Great, cozy cottage
The cottage had plenty of space for a group of friends on a weekend getaway. It was clean and cute. The location was in close to the heart of downtown Port Austin. The hosts couldn’t have been more helpful!

Great place to stay
The coastal cottage is very spacious. All the beds were very comfortable. You can probably tell from the pictures but the appliances are modern as are most of the things you find in the cottage. The location is great! We were able to walk to the beach, restaurants and shops.

Super cute and cozy cottage
Great location on a quiet street, within walking distance of almost everything. We stayed the weekend for a family wedding and it slept 9 of us comfortably and was a great lay out for all of us. Super cute decor, and extremely clean. We also loved how convenient the key pad access was. We would definitely rent again.
