Comfy
There was a lot of room in this property, and the owner thought of everything that you might need while on vacation, right down to curling iron. This is an older place, very clean. However, it’s about time to repaint the trim inside. The kitchen had everything you would need except food, of course. They did include a little bit of spices, olive oil, and some other things.

Love this place because close to beach, John’s pass across street. Had a hiccup when Debby hit us, owners were great to help. But maybe some games for when guests get stuck in. See you next time

Great Location, Communication, and Service!
The location was awesome - directly across from John's Pass, and very easy to grab some dinner or drinks and see live entertainment! The beach is also very easy to get to, I should have counted the number of steps - but v. close! The unit itself is great - roomy, good amount of space for the family to spread out. The kitchen is huge and there were ample supplies for us to cook our breakfasts each morning. We had a small item pop up during our stay - lack of batteries in the TV remote, and they were dropped off first thing in the morning! We didn't have to worry about being bored that first night as there was entertainment across the street, and there were plenty of books for us to choose from and start reading. After we left, we were more than an hour away and realized our son left his cell phone behind. A quick call and text to Cherie and we came up with various possible solutions that would work, and our situation was resolved without us having to drive all the way back. Everything was great, and we really enjoyed our stay. If we're ever back in the area, we will be renting from here again.

BAD. Floors filthy, lampshades and blinds very dusty, looked like MOLD in shower, kitchen supplies very used and a fist size hole in one of the walls and they charge $60.00 for damage which is non refundable. I recommend not staying here.

Great getaway!
We had such a fun time! The location is incredible, walking distance to everything johns pass. The owners were very fast to respond if we needed anything. Plenty of space inside for dinner/cooking! My only note I’d say is that the couch/futon can fit 2 small people, I’d recommend planning 1 person/adult size on the futon.

This is the 3rd year we’ve rented the cute purple cottage. It’s the perfect location, just a short walk to the beach and John’s Pass right across the street. It’s very clean and well taken care of. The owners are amazing! We will be booking again for next summer!

Perfect getaway!
Was worried about this unit because it was downstairs apartment and had window units in the listing. So glad we did it! It was exactly what we wanted. Was able to park the car when we got there and had everything we wanted in steps from the unit. We enjoyed the front patio and gas grill so much. Walked out back to the beach and out front to shopping, restaurants, drinks and live music. Can’t wait to stay again.

Across From Johns Pass
We loved the location of the house! Close to the beach and Johns Pass. This was our second stay at the house. We had some issues with the cleanliness of the house but the manager was prompt, professional and caring when addressing it and actually came and cleaned it herself while we were at dinner. Hopefully the issues get resolved so other families can enjoy their stay as it is a great property.
