Great for Bachelors

The owner was great and extremely responsive to messages however it just wasn't quite what we were expecting in comparison to the photos we viewed online. We were there for a wedding and only had one small bathroom mirror to get ready in. Also the place had some mold and mildew visible in the A/C units and shower. We had extra tenants (ants) during our visit and one of the rooms had egg or cheez wiz on the door. While it wasn't the place for us I think a group of bachelors would be a perfect fit for this place. The location is great and as I said the owner is very responsive.

Good beach cottage

Stayed here recently with my husband and two pups. Property is exactly as described. Simple beach cottage one street back from main drag. Great location, easy to walk to beach, restaurants and bars. Kitchen is well equipped and great to have laundry. No pantry items so guests should bring their own. Appreciate being able to bring our dogs. One suggestion would be to offer a couple of beach chairs and towels. We did not spend any time on beach but that would be a good add. Only downside is the bedrooms are tight and both beds have footboards. We both stubbed our toes! All in all a good cottage and we would recommend.

Cozy place to stay for a few days.

Clean and well furnished, but showing it's age despite renovations. New appliances and kitchen counter go a long way to make the property welcoming, but the noisy and difficult to control HVAC and dehumidifier units made it hard to get an uninterrupted nights sleep. The house has settled around the perimeter, so there's a distinct slope from the center in all directions and the vintage paneling has gaps throughout the house, some 1/2" wide, detracting from the otherwise neat and tidy appearance. The owner supplied enough necessities to last our 4-day stay, shampoo, TP, laundry pod, etc, so we could enjoy ourselves without worrying from day one.Overall, we enjoyed our stay. The area was quiet at night, despite being mostly rentals, likely due to the rentals being mostly faimilies. The short walk to the beach was ideal, as we were far enough away to avoid the hotel crowds and street noise, but close enough to walk to the beach carrying our chairs and cooler without a problem.

Cheer Competition

Quick trip for cheer competition at the Wharf. Our only complaint is not being able to leave the air conditioner in the bedroom running due to vibration and noise.. Otherwise, everything was great!

Cottage Stay

This little cottage is perfectly located. We walked to shopping, dining, the beach and a Mardi Gras parade. We were here for an extended stay and was able to bring our sweet fur girl which was such a bonus. Clean and just right.
