Great Property, Great Location

The cottage was everything we needed for our stay. Quiet, comfortable, good local food within walking distance. It's also on a direct route to downtown without hitting any tollroads. Easy drive from the airport as well. Gian is a great host, we won't hesitate to use this spot on a future trip.

The Driftwood Cottage

It was a wonderful stay, and an excellent property! We had a great time, the place (which was adorable, by the way) was exactly as pictured, and the communication with the host was smooth as could be. Don’t hesitate, just book it! You won’t regret it. :)

Cozy Indoors & Outdoors

Just enough space for what we needed; cozy and comfortable inside, with lots of outdoor hangout options even in the small private yard. The bed was very comfortable and we slept great. It was easy to control the climate. The kitchenette was well stocked had all the basics to get us started. The quiet neighborhood has a coffee shop (good baked goods!) and small restaurant in walking distance (other end of the block), too.
