Very cute cottage within easy walking distance to town, the beach and the grocery store. Although this cute home is right in town it has a very secluded feeling with the wooden fenced in patio area. We loved everything about this home and would highly recommend!

This is an adorable, quaint little cottage very close to the beach and the downtown Frankfort area. It is small, but very clean and very nicely decorated. The beds were comfortable and it was very warm and welcoming. We loved the closeness to everything! We did drive down to the beach and to town but could have walked if we really wanted to. The only downside is that there are no air-conditioning units anywhere in the cottage. They have fans in most windows and that helps to keep it tolerable but when the humidity is high and it’s hot outside, it’s very difficult to keep it comfortable. Erin, the host, was very helpful and quick to answer questions etc. I would definitely come back but would consider the summer heat and humidity at the time of my visit.

Something for everyone!

We loved the coziness of the house and its close proximity to fun! Our teens enjoyed scootering to the skate park and downtown. The walk to the water and restaurants was perfect (especially the farmers market on Sat.) Everything was really comfortable and enjoyable. I would definitely consider this rental in the future. 😀
