The Joy cottage
It’s everything a cottage is supposed to be , enjoyed the stay would go there again and will recommend it to my friends and family. The fishing was great with the exception of the lighting it needs more lighting Joy have your maintenance guy install a few more lights and you will be set . Also correct your listing because it stays a 20 foot pier when it’s every bit of 200 foot . That alone will get you more customers. Over all expect me and my group to return soon . Love you guys keep up the good work 🎣. Joe

Beachfront
The house needs to be cleaned better and the furniture is uncomfortable also some updates would really help this property. Overall it’s not a bad place to stay for a single guy but I would not take a lady friend to this house for a weekend getaway. Also the grass burrs in the yard are a problem.

Joys Beach Cottage is a cute little place to stay. It was close to restaurants, shopping and the beach. My daughter and husband were able to fish on the pier, and most everything we needed such as dishes, cookware, utensils, etc.. were provided. Both the owner and the rental agency were quick to answer any questions and took care of any concerns promptly.

Do not stay here - overpriced and uncomfortable
This property is not as advertised. There is absolutely no WIFI. One of the beds has a huge lump in it. The other beds are saggy and the linens are pilled and old-looking. The bathroom is tiny. The kitchen does not have anything but dishes and rusty/dirty pots and pans. The chairs outside for sitting on the uncovered porch are dirty and broken. The whole place is outdated, not clean, and uncomfortable. The windows have plastic and cardboard in them and windows are very dirty. And did we mention there's no wifi? We rented this place because we had to work while away and the wifi network did not even show up as an option. We would never stay here again or recommend it to friends.

Great location, beautiful views
This property was perfect for those looking for quiet views of the water and access to a fishing pier. The check in process was so easy and the property is very clean. The home is an older home so the kitchen layout was a little different and cozy. As long as you don’t plan to cook big meals, you will have all the space you will need. The bathroom is very small and we found we had to leave the door open to use the sink comfortably. The bed was comfortable and there were TVs in the main room and bedroom. The wifi did not work while we were there but management was willing to come and fix it quickly.

Charming little cottage
The cottage on the waterfront was just right for a cozy getaway. It was equipped with everything we needed. The neighborhood is quiet. The cottage was very clean. The pier across the way was delightful. We sat out and watched the mullet jump and so many birds fly by. I would recommend it for a laid back vacation.

ATTACK!!!
Cottage was great. Has everything you need and some stuff you want...like the pier (that was absolutely King Kong!). Cleanliness was NO issue (had seen that in a review). Grills would be useful as well unless you’re some kind of germaphobe (fire kills all germs). Would stay there again. ATTACK!!! Krunch K
