5/5 Excellent

This is our 4th stay at the gulf cottage at Sandy Shores and it is a very special place. The location is unbeatable as it is right on the beach and there are multiple areas to sit outdoors with mature trees and beautiful plants in the courtyard. The cottage is perfect for a couple with everything you need and a view of the gorgeous sunset. Great eating places very close. Myrtle, the owner, is so responsive and wonderful to work with.
