Great location!

Very clean property! Comfortable for family of 4; kiddos shared a room. Location to beach and downtown is superb; great for biking and walking. Really no need to drive once you’ve landed. Minor things, shower stall and bathroom are incredible small also wished there were a few more kitchen items. Overall we would stay again!

Great beach cottage

It was great to find this smaller beach home at a reasonable price without having to resort to a stay at a condo. Great location to beach and loved the fenced in backyard for our Lab. The large screened in front porch was a wonderful place to stay in shade and relax. The only suggestions would be to have to have a deck umbrella to provide shade on the back deck as it is south facing and receives full sun all day and the other would be to have more pots/glassware for cooking and bowls for food preparation and storing. Would highly recommend this rental for couples or small family of 4.

Awesome!

Location is outstanding. The place is well appointed and the host are great. It's not a big place, but well suited for two couples or a couple with two kids that can sleep in the same bed. Back yard was perfect for our two dogs and the deck is fantastic. Did I mention location?
