, there was only minimal cleaning done. Had to rewash all the towels and sheets to get rid of strong musty smell. And to our horror, when we stripped the bed there was a huge yellow stain on the mattress and NO MATTRESS COVER to be found. Also washed the dishes as some that were neatly put away were dirty! Same goes for outdoor cushions and umbrella. Property manager responded promptly to our messages however the promised maintenance people, who were to come and fix lights that were burnt out and the dishwasher handle that was broken (which made opening the machine difficult) never showed up. Its a shame that this unit is not properly maintained as it could be a fantastic getaway spot. We will not be returning.

Beautiful home in peaceful neighborhood
The property was very well-decorated. The surrounding garden engulfed the deck in a way that made it feel like a tropical treehouse. The property was just a short walk away from many different activities and amenities. My wife and I would stay here again.

Labor Day getaway
This property is perfect for a couple and in a perfect location. There were a few things that kept us from rating this property higher, one was the condition in which we found the bathroom (this was the main BIG thing). My husband went to use the restroom and the toilet seat was soiled with feces!! To top it off there were no cleaning products other than dish and laundry detergents. Luckily we always travel with Clorox wipes so my poor husband cleaned the dickens out of it! He also cleaned the front entryway as it was quite messy and plant limbs kept smacking us in the face! Finally the day we were leaving we stripped the bed of the used linens (as we always do) and found that the mattress had a huge pee stain on it! This property could be a real gem however the owner needs to pay a bit more attention. Speaking of the owner I relayed all of this in a private communication and I never even got an acknoledgement, I guess it was not important. :-(

Clean, Cozy, Bright Place near City Town Center
Loved the place, very clean, modern, loved the decor and lots of light. The place has 2 bedrooms with the main living area and master bedroom on the second floor. The second bedroom is on the first floor and has a half bath. We felt safe in the neighborhood however I would bring a flashlight as access to the home is ally access only and gets a tad dark at night. Location is great as the property is only a few blocks asway from the main city gate, took us about 10-15 minutes to get there. Overall we had a nice time, the kitchen had all the necessities including some coffee and sugar. Will book again.

Overall Happy, just a few issues that were resolved.
Overall, we were happy with the cottage. Very clean and well stocked. Location was FANTASTIC! We could literally walk everywhere we wanted to go...saved us money on a rental car! If I had to give any critiques they would be the following:
1). The "KING-SIZE" bed is definitely NOT a king-size bed...it is actually two twin box springs and mattresses pushed together and held in place by king-size sheets. It's difficult to cuddle with your partner with the separation down the middle of the bed. Other than that, the "beds" were comfortable.
2). The wireless connection was down for the first 3 days. When it was fixed, it was such a poor signal we couldn't us it anyway.
3). The outside lights (patio & driveway) did not work. That took 2 days to fix.
If asked if we would stay there again, ABSOLUTELY. We just would have preferred to know up front that it was not a king and that wireless was sketchy at best.

Cute getaway spot for a couple
Nice above-garage private getaway. Well decorated and equipped with everything we needed for a long weekend vacation. Only a couple blocks from downtown, which was great. Easy to grab dinner on the town, walk to see all the historical sites, and we felt safe walking after dark. Parking was very tight (we had a 4 door truck). But great, quite, private spot. Would book again!
