This cottage is adorable. It’s obvious the owners have put a lot of effort into updating it. The appliances are rather old but still in perfect working order. We appreciated the quietness of the free standing unit. It’s a very short walk to the beach - actually shorter than the walk from many gulf front condos in East GS. The only thing I missed was the ability to watch the waves while I was having my coffee. This unit is directly across from the pool (zero noise issues) which means there are palm trees & a wall directly across from the parking spots - luckily we were in a car, but a friend joined us one night & she was in a Tahoe - she had a difficult time getting out of the space. I seriously doubt a suburban/XL vehicle would be able to manage the spaces - no fault of the owners. Just be aware! Also. remember there is only 1 bathroom - this might create an issue for 2 couples or even 4 adults. The only suggestion I have for the owner is to replace the patio furniture - that salty air is brutal on metal furniture. As such, we bought cheap dish drying mats at dollar tree to use as chair pads so we didn’t end up with rust stains on our clothes. All in all, great little cottage & we wouldn’t hesitate to stay again!
