    Perfect for our family of five. The three kids (6,11,15) loved it. The proximity and ease to get to the beach were a big plus. Fully stocked with dishes and cookware. We utilized the gas grill, oven, microwave, fridge and coffee maker. The beach chairs and umbrella came in handy as well! Quiet road and neighborhood. Located in a prime spot for walking just about anywhere we needed to get! We will definitely be staying here next time we visit.

    The stay and cottage was great! The only thing is there is no outdoor lights and on arrival or coming back after dinner it was very dark. We could hear something walking around but could not see. We felt unsafe. Light switches need to be labeled. The TV kept losing connection and the only way to remedy it was to unplug the TV and wait to plug it back in. The internet connection was fine the tv kept dropping the connection.

    What an adorable bungalow! Perfect location for our couple’s getaway. We did have one mishap when we locked ourselves out when we went out to have coffee on the porch. Beware, the front door automatically locks behind you! Took a walk on the beach until the rental office opened and they came right away with a spare key. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely come again.

    Great access to beach, and wonderful location on the island. Central to everything. Having pool access was a plus. Management was very responsive to needs. We will definitely be back!

    Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great experience overall. Close to beach, clean, well maintained mid-century cottage. Bring your own cookware, not much there and it is pretty worn out. Also, there is no table for eating, so prepare accordingly for young children.

    Great location, minutes from the beach, everything you need within a short walk. 5 minutes to the market, 15 minutes to pier, restaurants and shops.

    While my trip did not end so well, the stay itself was wonderful! The cottage was so clean, comfy, and cute. It was stocked with the basic essentials incase we didn’t have our own. The Host was so communicative and helpful before, during, and even after my stay. I would definitely recommend staying here and I personally would stay here again!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I really loved my stay here. The bed was very comfortable and it had mostly what i needed for a short stay. A few items olive oil spray and coffee creamer and tea would be a welcome touch. A few extra scrubbers for pan sticks as well since there is not a dishwasher.

    Great cottage, but it could use some warmth. Some rugs and artwork would do a lot. Also, the backyard could use some trimming.

    Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Cottage is in a convenient location that was pleasantly quiet even on a holiday weekend. It is, however, in need of TLC. It's ready for a coat of paint, a bit of scrubbing here and there, but most importantly for this septuagenarian, furniture and mattress that not only look good but that are comfortable. Fortunately, I had an extra beach chair that I used to sit in while I was there and spent some time with family who were staying a few blocks away. As to the last question in the survey about recommending it to a friend, there is no option for anything other than a Yes or No answer, when the answer actually is it depends. I'm sure that young people who are seldom in the Cottage and are a bit messy themselves would find it great. It really does have everything you need (thought skimpy on toilet tissue & shampoo).

You must drive to restaurants. Very quiet location, away from stores, hotels and noise.

    Very quaint cottage, very cute inside, outside of property wasn’t really taken care of garage. Cottage was a little rundown, the only thing bad I would say about the cottage is the kitchen window needs a blind or curtain didn’t work on the remote so it was a very loud on. But the location is great very close to the beach and the inside of the cottage was decorated very cute and more updated..

    This little cottage is so cute and idyllic. It's perfectly appointed with great living spaces and bedrooms for a small family. Everything is charming and has many of the quaint details of a vintage cottage but with essential updates like a cold AC, clean refrigerator, ceiling fans, working light fixtures with nice lighting, and comfortable beds. The screen porch and the outside patio are so adorable and we really enjoyed time in each of these spaces. We also loved the outdoor shower. It was not gross and it was private enough to use each day. The close proximity to the beach was great and we brought our bikes, so being located in the mid-beach area we were easily able to bike the whole island. Our only suggestion would be to have proper bedding on all of the beds. Only one of the beds included sheets and a blanket, all of them had sheets, and one didn't have a mattress pad. We will definitely come back and bring bedding along with us, which is what we suggest to anyone renting this sweet little cottage!

    This little cottage was the perfect mix of price and location. There are closer more expensive places, and there are further less expensive places. But this property was affordable with an easy 3-minute walk from door to sand. Public Beach access #10 is in the middle of the island and never crowded (in late July). We didn't use the pool at the Palms, but it would've been an even shorter walk. The local grocery (IGA) is just a 5 minute walk, but expect a 20+ minute walk (or short drive) north or south for restaurants and shopping. Our kids (13 and 11) each had a twin bed (didn't use the 3rd trundle), and my wife and I shared the comfy king. Shirley Road is quiet and private so the outdoor shower worked for rinsing off sand after a day at the beach, but also as a regular shower when needed.
