About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire apartment to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
Sweet & Simple 1BR – Perfect for Two
A sweet little space large enough for 2 people with all the amenities of a larger home! The chickadee is small, but mighty and comes with a full kitchen, washer and dryer and semi private back yard. This apartment is apart of a small residential complex made up of 5 units however in my opinion, the chickadee is the most private.
A sweet little space large enough for 2 people and fully equipped for a short or long term stay.
Everything inside the home is private and accessible, everything outside is a shared space. The apartment does come with a semi private backyard for Chickadee use only.
We love interacting with our guests but that is up to you :) feel free to reach out to ask anything!
The neighborhood is a safe and quiet one.
I always recommend renting a car to get around but ubering is possible to enjoy the beaches and downtown!
This apartment is part of a larger complex made up of 5 total units. The property is large enough for everyone to have their own privacy and not hear one another. The chickadee has the most private entrance out of the 5 units.
Please note the check in time is 5pm, however I will always send the check in as soon as the home is ready. Most times, I am able to send the check in around 3pm however It is never a guarantee. We will always try our best to get you in as early as possible.
** A 4% CHARGE WILL APPLY FOR ANY CANCELLED RESERVATIONS*** Friendly Reminders Before Your Stay:
Third-Party Bookings: If you’re booking on behalf of someone else, please let us know in advance. We’ll need their full name, phone number, and a valid photo ID before approval. While your own Airbnb account is verified, a third-party guest is not—so this extra step ensures safety and compliance for everyone. Many hosts do not allow third-party bookings, but we’re happy to accommodate them with proper verification.
Damages & Responsibility: Please treat the home with care during your stay. The booking guest is responsible for any damages, late checkouts, or additional cleaning required. This includes plumbing issues caused by flushing foreign objects, excessive toilet paper, or baby wipes. If a plumber is needed to remove a clog or restore service, the cost of that visit will be billed to you as damage reimbursement.
Pets: We love hosting furry friends! Please let us know before arrival so we can include the pet fee(s), which covers the extra cleaning care they require.
The fee is per pet—if you’re bringing more than one, we’ll manually request the additional fee after your booking is confirmed.
If a pet arrives unannounced or undocumented, a $300 fee will automatically apply after check-in.
Cancellations: This reservation is non-refundable. We recommend purchasing travel insurance to protect your plans in case something unexpected comes up.
Smoking: The home is non-smoking indoors. Smoking is welcome outside only—please use designated areas and dispose of butts responsibly. A minimum $500 fee applies for indoor smoke remediation.
Extended Stays (29+ Days): Stays over 29 days must be requested and approved in advance. We’ll require your photo ID, email address, and a signed lease agreement confirming your check-in and check-out dates.
No security deposit is required; however, there is a $365 private insurance cost that will be requested after booking.
Your reservation is not fully secure until the lease and ID are received.
About Us: Kosta Coast Vacations operates under Mitchell Dean Realty and is authorized by the homeowners to sign leases on their behalf. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions about this process—there are no exceptions to these policies, and we’re always happy to help ensure a smooth stay.

I would stay here again
The chickadee was spacious for a one bedroom cottage… It was definitely comfortable… However, the walls were thin and you can hear occupants in adjacent units and you can hear the traffic outside when you’re laying in bed in the morning… The biggest problem is that the kitchen only had one duplex electrical outlet so I had to keep unplugging my small appliances in order to plug-in the other one like my tea kettle, my ninja blender the toaster… It was a little annoying, but I would stay here again, and I would simply bring a power strip and a small table because there wasn’t much room to put my appliances on
