Great cottage! Great host! Great family holiday!

This was the perfect spot for my family to getaway relax and enjoy Port Frank. Love that is was dog friendly. It was spacious clean and had everything we needed. Bonus hot tub and drinks on the Lania. The hosts answered any questions we had in a quick manner. Easy to to get to local attractions. We made many memories and my children got an education on Betty White and the Golden girls. Would recommend this place for sure and would definitely stay here again.

A perfect weekend getaway

We enjoyed a wonderful weekend at Hey Betty Inn. Jeff was always available for any questions we had. We were actually able to check in early and begin the fun! The location is great for families. We walked to the beach, played games in the yard and enjoyed the fire pit at night. Definitely will return! Thanks so much for hosting our family get together

Wonderful Memories made at Hey Betty!

The appearance of this cottage exceeded our expectations and the layout allowed for privacy for me and my family in various areas throughout the cottage. A gorgeous spacious lanai as well as a couple comfortable sitting areas and a nice open concept kitchen. This is a perfect space for re connecting with friends and family. It was a short ride to the Private beach which is beautiful and not at all busy. I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a getaway at any time of year.

The perfect beach home

I went to visit Port Franks with friends and we found this idyllic home near the beach. The decoration was welcoming and in every corner there was an easter egg that showed personality and whimsy. This place is truly a home away from home and even though the weather was not the best this place made the trip worthwhile with all their games, amenities, and features. Callandra, Jeff, and Betty have made a place that you will leave with a smile and will want to remodel your own home to recreate such a delightful environment. Will definitely come back!

I really hate to give an amazing review because then this gem will become too popular and I won't be able to book it again! The VRBO ad does not do it justice. It's a beautiful, clean, bright, inviting space with very thoughtful touches throughout. Highly don't recommend!!!!! lol

What a great property. A surprise around every corner. We had a great time and felt so comfortable from the moment we stepped in the door. One of our favourites was the blanket wall; such a neat idea for a winter stay. Thank you for your hospitality and going the extra mile to make it a memorable vacation.

Every detail thought of!

This rental is wonderful. The owners have seriously thought of everything. The decor is absolutely adorable. The house is clean and nicely laid out. We went in the winter so didn’t fully get to enjoy the lanai and backyard so we decided to return for a week in the summer! The margarita machine is such a cool touch. You will not be disappointed if you rent here! Thanks Jeff and Cassandra! ☺️
