Great Property, Rude Host

The property was beautiful and we loved that it didn't feel like a busy tourist place. It felt more like a small town with more locals than tourists. The home was a perfect size for our group of 7 and we loved the screened in porch. When we asked the host if we were supposed to provide our own toilet paper, however, we were told it was not an unlimited supply. This was on the first full day of our stay. We reminded the host that there were 7 of us staying for 4 nights and there was not extra toilet paper in both bathrooms as stated, we were told there was no need for us to get nasty. We couldn't find anything to do dishes with as well. The host did bring more toilet paper and disposable cloths for dishes, but we have never been treated like that by a host before and will not return to this property because of the poor customer service.

Nice Long Weekend

The place was just as advertised. It was easy to find. it was right on the water with a small water access for fishing or launching a kayak. There were plenty of good restaurants in the area.

Best view ever!

We enjoyed a quiet relaxing few days overlooking the water from the screened porch! The home was clean, well-equipped and very comfortable- with the exception of one bed which had a rather lumpy mattress. We will definitely look forward to a return visit!

Cottage by the bay

An old fashion cottage with a nice screened porch to watch the tide. We also watched an otter catch a fish and watched the moon rise over the bay. It's a very simple accomodation but it has everything you need, very clean. Feels like old Florida.

Love this little cottage!

We arrived in a terrible rainstorm after dark… It would have been nice if there had been outside lights. Once inside, we fell in love with this charming 1930’s cottage! It had a well stocked kitchen, with all the modern amenities. Not recommended if you can’t do stairs since the house is on stilts. Christine was very responsive to our questions. The screen porch with rocking chairs looking over the bay were perfect! Wish there hade been a queen sized bed. We will be back!

Lovely Cottage on the Water

The Bay Cottage was a beautiful place to stay on the water. Fabulous front porch with an incredible view. Cottage is tastefully decorated and has everything that you need to relax and have a great time. The Host -- Christine -- was very accessible and accommodating. Will plan on scheduling a return trip in the near future.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This small bay front cottage had everything we needed to make our stay comfortable and fun. The kids were a bit disappointed that the beach is a low tide sliver of sand but managed to find a lot to do when we weren’t out and about in the community. My only suggestions for improvement is the outside lighting. I really thought a light at the bottom of the stairs would make coming up and down after dark safer. You can’t see the bottom step due to the way it’s set going into the underside of the house when it isn’t full daylight outside.

Beautiful view outside, inside different story

The view was pristine overlooking the water from The back porch but the outdated interior played into effect quickly after check in. The house has furniture that is extremely dated which we were ok with overlooking. That was until the roach infestation was discovered and then I just couldn’t relax with ease. A few hours after checking in we were looking for dish towels to dry dishes and came across a colony of roaches under the sink. I emailed the POC for the property and was told “ Again my apologies for the inconvenience. Pest control was there today to treat the house. The owner has been made aware of the issue.” We went and bought roach spray to try and assists for our two day stay but it did not seem to help much. I had a hard time feeling comfortable the rest of our stay and every time I turned a light on or entered a new room I spotted roaches. So book with caution. If roaches don’t bother you, it’s a quiet place with great views; but I just could not seem to enjoy it when my skin was constantly crawling wondering what I was sitting, eating, and sleeping with every night. I’d load the video and pics I sent the poc but the review area does not have that option.

Relaxing Vacay!

We loved this property! The screened porch with the swing and rocking chairs was our favorite part! The property was comfortable, clean, and well stocked. Our only complaint is the one full bath (only one shower) and the half bath didn't have a light, so we had to use our phones to light the room at night.
