Summary: Johnny says: "The house was spotless and extremely well-organized. Every drawer and cabinet is labeled, making it so easy to find anything you need. The house is stocked with every item you might need during your stay, and everything looks brand new. This was one of the best we’ve ever stayed in. Highly recommend!"

IMPORTANT BOOKING NOTE: Our home is in a peaceful residential neighborhood and is best suited for guests seeking a relaxing stay. We strictly enforce our Quiet Hours policy from 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM—this means no outdoor noise, loud voices, or music during these hours.
If your trip planning involves late-night gatherings, loud parties, or amplified music, our home will not be a good fit. We use neighborhood-friendly noise monitoring devices (which measure volume levels, not conversations) and may terminate the stay without refund if the policy is violated.
We welcome respectful guests who will enjoy the property and treat our neighbors with consideration. If that sounds like you, we’d be delighted to host you.

Highly recommend Cozy Bungalow
From start to finish I had a great experience. They are quick to respond and the guide provided was perfect. The house was very clean, esthetically pleasing, and had extra accommodations such as a s’mores bar, wood for a fire, family games, laundry soap/dyer sheet and the little things you don’t immediately think of when traveling. The backyard was spacious and the pool and hot tub were an added bonus. There are beaches close and travel to stores was very resonable. When we are in the area again we will definitely look into staying here again.
