I rented this place on a whim due to some issues at another place and it was perfect. Small and cozy. Water pressure for shower is terrible but the comfy beds make up for it.

Cozy cottage, exactly as described. We enjoyed our stay very much! Perfect for a family with a couple kids or 2 couples. The kitchen was well equipped. Loved the screened in front porch, great for letting our suits and dive gear dry out. The pool area was very nice and there were a bunch of kayaks avaliable for use. We had a couple very minor issues (wifi and slow drain) and Elena was VERY quick to respond and super friendly and helpful! She made it clear that if we had any other issues to please text her and she would be happy to come right back and fix them. She wanted to make sure everything was perfect for us. Great location, one block from a beautiful beach. Lots of really good restaurants close by, great suggestions and helpful info in the welcome binder. Very reasonably priced for the location and amenities! We're already talking about a return trip!

We had an amazing stay and would love to return! There were so many amenities that we took advantage of! We enjoyed being steps away from a beautiful, wide open beach! We used the kayaks and laundry, too. We were so close to great restaurants and the place was so neat and clean! Thanks again!
