Very Nice

The house is in a very nice, quiet residential area. We felt very safe. We booked this because we had a concert at Met life and didn't want to drive 3 hours to get home, we only had a 1 hr drive to this house. The place is super clean and was perfect for the 5 of of. The house is very well stocked with supplies, even folding chairs, umbrella for the beach and beach toys. We only had a short drive to the beaches south of us. We took a walk to the bay which was only 4 blocks away, the kids loved it. The owner was very nice and answered all my questions and check in was super easy. I would stay here again.

My family and I were pleasantly surprised by this cozy cottage. From the moment we arrived, the home was very clean, welcoming, and thoughtfully prepared. It truly had everything we needed and felt like a real home away from home.One of our favorite touches was the guest book and the small items left behind by previous guests. It was clear many families had enjoyed their stay here, and we added a few items ourselves to contribute to the tradition.Although the home may appear small from the outside, it is very roomy and comfortable inside. The quality sheets and blankets made the stay even better, and the cottage has a warm, nostalgic character that makes it easy to relax.The parking was efficient and convenient, and the landlord was extremely accommodating, communicative, and helpful throughout our stay.Our visit was especially meaningful as we gathered here to celebrate the life of our grandmother, who passed away at 108 years and 10 days. The front porch and large backyard gave our family the perfect space to reflect and spend time together.Even though it wasn’t beach weather, we would absolutely stay here again.
