Cute house in an older established beautiful neighborhood. Perfect distance from the downtown area, not far but not right on top of downtown either. Small, cozy, house with a fenced yard for our dog which was great. We were on the go a lot , so house size was adequate for 2 adults. Everything was great except the management fees from the rental company I thought were outrageous
The home was clean. Loved the screened in back porch and the swing on the front porch. Our little dogs loved the back yard. Easy drive to everything we wanted to see and do.
This was a cute old Florida home on a street with many similar old-Florida homes. The fenced backyard was great for our dog. The home was furnished simply and comfortably -- nothing fancy and also just right. My husband walked to the historic section and I drove to nearby parks to photograph birds. We would stay here again.
We stayed with our dog so it was nice to have fenced in backyard and screened in porch with seating to be out with her. The little time we spent at the rental, we were limited on space. It would have been nice to have better options to store our suitcase on like a bench in the closet instead the kitchen chairs moved into the bedroom. The outdoor wicker living room chair is not comfortable and the foot pouf is not supportive - it falls flat when slight pressure is put on it. Maybe a coffee table or sturdier ottoman would be better or even a sectional with a larger ottoman instead of the small loveseat and outdoor wicker chair with pouf. I really don’t know how seating would even work if you were at capacity for the rental especially during the cooler winter months.

Achy bodies
After 2 nights, both of us had sore achy bodies. It had to be the beds. Still had 2 nights to go. On the last evening, the temps dropped, the heater was running all night with the temp set on 68, when my feet hit the floor the next morning, the floors were cold.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
Very cozy nice house. Now it is alittle on the smaller side but it worked perfectly for a couple and a dog. The porch was perfect to have a morning coffee and watch the dog play in the big fenced in yard. Communication was great and they had some amazing recommendations.
Quite, walkable neighborhood, could easily walk to the city, fort and downtown. (30ish minute walk)
The house was small but snug. Back deck and fenced in was a big plus with small children.
Home was clean as well. Would stay again if we came back to the area.
Clean, neat house, nice neighborhood. Bit of a walk to historic district, but we got our steps in! Close enough to walk to almost everything. We enjoyed our stay!
This was a nice place. Located in a quiet neighborhood, however, houses are very close together. Very close to attractiions. If you are traveling with your dog fur babies, great fenced in back yard. My only complaint, when we first walked in there were 2 dead roaches on kitchen floor. I did not see any alive though so that was good!
We stayed from the 2nd week in January to February 29th. The home was “home” and everything was clean but more attention is needed on the baseboards and kitchen cabinets. Other than these items, we absolutely loved it. The yard and porches were perfect and the location was amazing. We could not have enjoyed our stay more.
Really enjoyed our stay at the lovely Seahorse Cottage.
Quiet, peaceful neighborhood: walkable, but also appreciated from the porch swing seat.
Well equipped, with a surprisingly large screened-in porch and backyard.
Delightful!
Was looking for a place not far from the fun and dog friendly. The bedding and all were very clean, the baseboards not as much but overall very clean and comfortable.
We had a great time and the dogs had room to relax as well. Would definitely stay there again.
