We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. It is so cute and feels like home. We had absolutely no complaints at all. Would definitely stay again.
This place was super cute, and comfortable. So many cute decorations in the home and cool art pieces. The neighborhood was quiet, clean, and safe. I walked up to the river one morning to enjoy my coffee at Scurrah's Landing. Short drive to downtown and beach. My mom and I were very comfortable staying here. I would recommend.
Very nice little home in quiet neighborhood. Pictures were alittle inaccurate as it made you think you were on the water, which you are not. You are couple blocks off water. Overall, a nice little place to stay
Nice quiet neighborhood, close to everything we needed and wanted to do, we will likely be back. The only complaint I would have is the loveseat and rattan living room chairs are beyond uncomfortable. I would recommend some updates to this room's furniture.

The interior was immaculate. Everything well organized, and stocked. Would definitely stay at this property again.
The house is so charming and very clean. It had everything you need. We l Ioved the neighborhood, perfect for walking. The beds and pillows are so comfortable. The water pressure is great in the shower. New washer and dryer, so nice to have. Mom is ready to go again.
We loved staying in this quiet coastal cottage! Close to downtown while still an intimate setting. Hosts were extremely accommodating and communicative. Would highly recommend and would not hesitate to stay again.
Local staycation was a success in an area accessible to all stores, near the river, and the house was clean, adorably decorated, well stocked, and comfort.
This is a precious little house! The owners have it decorated so nicely and the furniture was so comfortable. The house is located very close to the beach and lots of stores and restaurants.
