The cottage was well equipped with everything we needed. The staff was friendly and the location was great! The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was because of the cleanliness of the room upon

I glad we discovered this property
This location was great for what we wanted. I didn't give it an excellent because it wasn't as accommodating as a hotel room but it was great for a group of church guys just getting away for a few day, I have nothing negative to say. The staff was friendly and the grounds were kept nicely groomed. I'm glad I ran across this place and defiantly plan to stay here again.

My family was very pleased!
Booking was easy. It was the most affordable rental we found. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We were arriving a day early and staying an extra day, Justin accommodated us with the 2 extra nights! They provided us with a wooden high chair when we requested it. Our 2 bed/1bath cottage was decent and described accurately online. The beach access is straight across the street! All tenants were friendly and there was plenty of parking. The only thing I can say slightly negative is that I would like the cottages to be cleaned better before arrival and they need to replace the carpet and blinds. We had 10 adults and 5 kids and we all agreed that we definitely will stay here again!!

Perfect for those of us on a budget!!!!
It was a perfect place to stay for a single mom working with a budget. We booked the family cottage and I invited a friend and her son last minute and we had more than enough room for the 5 of us. We could've had a few more people. It was decently clean. But do know that you need to bring your own linens, towels, and cleaning supplies (hand towels, dish rag/sponge, soap). It helps them reduce cost. Kitchens do come stocked with cooking utensils and pots/pans. Overall, I wasn't mad at it. The property offers SO much for the kids. Multiple pools, basketball, and volley ball courts. It's right across the street from the beach and it's located in such a quiet area. It was perfect. We'll be back. Thank you Christian cottages!!!

Great Stay!! Great location!!!
Great stay for my purpose. Beach directly across the street, so love that! Room was clean and well cared for overall. You can cook which is also great to budget and have a home cooked meal. Only suggestion I have is leave a dollar store antibacterial dish soap and sponge in the rooms, that have a kitchen. If you come in late and want to cook a meal not everyone is going to run out to purchase this. In addition, the people that do not purchase or bring these item's are most likely just rinsing the dishes. I only say this because the dishes in the room were greasy. I however did run out and make these purchases, in order to leave the dishes properly washed for the next guest.
