Peaceful residential area and close to everything. Good size 2/1 home with comfortable bed and good size yard for the fur babies. Liked the fact there was a carport available. One item to note…there is no TV but the internet is strong and reliable. It is noted in the description that a TV is not included but I personally missed this fact.

Drift away in Bayfront 2-bedroom Turquoise cottage

EmmeryRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Leah was very communicable with me. If I messaged her, she was very quick to respond. The house was stocked with EVERYTHING we needed. I will say for future stays to just bring some mosquito spray with you- it’s by the water so it’s to be expected. The cleanliness of this place makes it look like a show home- you can’t tell anyone has stayed there it is THAT CLEAN. The view, openness of the home is beautiful. Access to the home is very easy to get in and out. Plenty of restaurants near by, even within a mild walking distance. My family felt right at home staying here. We will most definitely be planning to come back in the future. Loved our stay so much I was sad to leave it.

Cassie's Cove is a perfect multi family getaway

ShaeRating, 5 stars3 months ago

This was the perfect spot for our four-family getaway! Lots of room for people to crash. The place wasn’t super fancy or pristine, but it was clean and we have to remember. We’re at the beach, so it was perfect. The washing machine was out on one side, but we were able to use it on the other side. The biggest bummer was that on the first day we were crossing over the dunes to the beach, the kids came upon a rattlesnake so from then on, we had to drive around. So note to self, just be aware! Overall, we had a great time! Patricia is a great host!!
