Amenities, the couch needs to be replaced painful to sit on, the gas grill did not work, warm water never got hot, a pancake griddle is not a 2 burner hot plate. The place was very clean and the bed was comfortable, the outside area was a plus.

Very easy check-in, great location. It was very clean and much larger than we expected! The screened porch was very nice also! The only down was that the pullout couch was not comfortable at all. But everything else exceeded our expectations!

The property was perfect for us. We visited familh over Christmas week and there is a great privacy backyard area and screened in sunroom. I had 2 dogs and it was great for them as well. There is a small beach area at the end of the block and Santa Maria Island is about 6 miles away. Great location and great food nearby

My husband and I stayed 5 nights and there is nothing bad I have to say. From the hospitality, to the location, to the prompt response of the owners was amazing. We were within 5 to 10 minutes from Cortez and coquina beach without the hustle and bustle of beach traffic and downtown. We were very impressed!!

It was fine for the three days that I stayed but I thought the neighborhood was a bit run down. It would be nice if soap was provided in the shower area. The price was reasonable.

Fully enjoyed our stay. Perfect for couples. Very clean. We brought our boat, at the end of our stay we found there is a boat launch in the neighborhood which is very convenient (you just have to call the number on the sign to use) overall we would stay again, and recommend to others.
