It’s not just a house, it’s a home. My daughter stayed while attending summer classes at the sea lab and my husband and I also enjoyed the house. Felt very safe and felt like home.

We love staying out this rental due to peaceful area. The place is always clean when we arrive. We love to sit on the patio and bird watch. Only set back this visit was a cold front came thru in late April and made it to cold to take a dip in the gulf water !

Comfortable 2nd floor accommodations among the pines and residential neighborhood, full kitchen, strong shower, working washing machine, dryer and dishwasher, large shaded covered deck amenable to bird watching and listening, relaxing, and outdoor meals. Note; the stair steps are of maximum height and plentiful.
The spacious public beach is easily accessible by foot and becomes wilder walking eastward. Pirate's Cove Bar & Grill is less than a mile down the road and Skinner's Seafood, 2 bird sanctuaries, and gift shops are close by.
Cooking supplies may not fit everyone's needs and I was glad to bring my own. Internet access works well, the TV streaming options are limited, and the DVD player works fine.
I contacted Joy once and she graciously responded within an hour. We would happily rent this place again.

The place is a little dated. Everything was well maintained and clean. The location is secluded and quiet. A little walk or drive to the public beach access. Overall, the rental surpassed my expectation.

The house is centrally located and secluded. Minimal traffic and very little noise (except some construction work on nearby houses during the week). The house is perfect for 2 people and is pet friendly. The yard has a fence but it is falling down in some places. Unless you have an off-leash trained dog, I would recommend keeping them on a long line to go potty. My husband enjoyed hanging out on the porch in the chair. Stairs are a little hard if you have mobility issues, but they are manageable. If you're just looking for a place to stay and don't care about the fancy frilly stuff, this place is ideal. We didn't need to pay extra for fancy stuff like at other places. The house fit our needs well and I would recommend staying there again.

The house is nice, and cozy. However to our surprise there was people going under the house. The cottage was booked most of our w week stay. Im sorry but that was invasive and no getting around it! The stairs go up to the back of the house! We never dreamed that people would be there and theres no privacy at all! We did our best to not make them feel awkwardly. The house itself was fine. A hottub would be nice! The silverware and kitchen utensils are cheap and very hard to cook with! I would say new pots and pans and nice silverware. The owner was nice enough, i would book again if suggestions were addressed.

This is the second time we've stayed at this property. It's an older home nestled among tall trees, and close enough to the public beach for very easy access. The home is well-supplied and the beds are very comfortable. It's dog-friendly. And the owner is always very kind and responsive. Although the house appeared to be clean there was a musty smell, especially in the bathroom. Perhaps a deep clean is in order?

My husband and I have been staying in this little home for decades on our visits. Its perfectly located right in the middle of the island a short walk to the public beach. The location is soo quiet and peaceful. The home is stocked well and very clean. The host is precious... we feel its our home away from home each fall.. Our dogs made their 3rd trip to this house with us.. and they are home away from home too.. Excited to return next fall.

We enjoyed our stay in the house. It is an older home, but everything I used worked fine. It just needs cosmetic and furniture updates. The backyard was nice to use for our dog especially since the other house was vacant for our week. The fence is down in a few spots though. It is a short walk to the public beach (3/4 mile to water) and a block from the bike path. Overall the house was quiet and comfortable for my son, dog and I.

Beautiful house. Just right for the two of us and our small dog. Everything needed was available in house. Very comfortable.
If any future visits we know to bring groceries with us as very expensive in the local shops.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

This sweet little house is so home like, very well stocked with anything you might need and have forgotten to bring. Quite, nested in a beautiful lush green blanket of trees and plants, there is no end to the charm. Our time here was well spent. A short drive to anyting you would wish, or a brisk walk to the beach. I hightly recomend this location for anyone wanting a quite get away, or anyone with chidren. Cute twin bedroom set up was perfect set up for my son. Thank you so much, we are already taking about a return trip next year.

This is my second year at this property and we stayed in the cottage the year before that - so i have been extremely pleased 3 years in a row with both properties. I love that it is quiet and feels secluded. It is in the middle of the island so it's quick to get everywhere. The new grill was wonderful to use. We found everything we needed and everything was clean for us to use. Thanks, Joy!!! We'll be back next September!!

The property was perfect, had everything we needed and then some. We just were not aware/prepared that there was not really a grocery store there on the island. What they had was super pricey and not a lot of option. Overall would stay there again, just be a bit more prepared.

This is a great property for two couples, kitchen had everything and even a dining table on the deck. Seafood market, grocery store, and beach a short walk. Joy was easy to deal with when we had questions.

We had a very enjoyable and relaxing time. Our only criticism is that we didn't know that a second house on the property was also being rented by another party.

The house is in a great location. Close to 2 restaurants & beaches. The house was very accommodating. The bed slept wonderful, and the porch swing was great place to relax. I would definitely stay there again.

Convenient location on the island .Large fenced in yard but there is another house in the fenced in area and they had dogs also. We spent a lot of time on the large covered porch .The house was spacious. They kitchen was well stocked with dishes and cookware. We contacted our host about the wifi password and she replied back quickly.

The property was as pictured as online,We stayed there four nights the twin beds in the second room could use their mattress replaced.The place could use a few updates but other than that it was ok for our stay.

Clean and comfortable property. Great patio for bird watching and lounging. Be aware that there is a separate rental property in the backyard. We were planning to let our small dog use the fenced in yard, but the other people staying there had a large dog, so we were unable to do so.

Lovely older property surrounded by trees and within walking distance of a large (and not very populated) public beach. Everything we needed was provided (but bring your own cooking oil if you plan to use the kitchen). Comfortable and dog friendly!
