We enjoyed our two month stay at “Back on Track” cottage. Simply furnished with comfortable furniture and adequate cooking utensils. Very dog friendly. Our pup loved walking along the lagoon path and we enjoyed many sunsets over the water from the lagoon piers. Hosts were very responsive to any questions we had. Although we didn’t use it, the pool looked very clean and inviting.

We had a great stay at Artie’s place. The house is beautiful and comfortable. We had a few questions along the way, and Artie was always so quick to respond. We loved the pool! Great hours for the early risers or late nighters. The beach is a bit of a walk but a beach cart and all the essentials are provided which made it so much easier with 2 littles. Would definitely stay again in the future!
