This was the cutest Tiny house ever! The owner was super nice and attentive. If there is anything negative to say, its the loft area is definitely made for little people. Highly recommend if you are looking for quaint and homey.

This an adorable tiny house in a neighborhood with an average amount of traffic noise. It is a quick drive to the airport. The bedding is clean and white. The downstairs bed is very comfortable (I didn’t try the upstairs beds). The pantry and fridge are stocked with affordable snacks. There is even oat creamer for the Keurig. The host is quick to respond with help to texts. The bathroom is small with a lovely shower. I used up all the hot water kind of quickly-well 10 minutes. I loved the towels, face clothes, toiletries, the white robes and sanitized slippers. The tv is difficult for me to work, but I think it was just my fault. There is a cute electric fireplace that makes me feel cozy. I could easily stay here with my family for multiple days. I feel so safe with the tall fence that locks. I enjoyed sitting out front where no one could see me (when the sun finally came out). Overall I highly recommend this property to families up to 4 (5 if auntie wants to sleep on the leather couch)

I booked this space for three nights and left after only one night. This space was cleaned with a toxic cleaning agent that was not cleared up properly with water afterwards. The floor was sticky with it. After I left, I had to wipe down my luggage to get it off. I had a reaction to the chemical and notified the owner after waking up from sleep suffocating. She came over and agreed to me leaving and to refund the remaining two days. She informed me that her previous guests had made a mess so she used too much cleaning agent. I arrived at 12:15 am and was gone by 9:30 am save day. I traveled for two days internationally and just needed some rest. This place was not restful. Expedia notified me that she refused to return the remaining two days. The cancellation policy allows me to cancel with a one night penalty, which would have been fine, but to steal a person's money, that's not fine. To lie to a customer, that's not fine.

I am really impressed with your amazing ability to create an untruthful situation. Why not simply indicate here that you found a cheaper place and wanted to cancel here to rent the next accomodation? It would be more accurate, and less deceiving. But let’s start with the most and foremost: chemicals. We use housecleaners from Costco and Publix. So not sure what exactly you wiped from your luggage. Second: what you are doing has a legal terminology, it is defamation, and it is pubishable by law. I never agreed to give you money back, and explained to you that in order to do so, I would have to have your money in the first place. We (properties) do not get paid until way after guests check out. But you demanded money (more than paid) several times, and you harrassed me all day by phone, messages in the app and on other messaging platform. Third: You demanded me to clean again, and I was ready to do so in spite of the fact that I washed your sheets prior arrival with no parabens detergent, I put a mattress cover in your bed and I opened the door as soon as I step in to talk to you, short after 5 AM. You spoke clearly and energetically, you showed zero signs of shortness of breath and moved around fast. I have myself a science background, and a lungs condition, so ai know shortness of breath sadly well. And also know that nobody with an allergic reaction to a chemical in the environment would close the door as soon as I left the place, nor would spend five more hours, doors close, in such environment. Lastly, I asked you to check out in the app so my place could be rented by someone else, as I was running a Black Friday special and knew it would rent quickly. But thanks to your lack of action in the matter, my property remained occupied by you in all the websites due to calendar sync. My cancellation policy allows refunds before check in, but that is not the point, the real deal here is that you did not do your part at checking out properly in the app. Again, I am impressed with your ability to present twisted facts at your convenience. Maybe the complimentary wine bottle we offer, strongly impacted your perception of the facts? Hope you were able to find a place after you left. Obviously you were rested enough to pursuit a response all day to your innumerable amount of messages.

The cottage was amazing! The accommodations went beyond our expectations. Our host made sure everything was just right. The cottage was beautiful and well appointed. Outdoors was a patio with a porch to relax on while listening to the water trickling in the pond. The property was secure with a privacy fence around it. We were there briefly to see family so being able to come and go at our leisure was great. If we have the opportunity to return this will be the only place we stay.

Treat yourself to a wonderful hideaway
This tiny house is beautiful inside and out. The tall fence surrounding it makes for a completely private oasis. The outdoor area includes a beautiful, calming water feature, a barbecue grill, and rocking chairs on the porch. The inside is artfully decorated and appointed. The queen bed downstairs is comfortable, there is a coffeemaker and microwave, as well as dishes, silverware, and glassware. There is a large assortment of snacks and beverages to purchase. The bathroom has everything you might need, including bathrobes to use and lots of toiletries. You’ll love the the rainfall shower head. The loft upstairs is quite low, and would be a challenge for all but the smallest adults. The two beds are comfortable, and it’s a great place for kids. We were enchanted by this space, and definitely plan to stay here again. You’ll never find anything prettier.

Florida vacation
What a wonderful place to stay! It was totally worth every penny. It was comfortable, clean, it felt like home. The owner was attentive and gracious. She kept in communication with us at all times making sure we were doing good and if we needed anything. This is great for a couple or a small family. The two beds and the space upstairs is best for small children. If you want to feel at home during vacation then this small house is your place. We would definitely return and recommend this rental.

Oh my goodness!
The Tiny Cottage is beyond absolutely wonderful! I was in awe of the ambience (even had a cozy electric fireplace) and cleanliness. The outside courtyard area is meticulous and beautiful which is where I enjoyed the best breakfast (which included bacon cooked to perfection and medley of fresh fruit) I’ve had in years. It was served with lovely tableware and and a warm and friendly hostess. I left with a big smile, relaxed and refreshed - planning my next stay!
