Visit with family at AFB

We are in our way home to Mich, after 3 months in Florida. Stopped to visit family at AFB. Love the cottage. Short walk to beach. We will return. It was clean, had everything needed for a stay.

St. Andrews Cottage

This cottage was the perfect place to stay for a quick visit with family. It is very cozy and comfortable, furnished with anything you might need. The location is fabulous, near the beach with great walks in both directions. Hosts are helpful and friendly. I’d love to go back in the future!

WOW

We were in town to visit a friend. Didn’t mean to fall in love with this area. Bring your bikes, walking shoes. Don’t miss the sunset. Paula and Allan are super hosts. The cottage was clean and cozy. Bed and pillows (!) were super comfy. Kitchen well equipped—coffee! There was a pool available for the 90+ day. Don’t miss out on a trip to Shell Island (Allan has a pontoon!)

Great location!

This is a super cute cottage in a wonderful location. The bay is right around the corner and downtown St. Andrews is within walking distance, where you will find restaurants, bars, and shops. The beach is a short drive away. The hosts were wonderful and easy to communicate with. The cottage had everything we need. The owners do offer additional services at an additional charge such as dog walking and boat tours. Those are great additions and options for guests! We had to leave a night early due to unforseen circumstances, but we hope to return and book this cottage again.

We came during Mardis Gras festivities. Location was perfect, everything was close and walkable. Cottage is in a great neighborhood, beach just down street. We had our dog with us and dog park was close as well. Great stay!

What a cute cottage and a great location!

The cottage is very comfortable and relaxing. At the end of the block there is a beach with swings- which make the best place to enjoy your morning coffee! A perfect place

Vacation

Sweet little cottage Paula. We didn’t tell you but our son and all our grandchildren were also there in PC staying at Pier Park. We spent most of our time visiting with them. They live in Ga. so we don’t get to see them very often. You and your husband were so sweet and congenial. You did everything to make our stay great. I just wish we could have stayed a little longer.
