    Lisbeth and Adam were just the friendliest hosts that we've ever experienced! Everything we needed we had or asked for and gotten. They even left snacks, breakfast foods and drinks to start us off! Home is very cozy although small. But adequate for me and hubby! We stayed for a week and just mostly relaxed! Just to mention there are steps to get into the home. Both pictures were taken from the deck.at the house. Best places for dinner were the Dockside Seafood and Grill restaurant and Jalapeño Heaven. We also did the Thimble Island Tour..it was beautiful!! We swam in the pool 2 days and used the swings....AWESOME TRIP!! Would definitely go there again!!

    My boyfriend and I had been looking for a peaceful place to stay for a few days with beautiful scenery and good food. This definitely fit the bill! It exceeded our expectations and then some.It was the most relaxing and peaceful vacation I have ever been on. Adam and Lizbeth tended to all of our needs, whether it was recommending places to eat or checking in to see if we needed anything. The cottage had everything we needed and even included some snacks and drinks which were greatly appreciated. They really thought of everything.The property is absolutely beautiful. The private beach and pool were a mini paradise! You will love your stay here.

    Such a cute place in a perfect location. Would love to visit again in warmer months to be able to use all the amenities. Check-in/out processes were very easy. Even though we didn’t physically meet the hosts, they communicated quickly. The snacks were a bonus!!

    We stayed here for an anniversary weekend away and found the property and neighborhood to be amazing. We enjoyed the hot tub, pool and firepit and went kayaking in the afternoon. Enjoyed amazing sunsets from the deck; Adam gave us spot-on restaurant recommendations. I don't know if the supply of snacks is standard or an anniversary special, but all in all this place was a wonderful find. Thank you!!

    Our stay was incredible! The property was gorgeous- even with the home owners on property we barely saw them. We had full, private access to the backyard space- beach, pool, hot tub, fire pit, etc- all to ourselves. The property was clean and inviting and we will definitely go back. Everyone was so friendly and the area is picturesque.
