    The Best Cottage in Pompano

    There wasn't anything to complain about. The only thing that was hard for me was the bathroom was very small. I really wish it had been somewhat larger. Other than that it was magnificent.

    The Cottage was quaint and lovely. It was so well kept and was spotlessly clean. Elaine takes much pride in her establishment and it shows. Everything you could think of needing she had in the Cottage. The location was so close to the beach. Very very well maintained.

    No pool but otherwise it was great.

    Elaine was wonderful and met us the first day to orient us to the property and activities and restaurants near the cottage. She was able to get us in a few hours early as we had a very early flight which we appreciated so much. The property was very clean. You choose your own code for the door so entry was keyless. The air conditioning worked well. It was only a five minute walk to wonderful row of restaurants near the pier. It was a quiet, safe neighborhood.

    Could be tidier on landscaping. Some bulbs burnt out on the trees for evening mood light. Cottage was wonderful but the grounds could have been a little tidier for the price we paid.

    No breakfast. Excellent location. Cozy. Clean. Close to beach and restaurants.

    There is a very strong sewage smell in the one-bedroom apartment bathroom. Also, fees for dogs are very high. Much higher than in all other places.

    Great location. Good cleaning. The host, Elaine, is very helpful. Kitchen is fully equipped for long stay. Everything what is needed for beach vacation was provided.

    Not sure why I paid $300.00 a week for housekeeping?

    Cottage was clean and comfortable, peaceful and quiet with great location to beach and walking distance to all shopping. I had a small dog and was able to take her for walks in the neighborhood.

    TV was difficult to operate, low def cable. Heavy rains on day 1. Ocean was too rough for swimming. Surprised that the only free parking in Pompano was on Cottage property.

    Clean, quiet location near the beach. They accommodated our early arrival. Bed was comfortable. We really liked sitting in the lanai. Plenty of restaurants in area, some walking distance.

    The bathroom was tight, but fine for the two of us. Would love to have seen a small First Aid Kit somewhere in the cottage. I cut my finger at one point & needed to wrap it in paper towels until we could get a Band-Aid. But a very minor issue.

    Loved our stay at Cottages by the Ocean. This place is so quaint. The cottage is clean and has everything one needs for a comfortable stay. The bed was super comfy and the area was safe & quiet. We enjoyed the screened porch while eating breakfast and the location! It was literally a three minutes walk to a very private section of Pompano Beach. We were also able to walk to the downtown main area with the pier, shops, and restaurants. Really, the location cannot be beat. Elaine, the owner, met us our first night and was very welcoming and informative. She gave us a restaurant recommendation that led to the best dinner we had all week, with a private ocean view right from our table. I can’t remember the name of the restaurant right now, it was right next to Oceanic restaurant. But if you’re headed to Pompano, book a stay at Cottages by the Ocean and Elaine will certainly be able to recommend the beautiful view restaurant to you as well. You won’t be disappointed with your stay here! We will be back :)

    The AC was a problem as it was not cool when we were in the bed. The ceiling fan is over the couch. So it was cool ther.Very small bathroom. And the TV is a problem,. Hard to figure out. My husband lives to fall asleep with the TV on.So he had problem sleeping.

    It is close to the Beach ⛱️ Had everything we needed . We had our dogs with us and it was convenient to walk them . The way the Cottages are situated makes it private.

    The cable TV service was pretty in/out during our visit but not sure where the issue lies.

    Nestled within a short walk between the beach and the inter coastal waterway, restaurants, shopping and a park. Convenient but quite.

    The sofa bed wasn't brilliant, the porch area needed a good sweep which we did ourselves. The lawn moving & leaf blowing were done at about 9am. I'm an early riser but still like some peace at breakfast time. The gardener then continued doing quieter tasks, it would have seemed sensible to swap the duties around.

    These quirky 1940s cottages are very well located & lovingly kept. The garden area is gorgeous & full of wildlife, access to beach and on foot access to plenty of places to eat. The main bed was supremely comfortable & the period full sized kitchen useful.
