We loved our stay at this waterfront guest cottage! It was lovely and very comfortable and had everything we needed for a three day stay with our dog! Paul and his wife Yulia were great hosts, providing restaurant recommendations and were there if we needed them, but the cottage was very private and we didn't feel like we were staying in someone's house. It was very peaceful and quiet.

The home is exactly as advertised. Perfect size for two…made breakfast in kitchen every morning. We ate out for lunch with leftovers or cheese/crackers for dinner. Lovely swimming pool and the dock on the river is perfect! Even with it cloudy still got great sunsets. Hubby fished off the dock. Paul is an excellent host and is very knowledgeable about the area. Dog friendly was a plus!!

The property was amazing! The sunset views from the dock are some of the best I’ve ever seen. We also saw 9 dolphins. I can’t say enough about Paul. He is an amazing host. Check in was easy and communication was quick.We picked up chocolate and almond croissants at Paladar Cuban Eatery just down the street. Hands down some of the freshest croissants ever! It was great to sit outside by the pool and enjoy the boat traffic before low tide while having coffee. I can’t recommend this property enough. It is exactly as described and then some. Very clean. The host has the kitchen stocked with essentials you may need. If you are looking to relax, have some wine, read a book, go for a swim, watch a sunset, this is the place for you.
