Beautiful Home - 45 second Bike Ride from the Beach!!
Reviewed on 2025-02-20 by , Longmont, CO United StatesPROS:
*This house has the most PERFECT location. You can walk to Rosemary and the Beach, or bike there. We timed biking "home" and it was only 45 seconds from the beach! No ocean views in the home, but you're very close.
*Beds were quite comfortable and the upstairs living area/kitchen was gorgeous and spacious. Lots of room to "live."
*Four Bikes were great and seemed brand new! Easy to use and lock-up!
*We were given 4 trash bags and 8 dishwasher pods and laundry soap, which was amazing and kind. Some units we've stayed in gave us ONE trash bag, but then required daily trash to be taken out, or ONE dishwasher pod, but how could we do dishes then? Having paper-towels, toilet paper, and these basic amenities were awesome!
*Ambient music was playing when we walked in and it set the mood. :)
CONS: (None that would make me not stay here).
*TV Remote was super hard to use even just to find apps or your normal TV, would have loved an instructional note.
*Front, Left Stove Top Burner didn't lite.
*Garage parking was very tiny, so larger vehicles (larger than a Jeep Grand Cherokee) will have to use the one parking pass for street parking.
*Bedrooms are small and the Bunk Room is TINY. Bathroom in Bunk room was almost too small for an adult to shower in. Our young, but tall teenage made due, but it was less than comfortable.
*Laundry Room was also quite tiny and on the non-living space floor upstairs. The doors were on backwards so it's a "chore" to do laundry, but the machines worked well and are clean.
*Pool was heated, but only to 87 degrees. It would have been unusable in February temps without that. Glad we paid for it, but wish it could have been heated warmer!

We truly appreciate your feedback. We’ll take a look at the TV remote and consider adding an instructional guide for easier navigation. The stove burner will also be checked to ensure it’s working properly. While the garage space is limited, we hope the included parking pass provided a convenient alternative for larger vehicles.
Regarding the laundry room layout and pool heating, we understand your concerns. While these features cannot be adjusted at this time, we appreciate you sharing your perspective so future guests have a clear expectation. We're thrilled that these details didn’t take away from your overall experience, and we’d love to welcome you back for another great stay!

Abaco Pearl Cottage - August stay
Reviewed on 2021-08-09 by , Saint Louis, MO United StatesA few minor issues that could be fixed:
1) The dishwasher is a bit rickety, probably from continued use -- wouldn't be a bad idea to get a new one.
2) Probably could do with some new pans in the kitchen, the current ones are not in the best shape
3) The gas grill outside would not light properly. I have a lot of experience with these grills and couldn't get it to work. I didn't bother calling the management company because I just pan-fried steaks in the kitchen. But the grill itself may need replacing.

Comfortable, well stocked home.
Reviewed on 2020-08-17 by Heather J. , Saint Francisville, LA United StatesThere is a very musty odor downstairs. Couldn’t ever locate the source.
The home was comfortable for us. (6ppl) Couldn’t ask for better location. The kitchen was well appointed and better than any others we’ve stayed in the same area. Pest control is definitely needed regularly. Also, parking could be a major issue for someone with a large suburban or SUV. It will not fit but we know this so always travel to the area in my car. Please have new mattresses purchased for the house. I literally went straight to my physical therapist when I got home. My back was in terrible shape after a week of sleeping on the bed.

A Favorite!
Reviewed on 2020-07-05 by Nicole B. , Monroe, LA United StatesWe love the layout of the rooms, the open concept living upstairs, and the beautiful decor. Our children loved swimming while we grilled dinner next to the private pool, often with a glass of wine. The balconies were perfect for reading, visiting, and relaxing. Beds were super comfortable, kitchen was well equipped (we made use of the blender and steamer daily), and the laundry room was a great bonus with commercial grade washer and dryer. Bikes were used daily as well. Thank you for providing us with such a beautiful and generously equipped property. We look forward to our return.

The Panhandle
Reviewed on 2020-02-28 by Paul J. , Crownsville, MD UnknownThe house itself was amazing, located close to the beach and within short walks to pools, shops, and restaurants. It was beautifully designed and furnished. The upstairs was one large, open and light filled space for the living and dining areas and a kitchen with huge counter space and a separate enclosed space for a washer & dryer. We spent most of our time there. The bedrooms on the lower level had beautiful duvets and linens. There was lots of closet space and TVs in every bedroom. Each bedroom (3) had its own lovely bathroom.
The beaches along this stretch of Florida are truly memorable for their calm aquamarine water and fine white sand that squeaks like cornstarch when you walk on it. Those days when it was a little too cool for the beach, we enjoyed the heated indoor pool or the heated outdoor pool that were quick walks away.
This was one of the most beautiful homes and beaches that we have visited in all of our travels and we will definitely return in the near future.

Christmas at Roger's Cottage
Reviewed on 2016-12-29 by , Nashville, TN United StatesThere is room for improvement. The bed pillows were pretty worn. I'd definitely bring my own, if you are a picky sleeper. There are down pillows in the living room and the dust and dust mites from them are everywhere. We actually had to vacuum the chairs so my daughter, who is allergic to down, could stay in the room with us. (This was after she took Claritin and a sudafed.) I'd advise the owners to get more allergy friendly pillow accessories. The cleaning company should probably wash or vacuum the slip covered furniture as part of the cleaning process.
Overall I am giving the stay a 4. The house has some nice amenities and is very conveniently located within the community an very close to beach access.
Excellent Stay
Reviewed on 2016-09-27 by Ed W. , Alpharetta, GA United StatesThe Good:
Great home for a small family or two couples. Very clean, pet friendly, and all amenities in good working order. Loved the Harmony remote, Samsung TV /Apple TV video/Sonos audio system. The home has a lot of windows and light on the upper main level, nice kitchen (w/ pretty granite) and the open floor plan feels very spacious. Loved the front and back decks. The small pool was nice and the heater works quickly.
The Not So Good:
There is no pantry, so we had to make the large cabinet near the kitchen that is used for games, videos & misc. our pantry. Once we cleared off the middle shelve it was adequate as a make-shift pantry. There were no instruction for how to operate the video/audio system, so I had to spend about an hour fixing the system since previous renters had "jacked it up" pretty good trying to figure it out. I have the same system, and it's not easy to understand, so I would highly recommend printing instructions on the operation. The slip covers on the furniture need cleaning or replacing and the living room could stand an extra lamp or two for more light at night. There are no hooks for towels or bathing suits in the bathrooms, so that was nuisance. The management company should consider changing bike rental companies. We had our bikes swapped out twice due to most of them being in very poor shape (broken brake on one, rusty chains on all, low air in tires, etc.)

Abaco Pearl Cottage is our new favorite rental by far. The rooms are perfectly located on the first floor, which makes suitcases a breeze. The kitchen had a little bit of a musty smell but it wasn't a big deal.
The multiple patios, pool, and location of the beach were perfect. My son loved the park that was a stone's throw away and the green space that adorned the front lawn. We had the pool heated every day and it was something that elevated the experience in the cool winter days and nights.
There are very few negatives that I can think of. The kitchen smell and lack of outlets are one. Also, the carriage entrance is accessed by walking through your exclusive pool area, so, that was a little odd. Lastly, if the owners could consider installing blinds on the french doors to the pool for privacy. Some people were checking into the carriage house and we felt violated when they looked right at us in our pajamas in the hallway outside of the bedrooms. Easy fix, but there needs to be some sort of privacy drape or blind on those doors.
We can not wait to stay here again with family and rent the carriage house along with it. It is truly idyllic and well laid out.
