DB 9 Low Tide--1 BR Cottage, Living Room, Kitchenette, Walk to Beach, Dogs OK!
Welcome to the iconic Double Barr Cottages! Double Barr has been a favorite of Port A visitors for generations and is perfect for a quick beach getaway, a fishing trip, or family fun. Located just a couple of blocks from the beach in the "golf cart zone", you can walk, bike, or take a cart to the beach, fishing, or the many shops, restaurants, and other attractions downtown. The property has free parking, outdoor dining areas, and gas BBQ grills. An on-site laundry is available.
Cottage #9 (Low Tide) has been recently updated with a new configuration and new furnishings. When you enter, you'll find a kitchenette and a dining area that seats four. The main room has a retro vibe that will take you back to the Port A's historic past. The kitchen includes a refrigerator/freezer, gas stove, microwave, a coffee station, and all of the kitchen basics. While we supply pots, pans, dishes and utensils, we do not supply any reusable basics such a oil, spices, or condiments for safety concerns.. Towels for use in the house only, linens, and basic soaps are also provided.
Low Tide now has a separate living area with a sleeper sofa, a coffee table, and additional seating to give you a place to relax and catch a movie after a day at the beach. Whether you're in town for a weekend or several weeks, the living room gives you a comfortable space to watch television, play a game, or read. The couch folds out into a full sized bed to sleep 2 small adults or children. A smart television and wireless internet are included.
The bedroom is next to the living area and sleeps four guests. It has a queen bed, a set of bunk beds, and cable television. Next to the bedroom is the full bath with walk-in shower. Towels, linens, and basic soaps are provided.
Outside, you'll find green space to relax or spend time with your four-legged friend.
There is parking for two small vehicles next to the cottage. There is overflow parking available for oversize vehicles, boat trailers, or extra vehicles. Please inquire about availability of additional parking.
The cottage has window air-conditioning units and gas heat. Guests can use the outdoor picnic areas and gas BBQ grills. The guest laundry with 2 sets of washer/dryers is available for an additional fee.
Double Barr Cottages is dog-friendly subject to weight and breed limitations. We welcome well-behaved, adult dogs and ask that you clean up after them outside and kennel them if left alone in the cabin for an extended period. There is a pet cleaning fee of $50 per pet per stay. If you plan on bringing a dog, please let us know the weight and breed so we can pre-approve their stay with you.

Clean and Convenient
All as expected except smaller than we expected. Hosts were great. Table and chairs were flimsy and partially broken. It was quiet and air conditioning worked well. Good chance we will book again in the future. So grateful our small dogs were accepted

Cute, Clean and Close to the Beach
I loved how easy it was to check in. Super close to the beach, had a couple minor issues that one of the property mgrs came and fixed within 1/2 hour. It was the perfect size for 2 of us. Although we could have fit more. The listing did seem like there was 2 rooms, it was really the living room w pull out couch that had a lock on the door as well as a bedroom w/ bunk and queen. It was very comfy!

Spring Break 24
Everything was as listed in the description and communication was great. We loved being right between town and the beach.
Some things we’ve had in other places are cooking essentials like salt, pepper, cooking oil would be an awesome addition. A little stick vacuum to help with sand clean up would be great too. But we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely return!
