This was definitely in the top three locations we have ever visited. Very clean, friendly staff and we had access to everything we needed. I give 5 + stars. Thank you.
Grounds and upkeep of place are very well detailed. Cottage stocked for comfortable stay; provided beach chairs and beach towels. Right across the street from beach, close to Johns Pass, bus trolley for beach runs down Gulf Blvd. and Uber is a convenience. No need for rental car.
Overall very nice property. Everything was clean with exception of the floor. Our feet were dirty on ths bottom whenever we were barefoot. Would have given a 5 on cleanliness otherwise.
Hi,
We stayed at the cottage for 6 days and we had a very pleasant short vacation. It’s a great location, very close to the beach, restaurants, small convenience store. Thanks!
We have been to this location twice and it is always pleasant. The Host/Caretaker is avery helpful and keeps the grounds in great shape. The pool is a nice amenity.
The cottage was easy to locate and easy to access. Everything was very clean. The entire complex is a hidden gem. The beach is just across the street, plenty of places to eat within walking distance. We loved it so much we rebooked before we left.
Property was very small but just right for 2 of us. Furniture was beautiful. Refrigerator needs replacing and would recommend all the woodwork be washed, very dusty.
Great location and very clean little cottage! Our only complaints were that we didn’t always have hot water (the manger said it was probably due to the staff doing laundry), no tv in the bedroom, and the heated pool was ice cold. But it was an overall nice stay.
Pros
1. Nice pool, good parking, flowers, across from the Gulf.
2. Full kitchen, microwave, refrigerator, TV, comfortable bed.
Cons
1. Checkout time was too early at 10 am, standard is 11:00 am.
2. Needs paint, walls have holes, loose kitchen cabinets.
3. Two kitchen lights and the stove top light are burned out.
4. Dull kitchen knives are , no scissors, small bathroom
Perfect for a little get away.
The only complaint we had was not enough toilet paper.
No tissues. No dish soap to wash the dishes.
We bought them ourselves.

Good Location
My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights. We liked it mostly for the location.
Clean property, good management, owner communicated effectively and took care of even a small confusing issue with a chair. We have stayed in this area before and love it. Money well spent! Top notch location and quiet. Only a 2 minute walk across the street to an awesome beach.
