A quiet and relaxing cottage with a great location.

Everything you need and great location

Up front, I chose this due to the location and price, which were both stellar. In the end, my husband and I were so pleased we found this cute cottage that we will definitely recommend it and stay again. It's perfect for a couple or a smaller family. The shower was great, and the kitchen had everything we needed. We really enjoyed our stay!

a perfect fit for us

A simple and clean little cottage with a fantastic enclosed courtyard that was devine all times of the day and evening in April. With live oaks creating a full canopy and lush vegetation on three sides with the cottage on the other, the courtyard felt secluded and comfortable. And the fire pit was a nice bonus. The location of the cottage can't be beat with an easy walk to the beach and to the village, and the neighborhood was quiet when we were there for 11 nights.

The proctor cottage was perfect. Comfortable, clean, and homey. Even better than the pictures. Perfectly hospitable and sweet. Very close to the village which we enjoyed. A bit of a walk to proper beach, which didn’t bother us since it’s February. A lovely stay I hope to visit again.

Pleasant house but if you are a senior citizen...

We are in our 70's and the master bed was so high off the ground I could not safely get into it. There is a second bedroom with 2 single beds that I slept in. This has happened to us before as it must be a thing to have a high bed. We could not figure out the TV so we spent a few days without one. We would recommend a info sheet on directions how to operate. We enjoyed our time there and still would stay again.

Paintedcottage

Charming & newly painted - Unfortunately the cottage was very old and an odor that was similar to “cat spraying” lingered . The bathroom renovation was outstanding, but we had to leave because My daughter and I both have allergies and mine involves cats. Vrbo was fully understanding via phone in my situation.. as was the managing property owner BUT I am still waiting to hear on the refund... ? I am sure they are both going to honor what they each told me via phone and chat conversations.... will keep you posted!

Great stay

We had a great stay here. My wife and I stayed at this property years ago and were happy to be able to stay again with our two children. It is a cute little house that was exactly what we needed. It is very close to the village so walking to breakfast and dinner was very simple. Even considering it’s proximity to the village it was extremely quiet at night.

Loved the place. Enjoyed that it was close to the village, pier, and lighthouse. Walked across street to Methodist Church. Used the fire pit several times, sitting under the large oaks and palms. Bathroom and kitchen are wonderful. Great, quiet neighborhood. We'd go back tomorrow, but It it's a long drive from the Kansas City area. So glad we found this listing on VRBO.
