The extra-large patio offers a gas grill, completely charged, cleaned, and ready to go. Additionally, there is an outdoor patio set with plenty of room left for sunbathing or just watching the fishing boats go by in the distance. Bring your own kayaks or rent them locally. Cast a fishing line right off the patio! The cottage is air-conditioned and offers 2 full-size beds and 1 single bed in a cozy sleeping alcove off the living area. The living area also offers a futon couch.

The bay is fed by warm Gulfstream currents, so the water is always comfortable in season. Great for a refreshing afternoon swim. The calm waters of the bay offer an easy opportunity for water sports of any kind and a safe place for the kids.

Property on the side of the cottage off of the patio door from bedroom was unusable with junk all over. Inside was dreary and the worst was there was a MOUSE under the stove!! My son-in-law brought me a mouse trap and it snapped at 3 a m. I covered it up and left it for Dave to dispose of it. Would you pay $300 a night or would you book it out of there and want your money back?

The location was absolutely stunning right on the water. Close to everything and anything you can think of. I believe that we were the first ones for the season the house wasn’t as clean as we expected so we cleaned. But the property manager was very kind and communicative. I would stay again. But remember it’s a cottage. The only other thing is it needs some throw rugs in the bedroom just because the floor is a little cold on your feet. And some dish towels would be helpful also

7 nite stay at this cottage. Location is awesome. Cottage is, a cottage. Patio is right on the water and large. Maintenance of the property needs improvement. Weeds in concrete patio in every crack. 20 min. Job would be huge improvement. More time spent on patio, so that space needs work.

Property was great,loved being so close to the water. The cottage is really cute and comfortable. plenty of outdoor seating. One suggestion entrance could use a grab rail outside and a rail inside for individuals with mobility issues due to step ups.

Upon entering there was a musty smell and the cottage appeared to not have been cleaned as there was dirt and sand on the floors and the linnens were also musty smelling, airing out the house was necessary but not all the windows had screens , the toilet seat was not fastened to the toilet and i had to tighten the seat nuts before it could be used , there were damp rid buckets and moisture soaking pellets under the furniture and some were leaking fluids which had to be cleaned up a few times during our stay , the property was conveniently located on the beach and the neighbors were very hospitable which was what made the issues inside bearable , all in all I think the property location was great but some attention to the cleanliness is needed , my experience rating 6/10
