This cottage is in a great location. Walkable to some restaurants and coffee shops.The pictures on the website are accurate but there are a few things that need attention:1. AC in the living room is loud. My daughter slept there and struggled to hear the TV when she was relaxing.2. The sofa is stained. It needs deep cleaning.3. Bed sheets (i.e. flat sheets) for the sofa would have been nice. My daughter had to use quilt bedspreads and one of them was also stained.We liked the small fenced in yard that we used for our dog. Move out instructions were simple which is always a good thing.Owners were responsive via VRBO contact and also when I called to ask about the sofa sheets.It’s definitely a no frills place which is made clear from the photos.

This little cottage was perfect, close to the best beach in Texas, close to all the downtown restaurants, and yet far enough away to get a quiet night's sleep. Very comfortable and cozy place and we'll definitely return!!!
