Clean. Very comfortable bed. Check in was easy. Nice location. The shower is really small and the water temperature in the shower was tricky to adjust. The only draw back for the dogs was that the fence around the yard is in disrepair so no possibility to run around off leash. Luckily there is a lovely dog park just a few minutes walk. Overall we really liked our stay!

The cottage was clean and had everything well stocked. The communication with Angela was great. We enjoyed the location of the cottage, close and walking distance to the beaches and shops. We had fun on the golf course and biking on the island was fun! The cottage needs some TLC But good value for the price.

Delightful little cottage

How I loved this small place under the trees near Middle Beach. I had absolutely everything I needed to be comfortable, to cook, to watch some old movies. My little dog didn't really want to leave. Well, me neither.

Eeek!!

This rental is in desperate need of TLC. The sewage leak underneath the property provides a long-standing home for the mosquitoes. The many bugs that run rampant through this property start with various ants, water bugs, and an unknown critter that crawled on my leg waking me up in the middle of the night. I assume they come in and out underneath the front door, since it has no weatherstripping, you can see at least an inch of daylight. Which also causes the air conditioner to work overtime. The extra shower knobs, make it difficult for shorter individuals to take a shower without hitting their head. The cabinetry and refrigerator are full of expired products, you know leftovers from other renters. The first rule in hospitality- thoroughly clean and prepare after a guest checks out, so it appears fresh and unused for the next guest. We would call this type of rental a St. Louis special it’s livable but on the lowest scale, D.

Pet friendly cottage

Communication with host was excellent as was the check in and out process. The shower had great pressure and plenty of hot water. The location is beautiful with a magnolia tree, pine tree and wisteria in full bloom hanging over the fence (which is in need of repair—stated in listing). It was easy walking distance to the beach—approximately 0.5 miles to the middle beach parking lot and another 0.4 miles to the water’s edge. It is a quiet neighborhood. The floor had not been swept well prior to us arriving as there was dog hair (we did not have a dog) when I swept. The deck is wonderful even though the patio furniture is well worn but comfortable. We had planned to use the electric fire place on one of the cooler days but it had previously overheated and the plug was partially melted. The host immediately responded saying she would check it out after we left. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Review from Missouri travele.

Loved the inside of the cottage. Everything worked and and was clean. Kitchen fully stocked with what we needed. Loved we could bring our small dog. Outside was a little green and moldly - alot of leaves, but it was still winter. Didn't bother us. Quiet neighborhood, close to beach and stores. Perfect. Thank you.
