Great place!
We really enjoyed our stay! It was clean, had everything we needed. The beds were comfy as was the couch for relaxing. The backyard was an oasis and a great place for evening cocktails.

Worst Nightmare Ever
I can never possibly explain the worst nightmare that happened upon arrival for my 40th! This place was NOT cleaned prior to arrival, bug infested everywhere! My poor dog got bite by a spider recluse in the right eye an hour after arrival. $$$ later getting him better and still no response from Vrbo. I can’t post pictures of the incidents! How is it fair. Cockroach’s/waterbugs in the light of ceiling fan in main bedroom. Bugs alive in bed just absolutely disgusting and the contact was useless! Can’t trust this place. Don’t take your pets if you actually choose this place and I highly recommend against renting here!

Cozy Cottage
The property was as described in the listing. The home was cozy and perfect for our needs. Easy access to the Island and to get to the road back to Brownsville. Backyard was really neat! Due to the recent rains the mosquitos made it hard to enjoy it too much, but that was everywhere and not an owner issue. Owner had wonderful communication prior to arriving which I appreciated. We would stay again!

A great place to stay
We enjoyed everything about this place. A nicely decorated home with all of the necessities. My kids really enjoyed the backyard with all of the foliage. It is very convenient to local restaurants, the fishing pier, and the bridge to the island. If we ever return to the area, we will stay here again.

He is amazing and our stay was a blast!! Thank you so much for sharing your little cottage with us! It is most def a home away from home!!! Will stay here again in the future!

Quaint Little Bungalow
The cottage was surrounded by its own little tropical oasis, that made feel it very private & secluded. The home provided a comfortable setting for our stay, and we enjoyed the central location for birding the hotspots on SPI & the mainland.

Great Spot
We really liked this place, the house itself is great. It could use a few standard things like a sponge/scrubber, a hair dryer, some coffee to go with the keurig is usually pretty standard too. But it’s a very cute house and I absolutely love the jungle vibes and all the plants. That said, as others have mentioned, the fees for this place are absolutely insane. The nightly price is nowhere near what is listed because the fees are so incredibly high. Our fees ended up being 40% of the total cost. We spent way way more than we wanted to in the end and I don’t think I would book again because the fees are just wild.
