We completely enjoyed our stay! Location is steps from restaurants, shops, and the beach! Mornings on the balcony with coffee were great. The unfortunate hurricane damage to nearby buildings afforded us a clear view of the gulf and sunsets. We would absolutely stay again!

Easy beach stay

Comfortable, no-frills stay for one or a couple. Easy access to beach as well as restaurants and shopping at John’s Pass. Handy parking, nice deck and patio with grill. A few basic items that would be helpful: kitchen linens, basic storage containers and hand soap.

This was a unique beach experience

You are exceptionally close to dining, shopping and entertainment if you want or being on the upper back deck, which is partially covered, allows you casual, relaxing down time. And the beach is hardly a minute away. The best of all worlds!!

We had an amazing stay! Cherie was great we got there earlier than check in and she was very accommodating by letting us get into the cottage early. The cottage is centrally located with a minimal walk to the beach and across the street from the boardwalk. We will definitely be back!! I would highly recommend staying here!

Awesome location

This property is just across the street from our favorite tiki bar and you can enjoy the live music in the fenced front yard or the private balcony in the back that you can see the water and beach as you sup your morning coffee. John's Pass boardwalk is across the road with all its little shops and pubs and restaurants. Plenty of boat cruises and beaches. So much to see!

I was visiting my daughter who was transferred to Macdill AFB in Tampa. The location of Cottage on the Pass was excellent. Not to far from anything. 35 min. to Tampa. I stayed 4 nights. I became comfortable rright away. It was a 3 minute walk to the ocean. I hated to leave. Cherie was great. I would love to stay here in the future. Just for a longer period of time next time. Thank you so much ! Kevin C.

Super cute and clean unit, with a full kitchen that has everything you need to prepare meals, including a gas grill outdoors. We especially enjoyed sitting on the huge back deck in the morning. Walking distance to EVERYTHING, including the beach. We rarely used our car while we were here! Air conditioner works great and the bed is super comfy! We'll be back!

Cottage on the pass

Pros: Great price, close to a beautiful beach, great communication with owner. Easy check in and out. Nice facilities, comfortable bed, and we loved the stackable washer/dryer and the private large deck on the upper unit was a definite bonus. Cons: We weren't too disturbed by the live music( it is going from noon to 10pm). Our only complaint would be the traffic noise. Busy street in front and it did get irritating( loud Harleys, horns, etc) and a little hard to get in and out for parking. Overall good experience!

Cozy, adequate place for two, but the music across the street was loud enough to drown out the tv. It was tolerable for the first couple of days but got old real fast. Music from noon to 10:00 pm. If you want peace and quiet this place isn’t for you.
