Cute little cottage
This is a cute place and it is close to everything. We parked the car and then walked to everything we wanted to do. Small for 4 but was fine for a couple day stay. Would definitely stay here again!!

Perfectly located cottage
We loved our stay at Pliar’s Cottage. The location is fabulous; while in the middle of everything it is private. The cottage was adorably decorated & communication with the property staff was wonderful. We’d definitely stay here again but will bring earplugs for the early morning roosters! 😊

So Cute
We really enjoyed our stay here. Definitely only sleeps 3, as the futon isn't even a twin. Queen bed was very comfortable. Bathroom was 1/3 of the entire cabin. The outdoor space saved us. Location was fabulous. Half a block to where our snorkeling trip departed from. Multiple restaurants within a couple blocks. Only downsides: Parking added up quickly and room smelled like cigarette smoke.

Great Location!
This was a great little cottage. It was right in the middle of things but yet didn’t get bothered by any noise. They do a great job of making you feel “away” from things but yet Mallory and Duval are just a stroll away. Cottage was clean and communication was perfect as it wasn’t overbearing but I felt if I needed anything, all I had to do was ask. Luckily, never needed to contact them. They even texted us and let us check in around noon which was awesome. There was never an issue finding a parking space right outside the gate but it is pricey. I’d recommend E-Bikes or scooters if you needed to get around further than a walk. Only negatives (and I’m not even sure that is the right word) was that there was no closet or drawers to store clothes. Have to live out of your suitcase. And the walk-in shower tends to make a mess as the curtain is really high and doesn’t reach the floor so the water splashes on the bathroom floor. Nothing a couple of towels didn’t cure. I recommend Kermit’s cafe and Breakfast Club Too for breakfast as they are literally next door. Mr. Z’s pizza is always awesome as well.
