Owner sold the nice kitchen table while we were there replaced with one that was not as nice. We cleaned the couch of dog prints before we sat but we love dogs so it was fine. The BBQ grill was never ever cleaned we took care of it. All that said we had a fantastic time. Loved watching the dolphins and birds. Will stay here again when we go back to florida

This cottage is a relaxing refuge by the sea. Dolphins stopped by multiple times a day to show off. The unit has a cheerful and relaxing vibe.
