Charming, beautifully restored cottage in a great location, perfect walking distance for all of the quaint downtown shops and restaurants. The house was spotless, the decor welcoming. Only a short drive to the beautiful beaches of St. George Island. Nice size for a couple or small family with sofa bed. Thank you for making our stay awesome!

Good communication with the host. Amenities said soap was available, but it's a small bottle of hand soap, so, if staying here best to bring your own shampoo and body wash. The tub drain was slow-draining. This was reported to the host before leaving. The cottage was very comfortable and clean. All appliances worked well. Easy walking distance to town. Overall, a pleasant stay. Easy parking on the street.
