Just one more night…

We needed just one more night of beach time before school started, very last minute & this little cottage made it possible. The property is tiny but very well thought out & had everything we needed for a quick trip to Port A. We had an issue with some of the lights but the owner fixed very quickly. I would definitely recommend if you don’t need a yard or onsite washer/dryer.

Check in date not valued

I did not get to stay in cozy cottage because my Mom went in to ER and I had to go back to MN. When I tried to cancel the reservations I had to call the VRBO HELP DESK. The web site would not let me cancel because it said my reservation had already begun - even though my check in was the next day. When I talked to the VRBO representative they said that the check in date had already occurred because apparently the time zone they were in was a day earlier. When I pointed out that my rental was located in CST and my check in date hadn't yet arrived they said that was too bad but they couldn't help it. It was very disappointing.

Nice and clean cottage close to town

I gave this property and overall five star rating. Was very clean and comfortable. However, needs a few more items in the kitchen. I am a short term, rental owner myself. I would say add a large bowl… As we needed one for salad and pots and pans, need to be replaced especially the frying pan. I throw mine out all the time when the nonstick starts to come off otherwise everything was great and I will be staying here again.

Cutest place with the best host

Dakota was an awesome host! She communicated quickly and made sure we were taken care of on our stay! The house is perfect driving distance to the beach on a golf cart. Super clean and cute. We’ll definitely be back!
