Disliked: Cleanliness
The host was very responsive and accommodated us with an early check in. The house was pet friendly and there was a good sized property for taking our pup out. The only complaints were that there was some dirt and grime on the appliance handles, light switches and some surfaces, and there were several light lamps that didn't work so parts of the house were very dark. The walk to the beach was very easy and the beach was enjoyable.

Great stay

This house was perfect for our needs. My brother and I traveled down to meet other relatives for a deep-sea fishing trip. His 7 y.o. son/ my nephew decided he wanted to tag along last minute so this place was exactly what we needed. Naturally with 3 guys we weren’t looking for all the frills of a pricey beach get-a-way but we were pleasantly surprised with this little place. Plenty of room, great location (less than a 2 min walk and we could be on the beach), and in a nice neighborhood. We all enjoyed the stay and would definitely recommend this place.

Wonderful beach cottage

This is a nicely kept, older cottage with a short walk to the beach in a quiet, safe neighborhood. The latter rates very high for me when visiting new places. I love the laid-back atmosphere with comfortable outdoor seating: screened porch in front and patio with grill out back. It truly felt like home away from home. The hosts are very responsive, kind and gracious. Thank you for a lovely experience for our Spring Break week!

Cute cottage walking distance to beach.

Older residence. Quaint. Attractive furniture, comfortable beds. Well stocked with everything you'd need. Firestick TV frequently lost connection making it difficult to watch a movie. Sheets on thequen bed needs updating.
