Great spot on the water
The cabins are private and spacious. They are from the 1940's and upgrades are in progress which is understandable and added to the quaintness. The grounds were great. Hosts were responsive and proactive. The instructions were complete and self-explanatory. We would stay again!

Ruined 45th. Wedding Anniversary
This property was not even close to the pictures. I was so disappointed in the overall cleanliness and upkeep of this particular cottage. It should be listed as more suitable for a fishing trip. I didn’t expect bugs, mouse poop, windows that don’t open or close, ac units that have gaps big enough to let in mice, peeling paint and a nonexistent view. The smell of mold and mildew was awful. I immediately left and had to pay stay somewhere else. I will never recommend this place to anyone. I have never had this experience before from VRbo.

Peaceful getaway
we enjoyed our stay in this cottage. Host was quick to respond to our questions. loved the screened in porch and the access to an ice machine, games and toys close by if we needed them. . loved having a kitchen to cook if we wanted and it was nice and clean when we got there. location is close to the beaches. would stay again if we are down in that area.

The worst and shortest vacation
Property extremely old, with humidity, bronw spots on ceiling of second room. Smell of mold made it impossible to stay.
The owner didn't want to do anything. We stayed for one hour and had to leave. I wouldn't recommend to anyone. Very upsetting.

Old School Florida...
It was just what I was looking for. A taste of "Old Florida". Nice area, with a water view. The cabins were rustic with a lot of local history on a quiet dead end road. It was easy to meet and socialize with the folks in the other cabins, in the screened in porches, and fishing pier. Docking space is available for your own boat..
Add to that Kim and Robert are super folks with great attitudes.
So Yes, we would look forward to staying there again.
