Here are what our past renters have to say:
"Wonderful cottage", "Great place", "Perfect Spot", "Perfect Cottage". "Cute beach cottage", "Great getaway", "Perfect", "Adorable cottage", "Perfect getaway".
"New, pretty neighborhood"

This cottage was built in August 2018. Super clean, and a great location.

Less than 400 steps from multiple beach accesses. Close to King & Prince, and Ocean Lodge. Walk to the village for shopping, eating, and entertainment. Sit outside on the porch and listen to the ocean. Close to Crabdaddy and Crab Trap. Bike rentals nearby.

Newly added in 2021: Whole house water filtration and softener system. Fresh and clean water. No need to bring bottled water. New screen porch.

Pet friendly. No smoking. Minimum of 3 nights $75 nonrefundable pet fee required. 50lb limit.

One bedroom, one bathroom, open kitchen with bar, brand new washer and dryer, built in day bed with a trundle. Sleeps 4. Covered front porch. Parking in front.

Includes dishwasher, refrigerator with ice maker, oven, stove, microwave, coffee maker, linens, towels, dishes, and fully equipped kitchen. 32" Smart TV in the bedroom and a 55" Smart TV in the living room. Free WiFi. The coffee maker is the filter (drip) type.

Discounted Rates for Weekly and Monthly available. Contact us to inquire.

REMINDERS: This Cottage is attached to our main house. We use this Cottage frequently for our family and friends.
No smoking means no smoking inside or anywhere on the property. This includes vaping as well.
Please do not unplug the cables to either TV. Both have additional HDMI slots if you want to plug something in. We have had occasions where it was unplugged and not plugged back in and the next guest called about no TV service. This also causes the router to be reset.
Max is 4 persons.
Dog weight limit is strictly adhered to. Contact us if you have a question.
No early (4pm) or late check outs (10am) without prior approval.
We do not accept a reservation with a check in or check out the same day as another existing reservation. The reason is because we follow the protocols for Covid cleaning and it requires about 4 hours to clean. We simply cannot get this done and schedule the cleaner in time to meet the 4 pm time.
We ask that you follow these and the other guidelines.

Mark couldn't have been nicer! Checking in was seamless. The location of the house was great. Easy parking and a walkable, quiet neighborhood. We felt safe, and it was easy to walk to our pups. The house was clean. The screened-in porch was a plus when traveling with dogs and unloading the car. The house had everything we needed.
