Listing said wheelchair accessible, but there was a step once inside at both doors. Never really talked to host company, had issue got an automated response. The beach was peaceful and beautiful. Drive way was compact, barely fit my car. It was a great getaway for most part.

Great location!

Very adequate accommodations with a perfect location right by the beach. Coffee in the morning in front and dinner on the patio was a great way to start and end the day. Amazing sunsets as well. Would choose to stay here each year for spring break!

sister's trip

This was the cutest little bungalow as close to the beach as we could get. Loved being 30 seconds from the white sands. Kitchen was well stocked for functional dining. Having beach chairs, umbrellas and towels was very nice. The house was advertised as having a kayak/canoe and there was not one. That was a disappointing find. A simple updating of the home's offerings to remove that information would improve reviews.

Nice cottage on the beach

This charming vintage cottage was just right for our family oof 4. Though it was just a one-night stay, the house was comfortable, welcoming, and full of the charm and character of days gone by.The location was fantastic—just steps from the beach and close to several great restaurants. It offered a quiet, peaceful spot to rest and reflect.A true little gem that gave our family exactly what we needed. Would absolutely stay again.

Cute Seaside Cottage

My husband and I stayed here for three nights. Our host was quick to answer any questions we had before arriving. Check in/out was easy. The cottage could use a little updating-paint and light bulbs, but it in no way took away from its charm and location. We would stay here again.

Quaint Little Bungalow

Quaint little bungalow footsteps from the beach! Location was perfect! It’s not fancy, and like others have stated, it could use a “refresh” on some of the furniture / paint, however, it was clean and all functional. If you like a low key location with a very quiet beach, you are laid back, and don’t need fancy furnishings/decor , then this place is perfect! Would absolutely stay here again.

Great place

The house was as described. Perfect location to the beach. We stayed in October and the beach was not crowded. The driveway was hard to get in and out of especially with a larger car. Will stay again!

Old Florida cottage

Our stay was lovely. Perfect sisters/girl vacation. Old school Florida cottage steps from the gorgeous, quiet beach . Super easy check in/ check out process. Older, broken in furniture and decor. If you want fancy, this is not your spot. If you want Comfy, homey and relaxed , this is your place 💜 will definitely be back.

The location and access to beach is great, however, the house didn’t meet our expectations and needs some TLC. The patio was covered in sand, patio umbrella broken, dirty floors, lamp in bedroom broken, paint peeling off door in bathroom, and recliner is worn out. The beds were comfortable, 2 beach chairs available along with beach towels and appliances fully functional. Bathroom off of kitchen wasn’t an issue but would recommend replacing bi-fold door with solid door to give better privacy.

Cozy older cottage, not a modern condo!

We were pleased with the charm of the older cottage (built 1945) that has been equipped with most anything required for a quiet secluded stay. Everything worked as it should. Amenities like beach chairs, towels and even outdoor barbecue were all in working order, even though in a used condition. We had no reason to call on the host aside from originally struggling with the key-lock box that we eventually overcame in the dark of night. Although there is no view of the beach or gulf from the cottage, it’s a short 50 steps to the beautiful beach. There is ample parking for a normal sized vehicle on the south of the cottage as well as parking for a small car in front of the door. Although the weather did not cooperate, we would come back and stat again.

What A Disappointment

When we walked in the door, I literally thought we were in the wrong property. I wasn't prepared for the shabby, rundown appearance of the cottage. Whoever gave this place a 9 or 10 must be friends or relatives of the owner.Close to the beach - yes. However, you can't have the windows open and hear the water. All you can hear is the traffic zooming by the front door. And, most of the windows won't open.The 2nd bathroom is off the kitchen - disgusting! Not only is the toilet steps away from the refrigerator, it is falling apart. The whole place could use an in-depth cleaning and paint job.There were three sad, rusty sand chairs and a basket of threadworn beach towels. The outdoor area is surrounded by taller buildings and there is no privacy.The whole experience there was a disappointment.

Location, location, location! I cannot say enough about it. Beach access is excellent! we had a large area of the beach to our self as the larger condos and hotels are further up and down the beach on either side. The house, while being a little older, is very quaint and met our needs. The showerhead in the main bathroom is quite low and could easily have a new neck put on it to make it easier for anybody over the height of 4 feet. That was a very minor inconvenience.We did not have a vehicle which was a bonus. The parking is very limited due to the driveway and trees. There’s a trolley stop directly in front of the house so access was easy and quick.Cleanliness was OK. I would recommend doing some dishes before you jump in and start eating. The beds were pretty comfy and the couch was fine for the two hours we used it to watch a football game. The rest of the time was spent at the beach or in the community. Again, location is amazing. We would definitely return to this house!
