The Space

The private bungalow features an open floor plan with vaulted ceilings, a fully equipped stainless-steel kitchen, dining area, and comfortable living room with a 50-inch Smart TV.

The home has been thoughtfully updated with waterproof faux-wood vinyl flooring, shutter-style window blinds, porcelain and tile bathrooms, ceiling fans, Wi-Fi, and Smart TVs in the living room and bedrooms.

The kitchen includes a full-size refrigerator, stove, oven, dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker, cookware, dishes, and utensils, making meal preparation easy during your stay. We also provide coffee, tea, and basic kitchen and bath essentials to help you settle in without an immediate grocery run.

Each of the 2 bedrooms features a cloud-like memory foam mattress dressed with crisp white linens, fluffy pillows, comforter, and duvet. The bathroom includes a full-size tub and shower combination, perfect for refreshing after a day exploring the Ancient City.

Outside, enjoy the expansive fenced yard with plenty of comfortable seating, lounge chairs, rocking chairs, umbrella tables, and shaded areas for relaxing. A brand-new dual-fuel BBQ grill is also available for guest use.

The cottage is part of a small five-home vacation rental community. The cottages share parking and outdoor common areas, but each home is private with its own entrance and porch overlooking Osceola Street. This setup is also ideal for larger family gatherings or groups who may wish to reserve multiple cottages.
