Summary: Loved the location, walking distance to beach and even grocery store and outlet mall! I enjoyed biking from the cottage. Bike lanes and bike paths to Port Washington State Park along with off road Singletrack trails in the park. We were there during the January snowstorm but it was -19F at our home in Minnesota, so no problems there. The unit could use a few updates, but it worked well.

Summary: We loved the layout of the condo and the neighborhood, also enjoyed the short walk to the beach. We felt right at home. The only so called complaint was that there was a bit of a moldy smell at first in the condo. We bought a couple of candles and sprayed everything with Lysol…..also several days we were able to air out the place by opening the doors which helped. It’s not due to the owners because I know that the humidity in Florida is the cause of this. I would definitely stay there again if Lisa and Scott will allow us to do so. We are planning on moving to Florida within the year and will need a place to stay again! Thank you so much Lisa and Scott!

Summary: Everyone associated with this property is incredibly friendly! The grounds are great. The beach is a bit of a walk, but they have a very reliable shuttle. Our particular unit, doesn't appear to have been updated in quite some time but we still thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Summary: Our family had a great time staying here! The cottage was settled nicely in a beautiful location surrounded by plants and welcoming walkways to the beach or pools. They also offer a beach tram to take you to the beach if you would like. The beach was absolutely amazing, with soft white sand and clear emerald waters. It was a very relaxing vacation and we would definitely book here again.
