Adorable beach cottage! The most pet friendly place we have ever stayed at, the fence was so amazing for letting the dogs have the freedom to run around and potty. We loved the hammocks under the house too. But the best part of the house was the deck with lounge chairs and picnic table! We ate every meal outside, and when we weren’t at the beach we were relaxing outside. The house was clean, well stocked and so cozy! Highly recommend!

This beach house is In the perfect location! We loved that you could walk out to the ocean from the deck, and saw amazing beautiful sunsets. The house is situated in between two supermarkets and just down the street from some great shops. It was also the perfect size for our "Moms and Daughters" Girl Trip and a great break from the dreary weather back home.The beds were comfortable; we loved having two bathrooms; and the on-site washer and dryer allowed us to arrive home without an immediate need to do laundry.I would definitely book again.

Beautiful area. Extremely convenient location to local shops and dining. Worked out wonderfully with our two two dogs having the fenced in area below as well as the upper decking being gated off. Quick and easy access directly to the beach. House was clean and tidy and had everything you needed. The hosts were quick to respond with a few booking questions I had. Loved it so much! We are already planning on booking for the fall.

Great house, plenty of room for us and our family that came into town. Kitchen was perfect for preparing big meals and nice big dining area to eat as a family. Best water pressure HANDS DOWN, on OKI! Great beach access, and the kids loved the hammocks hanging downstairs. The back porch was PERFECT for hanging out in the evening, and the layout deck was great for star gazing at night!
