Heather and Rhonda were outstanding hosts. We stayed for a month while my daughter recovered from surgery, and this cottage was exactly what we needed. Everything was modern, clean, and well maintained. The place is adorable, cozy & comfortable, with thoughtful touches like board games that made it feel welcoming and easy to settle into. The location in the Cargo District is great- quiet, convenient, and close to so many unique things to do. Communication was stellar from start to finish. They were responsive, kind, and genuinely cared about our experience and even asked about my daughters recovery. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it.

This is a hidden gem! The house is adorable and convenient to major attractions. There are lots of amenities on the property to use & enjoy. There is even a container village with lots of restaurants across the street. I was concerned there would be a lot of noise, but the majority of the businesses closed around 9 pm. We had no problems and thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Independence Day week

Exceptionally very nice and clean home. Two couples celebrating a birthday and spending time together. Had some great beach days and game nights at the house. Didn't realize it until the last night that the shed had cornhole beach chairs and a grill. So we took advantage of that on the last night. Would definitely stay again

Arrived late and could not get in. Door code had not been updated. Had to contact VRBO and get refunded. Then had to find a new place to stay. Property owner didn’t reply to VRBO messenger until the afternoon of the following day to apologize.
