This vacation consisted of my best friend and I reconnecting, reuniting and relaxing.
The VRBO was in the perfect location for us as it was about a 2 block walk to the beautiful white sand beaches of the gulf of Mexico. Pictures were exactly as advertised. The front porch had table and chairs and the perfect fan; made it perfect for chatting for hours.
We bought some beverages to be consumed on the porch. We also bought some groceries to make one meal a day in the fully stocked kitchen. Our other meals were chosen from local restaurants. We made sure to try a little bit of everything. A local bar/restaurant, Mexican, a high end restaurant located in a hotel, a restraunt that is popular with the younger crowd, we tried them all! I have a sweet tooth, so we also tried every ice cream shop we came across!
We also did a fair amount of shopping. And the trick that I learned while shopping is...
Always use cash! If you are in these tourist towns they charge you less if you pay in cash!
Although this cute little cottage was in the perfect location and served its purpose perfectly, it could use a little TLC. The paint on the walls was chipping throughout. It had multiple cracked and broken tiles on the floor throughout the cottage. The glass shower door in the bathroom was broken. Also the closet door would not, could not stay on its tracks. We were also only given 3 towels for 2 of us for 4 days.
Although our stay here was fantastic we probably won't stay here again.
