Nice stay. Very old, kind of funky cottage among other cottages. What we liked: location!- short walk to beach and restaurants, trees and bushes surrounding cottage, pet-friendly, comfortable bed, well-equipped kitchen, A/C was actually not loud- though we didn't really need it.Things that were not as good: old mini-fridge not 100%, only 1 comfortable chair (limited space), shower is very small, price is a little high for such an old place that is held together but not maintained with care. Location mostly makes-up for all that though, depending on one's needs.

The host was helpful and welcoming. The cottage is quaint with a rustic vibe. Awesome location....walking distance from the beach and all the restaurants but far enough to keep things quiet.Downside was the heater/ac unit was on the loud side.Overall it's a great unit and location.

Great location, close to the Promenade and the water. There's no ocean view since it's behind another unit. It's great for 1 or 2 people. It includes all the basics - pots, pans, plates, glasses, etc. and a few K-cups for the Keurig. The shady patio out back would be ideal for summer. Also nice that it includes a parking space since parking can be a challenge during the warmer months. Host was responsive and provided everything needed.

Thank you for the kind review, Cheryl. Really glad you enjoyed the location and how close everything is to the Promenade and the water. Appreciate you mentioning the patio and parking as well. Those are definitely big perks, especially during the busier months. And happy to hear the space had everything you needed for a comfortable stay. We’d love to host you again anytime!
