Hidden Gem
We had a wonderful stay at the Unsinkable Mary! The location was amazing two lots down from the beach access which is a ramp up making it easy to pull our wagon. The house itself was very clean, and having the beds already made was a plus. We did bring our own sheets but did not need to use them when we felt the quality of linens provided. There is plenty of space for your family to spread out. Our family enjoyed our stay so much we booked again for next year.

We had a wonderful stay. The cottage was terrific and the host very accommodating. I highly recommend this location. It was less than a sixty second walk to the beach. The beach there is nice and relaxing. We had a blast. Thank you so much!!!

Well appointed and artistically decorated cottage; easy beach access and quick walk to good coffee! We will hopefully stay again here at this comfortable cottage in a warmer season. Highly recommended to families.

Quaint yes modern
This home actually looks even better in person than in the amazing photos online. I absolutely love the 1940s touches like original ( refinish) wood floors and original interior doors, these details keep the 1940s charm. However the remodel bring the most modern of embellishments. This hope was spectacularly clean with high quality linens and towels. This host is out of this world in providing for ur every need ( even if u have and infant - don't pack all ur infant gear ask host about the wealth of supplies provided) I can't say enough great things about this house ... Oh and the location is top notch amazing ... Super short walk to the beach, 4 blocks to downtown fun and the veggie wagon store across the street is awesome. I say my biggest concern before the trip was bugs in the house because A) it's the beach and B) the house is from 1940 ... But I will tell u we saw not even one bug. Awesome! Excuse typos - on a phone
