The home is well kept and has everything we needed for an excellent stay at the beach. While not directly beachfront, there is a very short path to reach the beachfront. Chairs and umbrellas made for a comfortable day at the beach. The kitchen and grill had everything we needed to cook meals. Our hostess had excellent communication with us throughout the stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this Old Florida cottage surrounded by mature pine trees. The cottage was spotless, well appointed, and very easy to settle into, and it was only a few steps from the beach! The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed to prepare meals, but we occasionally took advantage of a few restaurants within walking distance. Sue, the host, was very responsive to the few questions we had. What a great find!

Loved this spot! Small cottage tucked in amongst some trees and other rentals. Felt very private. Direct access to beach with a larger house also on the property. Very clean. Perfect for a small family wanting a little beach getaway. They also have beach chairs and toys and various other beach related items so you don’t need to bring anything like that. Highly recommend!

Perfect place for a relaxing beach vaca

This is the 1st time hubby & I took a vaca where all we did was RELAX. This is the perfect place- they give you everything you will need to chill on the beach (umbrella/chairs) and it’s only a few feet away! Great views, restaurants and shopping close by. We stopped at a grocery store & stocked up so we barely had to leave. Highly recommend

Beautiful Beach Location

The cottage was so conveniently located by the beach. A few steps and you are on a quiet beach. The owners supplied everything you need for the perfect day at the beach: chairs, umbrella, towels, cooler, etc. The cottage itself also has everything you could need. The kitchen was stocked with all of the cooking and dining necessities. Master bed was comfortable enough for us and overall everything was clean. A wonderful week away.

A very clean cottage with everything needed for a nice stay. Chairs for the beach, very easy walk to the beach or the store or a restaurant. Wonderful sunsets! This cottage takes you back to a simpler time, when simple accommodations were all you needed to enjoy a good stay at the beach. Bring your favorite book and flip flops.

Beach cottage

What a perfect little beach cottage! Having to only walk a few steps to the beach was amazing. The cottage was equipped with everything we needed from kitchenware to extra towels. There were beach chairs and umbrellas and toys to play in the sand. The outdoor shower was used a lot to wash our sandy toes before going back in the house. Close to a few restaurants and of course ice cream! We had a great week and would love to come back again.

Amazing hidden gem

Rent it NOW! This cottage is a hidden gem. We basically had the beach to ourselves. The water was a little cold at this time of the year but it was totally worth it. The property was very clean. There was everything we could ever need. The knives were a bit dull if you are planning on cooking, but besides that, great location, great cottage, and everything nearby. I will definitely go back next year. Hosts were very prompt as well. Loved this area of Florida. More laid back and more family oriented. You can’t go wrong with this cottage.
