    Only downside, having to get to the other bedroom through the first bedroom or going outside to enter second bedroom. King bed was not comfortable. Too hard for me and had a hump in the middle. Okay if you like a firm mattress.

    Very responsive host. The cottage was roomy and comfortable and had everything you needed to cook. The bikes were nice and an added bonus. Beach was a couple of hundred yards. Nice neighborhood. We would stay here again.

    The house was very clean and almost perfect for our needs. The beds were comfortable and the showers were good. There is a beautiful private beach included just a short walk away and all of the beach paraphernalia that you could need. There were a few idiosyncrasies to this house. The biggest is the bedroom situation. For the second bedroom you must go through the first bedroom or go outside. It is definitely inconvenient. Extending the lanai to the outside door would make this so much better.The second is the laundry situation. There are two washers and dryers which is great, but they only take quarters - there is no app to pay online like we have used at other places where they charge for laundry. The washer takes 3.00 and the dryer takes 2.00 all in quarters. There was no mention of this in any of the communication, so we had to wait until the next morning to go to the bank and get quarters.Third and the biggest reason I only gave four stars is the toilet paper situation. The communication did say to bring extra toilet paper because only one roll would be provided in each bathroom. We were only staying two nights so we figured we would be fine. However, there were only partial rolls in the bathrooms so we had to make a second trip to the grocery store for more toilet paper. Toilet paper is a cheap and easy amenity.With all of that, we would still gladly stay here again. We would just be more prepared and hope the hosts will add some of these items to their messaging.

    5 minute walk to the beach, everything you needed at the property. Close to near by restaurants and attractions.

    This cottage was clean, convenient and comfortable for all of us! We loved being able to walk to the beach without driving and we also enjoyed the grill!

    Very clean, nicely decorated, roomy, comfortable bed and pillows, basic necessities, beach towels, beach chairs and collapsible beach wagon. Great location to Bowman’s Beach and the best shelling beaches. Would stay with them again.

    We were unable to use our rental because it suffered damage from the most recent hurricane. I reached out to the host, Breakaway Vacation properties, not to request a refund, but to ask for a credit to use at the same property once it was repaired: I was told that the rental company does not issue any credit based on the contract. We are now out over 1000.00 We were unable to take our vacation , and lost a lot of money. I understand that Sanibel island was devastated by the storm.. I was not expecting g s refund.. just little curtesy . I will book at hotels from now on where I k ow a refund is guaranteed due to severe weather events. I will never book through VRBO again .

    No property to stay at due to storm damage. Would not change date of reservation in any way. Kept our money without providing lodging.
