Quick Beach Weekend

We stayed for a long weekend with friends who rented one of the other cottages. We loved the location and the pool. The cottage itself is in need of maintenance and looks better in the pictures than in person, but overall we had a nice beach getaway and enjoyed our stay.

My friend and I wanted a little break from the cold, so we decided to meet for a long weekend in Florida. The Villa Mojito was the perfect find! Adorable, extremely clean and in a great location. We had a wonderful time that wasn't long enough. I highly recommend this little gem.

Nice little house

We really enjoyed our stay at this little villa. Great little area to bring your family for vacation. Only real complaint is we wish we had central air conditioning- super hot in the summer (to be expected). Great beach, great places to eat, dolphins close by. Thank you!!

Perfect quiet Florida island spot

Very clean, well-maintained, small but very functional 2 bedroom cottage. Quiet neighborhood. Short walk to beach. Kayaks for protected bay. Good bars/restaurants and bike rental about a 15 minute walk. Well managed. Very happy with this experience!
