Excellent property, clean, spacious and comfortable.
We loved our stay and will definetely come back. The beach is not the best and you must be aware of the tides to really enjoy it. The pool is very good.
Very nice condo amazing upgrades and the community was amazing the pool and beach are maybe a 3 minute walk away. Communication with property manager was fast and easy!! Definitely will stay again when we are back down!
We were excited to introduce friends to our favorite beach/island. This home was wonderful. The kitchen was well equipped. I especially appreciated the extra hanging hooks that were located in all the bathrooms and even some in the rooms. Given that you cannot hang towels or wet suites on balconies and porches, providing extra places to hang wet things was brilliant. Big thank you! It was great having a few bikes for our use as well as several beach chairs in the storage room. The house was very cozy and not a far walk from from the pool and beach access.
Our family enjoyed this cozy cottage which had all the amenities of home.

Our stay over the Labor Day weekend at Garden Cottage 71 was peaceful and very relaxing. The accomodations were clean and nicely decorated by the owner. We enjoyed good food at Tortuga Jacks, the Wharf (sooo good), Zachary's Riverhouse, Corridor Z and the Sunrise Cafe. We would come back and stay a week. this was not my first time at the Cottages and I would return for a longer stay with friends who want to come.
Loved everything about it. Ideal location, beautiful home, clean, spacious, comfortable. No issues whatsoever and I would stay here again in a skinny minute!

We very much enjoyed our second stay on the Cottages property and hosted all of our children and grandchildren with two adjacent cottages. It was very comfy and in great condition. Lots of places to relax and visit. Appliances in wonderful working order and enjoyed the lovely porches and furniture to relax on after a day biking and at the pool. Tad was very quick to assist with a minor cabinet issue and no problems at all. We have truly found our family tradition!

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, listing accuracy
Mostly great
Everything was great EXCEPT the property bylaws preventing the storage of trailers on the property… my condo didn’t happen to have a garage, and despite having a two car drive way where my trailer I used to tow my golf cart would easily fit, I was not allowed to stow the trailer on the property… this would be fine if the property offered any suggestions as to where to put the trailer during our stay, but the rep I spoke with ( actually they texted me and wouldn’t answer the phone) offered little or no help. The end result was I was forced into having my trailer stored down the road at another property… it just seems ridiculous when golf carts are pretty much the norm these days that this high quality property wouldn’t be prepared in any way to accommodate, or even deal with, these types of situations
