Great location to the beach

All that was described in the listing plus extra things you might need if you forgot. Neighbor house had two tables and all the chairs in the back yard I just wondered if some were for this house. A full length mirror would also be suggestion. Just wish those things would have been there. But we had nothing bad to say. Enjoyed our stay.

Location is perfect

Loved the location of the property. Very short walk to the beach and close to shopping. Was disappointed with the cleanliness. All upholstered furniture and the rug in the living area are in desperate need of cleaning and/or replacement. Bathrooms also appeared just superficially cleaned. The king bed was not comfortable for me. The layout of the back room is somewhat odd with the 2 beds and laundry area not separated from one another. The kitchen was well equipped and bathroom and kitchen supplies were adequate. Liked that pantry basics like sugar, spices were provided. The curb appeal of the property is not the greatest and the backyard is rather barren. I seating area by the grill would be nice. But, if you are there to spend your days at the beach that does not really matter, I guess. The screened in lanai in the front was nice.

Quaint Cottage with Ideal Location to Beach Access

Cottage and location were perfect for our needs. Quiet street with a very short walk to public beach access. Check in/out, amenities and cottage description were spot on. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

House was ok and generally clean, But!

But in the master bath, their is mold around the tub where it meets the wall. I'm pretty sure the mold is under the the sealant. The sealant should be removed and reapplied. It looks unsightly.

Close to the beach, and pets are welcome.

We were able to check in just before 3 p.m., which was much appreciated after a 6 hour drive. Everything was neat and well-stocked, and the ice maker was full. The barbecue had adequate propane, but didn’t get hot enough to sear our steaks. We had a hard time figuring out the remote control for the heating/air conditioning units, probably because our old eyes can’t easily read fine print, but our daughter fixed it for us. We loved the short, one block, walk to the beach. The only thing we wish we’d known was that there were lots of sand burrs in the backyard, where we had to walk the dog. All things considered, we enjoyed our stay. Thank you for the excellent communication.

Perfect getaway

My husband and our 2 dogs thoroughly enjoyed the cottage! Short 3 min walk to the beach to sip our morning coffee and a great quiet neighborhood to go for evening walks. Right in the middle of 98, so many attractions/food are 10-15 min away. Cottage was super cute and quite cozy. All the amenities you’ll need. Even really nice beach chairs to take down in case you forget yours! We will definitely be back SOON to Ginny’s cottage!

Great location and quaint Florida cottage

We love older homes so we love the charm of this Miami style bungalow. This is the way homes use to be built- it’s a shame so few have survived hurricanes and condo development over the decades. I loved the cozy feel of the place. It’s super close to some of the best beaches in Florida and down the street from crab island. This may be our new favorite getaway!

There was dust in the shower that’s for the cleanliness and the mattresses need to be firmer. I’m on dialysis so the place needs to be extra clean for me
