LIVING ROOM:
Bright and airy with relaxing coastal vibes. Enjoy your morning coffee in our lovely living room with streaming services on the Smart TV. There’s two rustic barn doors which lead to the bedrooms and walkway to the adorable open plan kitchen/dining area.
KITCHEN:
Again bright and airy is the theme throughout, this cute as a button kitchen has everything you need to whip up great meals. The vintage style fridge and checkerboard floors create the perfect cottage vibe. The corner dining area is welcoming and cute with plenty of seating to eat your meals. A lockable pocket door leads you to an adorable spacious bathroom.
BATHROOM:
Our spacious bathroom is bright and clean, with black and white flooring and a coral shiplap wall… just super cute and inviting. There’s a large white bathtub with a shower above. There’s toiletries, a blow dryer, and plenty of towels for your stay.
TWIN BEDROOM:
Oh man is this room cute! Two twin beds with a nightstand. A full dresser for your clothes and a small Smart TV for streaming your favorite apps. There’s a sliding barn door and cute tapestries on the walls. Lush and inviting for sure!
QUEEN BEDROOM:
Bright and airy, super inviting, this room has a comfortable queen bed, and a lockable door to the bathroom. There’s an antique chest of drawers for your clothing and a small SMART TV to stream your favorite apps. A rustic sliding barn door to the living room, completes the space.
LAUNDRY ROOM:
There’s a laundry room located right outside the back door, down a few stairs to the left. You can tap the light fixture above the machines to turn it on. There is a washer and dryer for you to use if needed.
THE QUIRKS:
This home is over 100 years old. The walls aren’t square, the original floors squeak, and the storage is minimal. I recommend unpacking your items and storing your suitcases under the beds.
While the barn doors to the bedrooms slide open and closed perfectly… there are gaps either side due to the walls not being perfectly straight anymore. If you are the type of person that needs to feel locked into a bedroom, this won’t be the home for you.
The windows are older and a couple don’t lock with locking mechanism on the window. They are secured shut with aftermarket locks. Please don’t open these. The air conditioning and fans work great throughout the house, so to avoid bugs getting in… please keep windows and doors closed.
This home has charm that you feel the moment you walk in. It’s inviting, comfortable, and styled for a warm and welcoming stay. We can’t wait to host you! ?

Notes
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT:
Florida is hot and humid and is home to multiple critters. You could encounter lizards, cicadas, beetles,mosquitos, or many other critters during your stay in any Florida home. Our property is regularly treated by pest control technicians. We recommend keeping doors and windows closed to prevent insect-intruders. Personally, I hate bugs, so have put many precautions in place to try to avoid any in my little rental cottage.
