Fantastic!

We had such a great time at this property with our family of four. We had a large group of families staying in this neighborhood and we had a wonderful time. Clean and convenient, this house had everything we needed. The owner was also responsive any time we had questions. Highly recommended and will stay again if we are back in the area!

Lovely stay

Had a great time for our long weekend! Wouldn’t hesitate to stay again. The beach and a couple restaurants were a short walk away. A couple coolers and a wagon were already at the house, which made it much easier to get all our stuff to the beach!

Amazing home

We absolutely love staying here. We were a group of 7 and there was more than enough space for everyone. The house was very clean and very easy to reach the host. The short walk to the beach was also a plus and the buggy/beach chair was a nice bonus. Would recommend this cottage to everyone.

Emerald Shores property was beautiful. The pools are very nice and having one heated pool was especially nice. The private beach and beach service was fantastic. We really appreciated having beach service included with our stay at Stowaway Cottage! The home was nice, beds comfortable, and the kitchen was well equipped. Overall it was a great stay!
