Location was wonderful. Property manager was very responsive.

My daughter, sister, and I enjoyed staying in this sweet cottage! The home is great for a small, young family. It’s a quick walk to the beach and Ms. Caren has plenty of beach supplies for use (wagon, chairs, toys!) which makes packing simple. Overall, it was a pleasant stay!

We loved staying at this sweet little cottage, it was clean well stocked kitchen and comfortable beds. It was great to be able to walk one block to the beach and having the grocery store so close another plus. Caren was very helpful and lovely to meet.

We had an absolutely fantastic time! There is nothing bad to say about our stay at all! The location is perfect, the neighborhood is perfect, and the privacy is perfect. For anyone who is not considering staying here because the host lives nearby, do NOT LET THAT STOP YOU from enjoying this property! I have four small kids, extremely loud and rambunctious, the kind you have to apologize to your neighbors about. Not once did they seem to even phase Mrs. Caren at all! Affordability, proximity to the store and the beach, and the fact that the 11th street beach access is the least populated access in the area make this property a hidden Gem. If its available, BOOK IT! We will be coming back next year for sure!

The house was as advertised- very comfortable for four. THANKS for accommodating us

The apartment was warm upon arrival. I assumed because owner kept a/c at a higher temp when not occupied so I turned down thermostat to cool place. It never cooled off, we slept in heat. This is during 93 degree days. The next day we went to beach and came back to hot house, had to leave to find a/c elsewhere. I texted Caren at 6:30pm concerned the a/c was not working. She didn’t return my message until 10:30pm and said she was leaving a fan by the door. Then texted that she would reimburse my stay if I found the heat to be unbearable and needed to relocate. I managed to find a place to move my family (including my 6 month old) to near by…packed up and moved at 11pm-midnight! Caren said that repair person would come by at 10-11am next day (92 degrees by 10am, mind you) So, I went to the property and he never showed during that time. (Caren later claims he came and went to buy parts)The a/c was not working, so I had to make decision to fully move out of rental, as it was not a safe environment for us, especially a baby. The heat made it unbearable and it wouldn’t be repaired until afternoon. The most aggravation part of all of this is that Caren lives downstairs, so SHE KNEW THE A/C WAS NOT WORKING. I reached out to Caren asking that she reimburse my stay, as she had offered, because we had to leave the property and rent a place elsewhere for two of the three nights of vacation. She refused and only reimbursed one night (not even in full, considering other fees)

We'd gladly choose Caren's place again, even though (as some reviews have mentioned) it's across the street from the IGA and experiences delivery noise in the morning. That was no bother to us at all. This one checks all the boxes! Comfortable, convenient, clean, beautifully decorated, amenities like outdoor shower and beach toys, appointed well for home cooking. On top of that, we experienced great communication with the host (who was very patient with us as we couldn't make up our mind whether to come or not with a hurricane forecasted to pass through). We're so glad we did! Oh, and the master bed had the most comfortable mattress, highest quality covers, and plushest pillow of any rental we've stayed in. Perfect for a beach getaway.

The house was located close to the beach and half a block from the grocery store. So cute and lots of room. Neighborhood was safe and family friendly, we were able to let the kids bike up and down the street without worry. I loved the huge screened-in front porch, which made morning coffee so enjoyable. The host was very responsive and friendly. The only upgrade needed was the main shower, but all else was PREFECT! We will stay again, hopefully soon. :)
