Cute cozy little cottage

I love the fireplace that is included, makes a winter time booking so cozy. The location is also perfect to explore the old town.

Everything I needed

The property had everything I needed to get work done and then head out for a daily surf. It was fun to get to know the owners.

Disliked: Listing accuracy

what a shame

The unit is an adorable Studio in a great location. Enough space for 1 or 2. No more. It's a shame it is "furnished" so cheaply. The daybed is long enough if you are 5' 3". The convertible "couch" is old, cheesy, small and difficult to open. The refrigerator was hotel size(2'+). Would not recommend. No apparent effort by owners to offer a pleasant living experience

Enjoyed my stay!

Had a wonderful time at “The Cupcake House”. So convenient to the beach and shops on Main Street. House had everything I needed for a week’s stay. Owners were very nice and really care about their guests! Will rent again next year.
