    The location is excellent - right at the center of everything and steps from the beach. It was a little loud at night with a band playing at the bar next door, but that wasn’t a big deal. The cottage wasn’t fancy, but it was nicely appointed, had everything we needed and was very clean. The instructions for accessing the property were good but could use a little detail such as the name of the cottage complex (Shangri-La) and the number of the actual cottage were were renting. Parking is a couple streets away, so you need to unload your car at the entrance to the cottages, then park and walk back. Not too far, but it would be nice if that were specified in the instructions since it was a little confusing. Overall, it was a nice property and I would recommend it.

    Convenient, close to many attractions. This cute little, clean cottage was just what we needed after a long day of work in the area - much better than a hotel!

    Memorable quaint accommodations in the heart of Sylvan Beach. Steps away from the beach, restaurants and plenty of local fun including the amusement park, movies + concerts in the park, and waterway. Seamless check in and very responsive host - highly recommend!

    This is a small house. Great for a small family. Great location; steps from the beach. Bunk bed needs replacing. Bottom bed squeaks every time you turn. Hard for others to sleep.

    We have stayed at this location for the past two years now and we love it to much! Right in the beach, walking distance to everything you would need, amusement park down the street. Cleanliness in the place was great! Super cute and would recommend for any smaller family to stay!!
