Rock on Lobster Cottage

The stay was great! I grew up not far from the cottage and loved the location and the facilities. Very clean and comforting. Awesome set up, very user friendly. Best parking available for residents on the beach. Highly recommend this cottage. We look forward to staying here again.

Rock Lobster cottage 2

We loved the location, just a short walk to the beach and many good restaurants and bars within walking distance. The weather didn't really cooperate while we were there so we spent more time in the cottage than we anticipated.

cozy- great location!

We had a great time visiting this cozy cottage. Great beach access as well close to restaurants, bars, and shops. Great for two people! It has a small fridge and outdoor lighting was not working. I contacted via email about the lights, to which I had received no response. However, we would definitely stay there again!

Family Vacation

Very clean, but also very small. Fridge could be bigger. It's hard to keep both drinks and food cold. We had to borrow a cooler for ice etc. It's perfect for 2 people. The location is why we booked it. The ocean is just steps away and fabulous. Walking distance to Johns Pass and an ice cream shop. Lots to do and see. We had a great time!

Amazing location, but extremely thin walls

This property is located at the entrance to the beach. It is a perfect, quiet neighborhood that is in easy walking distance to restaurants, an ice cream shop and lots of shopping. The only downside to the bungalow is it has extremely thin walls. We heard EVERYTHING that the family in other apartment said and we could SMELL everything they cooked. Overall, this place is really great, but some insulation would really go a long way!

Perfect for two!

Rock Lobster #2 was perfect for the two of us. Small but all we needed for a beach vacation! The door separating the two units was not enough as we could hear every word, but we didn't spend much time indoors anyway. The bedroom was quiet and the bed was very comfortable! We were close enough to walk to restaurants and shops and we saw dolphins daily on the way to and from dinner. The beach was a very easy walk 1 minute! Very beautiful beach! We highly recommend! Only two things I wished for....a washer and dryer and no connecting door between units. Otherwise, perfect!

Paper thin walls - beware!

The place is cute and well-located and the team was kind and helpful, but… there is no soundproofing between the units. You will hear everything your neighbors say and (unfortunately) DO! I had the misfortune of having an obnoxious man next door. Though the property management is certainly not responsible for his aggressive and disrespectful behavior, I think the sound situation should be addressed and language about respecting your neighbors should be posted in the units. The owner did give me a partial refund which was very kind. (I was too scared to stay another night). If you rent the entire place, you will enjoy it, but if you only rent one of the units, I hope you have better luck than me with your neighbors.

Treasure Island

We had a great time staying in this little cottage. It was clean and perfect for our stay. You can hear neighbors in the adjacent cottage but we weren't there for long periods of time. The fridge/freezer is small but we just planned on going to the store a couple times. The smoke alarm went off while making toast. Moved the toaster to the screen porch to resolve. Bed was nice. The couch wasn't very comfortable but again we weren't there most of the time. I would stay here again if we're back in the area. Overall 5 rating. The small things I mentioned are typical of anywhere you stay.

Not so comfortable cabin.

The location was perfect. The bed was very uncomfortable. The futon couch was horrible. It was so small there was no place to put anything anywhere. Other than the location, the cleanliness and the person we were in contact with everything else wasn't worth it. Will not stay again.

Kendall stay 6/16 - 6/23

We loved the property and had a great time. A few suggestions - somewhere to rinse the sand off outside, hooks outside to hang wet items when coming back from the beach. The plastic piece that covered the water well on the coffee pot was broken but we managed to use it. There were only 4 bath towels for the two of use to use during our week there, more towels would have been nice. I was able to get more from the staff cleaning the property next door. The tree was overgrown on the property and made it hard to navigate the path with our luggage.

Great Beach Rental

This was a cozy lil cottage that was just what we wanted. Great location. 30 secs from the beach was great. We spent every day there. Shopping and dining were just 10-15 min walk away w everything u needed. Cottage had everything we needed. Only downfall was a dorm fridge instead of full sized. Tough to get groceries for the week. Overall it was a fantastic stay w great location.

On the beach cottage!

We enjoyed the stay and loved how close we were to the beach. We are older and it would have been nice to have access to some decent beach chairs and an umbrella. We had to drag the Adirondack chairs from the property to the beach. Overall though our Treasure Island stay was great!
