Annual vacation for family of 6- 4 small kids
The house was so cute and very clean. Had everything we needed. I was very thankful for laundry soap and other necessities that were provided. We experienced a delay at check-in but the issue was addressed quickly and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Would definitely stay at this property again!

PERFECT!!!!
Do yourself a favor and stay here! I love this little house so much I would live here! It is SO cozy, SUPER clean, and the decor is just the icing on the cake. The kitchen had everything we needed to make multiple meals and the beds were super comfortable... oh and the air conditioner worked great! That is a huge deal in the heat and humidity. :) Me, my sister and aunt all agreed we will be coming back next summer, but this time extending our stay! We really didn't want to leave. THANK YOU to our hosts for having a home that IS exactly as described!

Clean and welcoming
The house was very clean and comfortable for our family of 5. The pictures of the home are accurate. We brought an air mattress for our youngest. It is close enough to walk to the beach, but it would be too far if you have little ones. The shower is ok (claw foot tubs are terrible for showers), the bathroom sink is tiny for getting ready, and a hose outside to wash sand off would be nice. We would definitely stay here again.

Awesome visit to the island!
The cortage was clean and comfortable. As an antique dealer/decorator, I appreciated the decor and mix of old and new. The kitchen and laundry supplies and comfortable beds were also very much appreciated. Three blocks to the beach and having a house to ourselves and 3 teens made our 16 hr drive so worth it. Life is too short to stay in a small, cramped and generically decorated hotel room! Thank you Cy and Michael for your hospitality!

Lovely property
This home is exceptionally well maintained & includes everything needed for a carefree stay. Conveniently located to the beach, the Strand & restaurants. Accommodated 4 adults comfortably. Just be aware that driveway belongs to neighboring house so adequate parking is on the street.
