Gracious host
Our stay was not for leisure (traveling for work) so our schedule did not allow us to take advantage of what I’m sure would have been wonderful breakfasts. Everything was as expected from the listing. Would recommend for a relaxing getaway.

Caveat Emptor !!!
If you are considering renting this unit, I suggest you ask the owner to send you pictures of the inside of the “shower” before committing. In addition, I would also suggest you ask for exact dimensions of the shower stall, width and depth. Also, the height of the “ceiling” from the highest point and lowest point. The shower is built into the underside of the roof. That is, the bottom of the roof is the ceiling of the shower. As the roof slopes down, so does the ceiling in the shower. I estimate the highest point of the ceiling is 5’ 11” and slopes down to 4’ at the lowest point of the ceiling. At the point where you step into the shower I estimate the ceiling height to be 5’9”. If you’re taller than 5’ 9” you will have to bend over to shower. However, it should be noted that the owner does graciously provide a little brown plastic stool to sit on if you prefer sitting while you shower. Failure to speak to or post photos of the shower is a willful and egregious “misrepresentation by omission” ! The owner does not want you to see this shower! The owner charges a premium rental rate for this unit and the unit itself is unremarkable and mediocre at best. If lack of transparency, paying a premium rental rate for a mediocre unit and sitting down to take a shower are not a problem for you, then perhaps you’ll be happy there.

Beautiful positive energy cottage!
Thank you Martha! I love the way you decorated your cottage and how we arrived to awesome music playing and the beautiful smell of the house! What a welcoming! It was like arriving at Disney Land. Just pure excitement! My friend Doug, and I, had one of our best weekends cooking in the fabulous kitchen, walking to the white sandy beach, kayaking to the giant stone in the water by the beach, exploring the restaurants, and enjoying everyone in town! Everyone in town was super friendly and kind. Only good vibes!

Great Location and Friendly Host
Martha was a very gracious host. The space was was perfect with a bathroom, comfortable bedroom, and a living room with space for cooking, working, and socializing. Another review mentioned the dogs. There are dogs and they do bark when you come in, but there are barriers to keep them out of your space and they never disturbed me. The bathroom was fine, but might be a little small for anyone over 6 ft tall. The location is perfect with everything in downtown Port Austin within walking distance.
