We enjoyed our time at the home, although we weren't there very much. It was clean and comfortable. The description says the upstairs is for kids and it definitely is. One of us slept up there, which was fine, but ceilings are low and it's less polished than downstairs. I would return to the property!

We had a great stay. The house was cozy and perfect size, they had everything you would need for your stay.we spent a lot of time on the dock fishing and just hanging out on the patio. Only issue was gps had a hard time finding the house and it was not clear if we were at the right place. We texted the owner and they gave us perfect directions and we settled in quickly.

Comfy and peaceful

The cottage was just right for me and my 2 teenagers (15, 19). We were out and about the JAX area for 5 days. It was always a joy to return to the cottage and chill between events. The hosts are gracious and friendly. I had interesting conversations with each while relaxing by the pool. They made their property welcoming for me and my family. What a treat!
