Wonderful Host

My husband and I enjoyed staying in Debra's IRB cottage. The neighborhood was quiet, and we were steps from the beach. Wonderful for any family. The cottage was comfortable, clean, and had all the amenities we needed for our two week stay. We recommend Debra's place for all couples or small families.

It was amazing little cottage

This was truly a Christmas blessing to find this little piece of heaven . My son returned after 5 years out of country, and had the opportunity to spend 15 days of reuniting with his family and son . The cottage was beyond equipped with multiple supplies and the location was unbelievable! Thank - you Debra for sharing your home away from home with us . We so appreciated .

Perfect spot for 2

Second year here and love it. Unfortunately they rented to some else for Feb 2023 without contacting us first. Very disappointed and can’t find another place within this price range.

Ever present owner

Owner made sure to make presence felt on site EVERY DAY. The really intrusive owner came to the front door every other day for 7 days for a number of ‘various’ reasons. She would also camp out mere feet from us on the beach. She would also ask for access to the condo accessories - chairs, umbrellas and the like. Condo was fine - a little mold here and there - but the owner making sure to talk to you orncomw into the condo EVERY DAY of a vacation was a little creepy and intrusive. Great location, but owner is really just too much.
