The cottage is part of an old home so it has some quirkiness to it which one would expect and we didn't mind, sort of shabby chic I would say. The outdoor seating areas were charming. Parking was plentiful and easy. An easy 15-20 minute stroll through beautiful historic neighborhoods to the downtown area which has plenty of bars, restaurants and shops. The kitchen allowed us to eat in as well with full sized fridge, small range, and the basic pots, pans, dishes and utensils. Also, a washer/ dryer for convenience as well. Shockingly for an old FL home, we did not see 1 bug for the entirety of our stay. The only negatives that I could mention is that the windows were stuck shut, we would have like a little cool breeze, but I guess that lends to the no bugs and security. Also in the Ivy Cottage the vaulted ceiling was open to the bedrooms and living room so not much privacy as far as noise was concerned. Overall an enjoyable stay.
