This place is awsome and for a good price and it’s close to the beach I would recommend and come back again. My only complaint is the stains on the walls and the smell. The smell was not strong but it was not pleasant other than that this place is a great place to stay while you visit.

We enjoyed our stay. The cottage was clean. Communication with the staff was fast. Air conditioner in every room. Best of all you park right in front of the cottage so getting stuff in and out of the truck was a breeze. We would definitely stay there again.

Convenient and cute

This place is within walking distance of everything we needed. It’s not fancy, but we didn’t go to Port A to hang out in a cabin all day. Easy walk to the beach, several restaurants, and a convenience store. And the communication with the host was great! We’d definitely stay here again!
