A Few Issues…

Overall the property was as listed in the description. The house was a little hard to find as it was off of a dirt road that no longer had a sign with the street name. Once we arrived the mosquitos were horrible. The properties on both sides of ours had grass that was about waist high and we were absolutely swarmed every time we walked outside. Due to this me and my wife were unable to enjoy the pool. Inside the living room AC did not work very well but the bedrooms were cold. In the primary bedroom the ceiling light did not work and we found a small roach in the bed. Also, almost every blind in the house had the stick that rotates to close the blinds snapped off so it was very difficult to close the blinds. I would only recommend this location to others if the above listed issues were fixed.

Family trip

This place was sooooo cozy!! The house is great, really clean whenever we arrived. The pool was so nice too! Some of our FAVORITE parts: - the fact that the house was not off the main boulevard because we had our doggo with us and wanted some type of yard. - there was a beach access road to Jamaica Beach like 6 minutes down the road and we parked our car right on the beach with the whole crew. This trip will forever be a core memory watching our little and dog get to play together on the beach, and the ease of the house, host, and everything literally could not have been more perfect. We would stay here again forsure!!!

Mesquitoes galore

Good place to stay with nice pool, but couldn’t enjoy pool because of mesquite swarm , but we stayed right after a flood the week before, so it’s just nature. Would stay again.

Stay at the Sugar Shack

The property itself is absolutely charming. We very much enjoyed the quiet and distance from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. We were able to cook our meals there, eat on the patio, enjoy the pool, make s’mores at the fire, see a beautiful sunset, and star gaze. It was a very relaxing few days. Thank you again!

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Amenities
The cottage itself was in fairly good condition and clean, however, the bathroom had the mirror on the floor behind the door, and the door did not close. The beds were very firm, and a challenge for us. People need to know this property is not near the beach unless you drive, as it is a fair distance to walk, and there are narrow roads with no sidewalks. It is also miles from the nearest store for supplies. Given our experience, although not totally bad, we would not return there.

Everything was great. We loved the Sugar Shack. Everything was clean and neat and comfortable. Russell did a good job of communicating with us and was very helpful. We recommend the Sugar Shack to anyone who wants a neat little quiet place to stay.

Quaint and peaceful

We truly enjoyed having room to enjoy the outdoors with an oversized lot with fire pit area and outdoor dining. The house is quaint and perfect for a couple of small family. Just minutes from the beach makes it a great location as well.

Cute house

House is very cute. Liked that the home felt secluded due to it being on a large plot of land, but also we could drive to the beach within a few minutes.
