Wonderful location! This cottage is a home away from home in all ways. We travel with Chis and the fenced in backyard was great. The only “heads up” I would offer is there is no AC in the back of the cottage, where the only bathroom and bedroom is located. The AC in the front of the house was great. With fans properly positioned, it was just tolerable in the excessive heat and humidity during our stay. We will definitely be back Our Host was absolutely accommodating and quickly responded to and addressed everything we communicated about.

The house is so cute!! Love the colors outside. Nice backyard if you have a dog. Kitchen was fully furnished - soap paper towels pots and pans foil bags spices. It’s close enough to downtown to walk but not so close that it’s noisy. We had a good time there

the air conditioning worked. It was a little difficult to figure out but we got it. The property was very pet friendly. The location could not have been better. Just off of Government street amongst all the shops and restaurants. Perfect!! The bed was comfortable and the shower head was incredible. We'll be looking to get one of our own.
