We had a great stay! Host was very friendly and generous with our check in time. House had everything we needed for a lovely beach visit, and such a great location. Upstairs loft bedroom was a little warm, but there were plenty of fans.

Perfect spot within walking distance of the beach and the downtown area. The house was perfect for our weekend stay. Hosts keep a great variety of things stocked in the house to make our time there easy. House is well kept, well furnished, and perfect for a getaway. Host was communicative and accommodating. We would stay again and have already recommended it to family.

Breezy Beach Retreat

This cute home in the heart of the village is perfect for a couple or small family. It is well equipped and very cozy. The bed is comfortable and the sheets are soft, unlike so many hotels! The house is extremely clean and our hosts were kind and easy to work with. Instructions were very clear and the small touches they added made our stay feel extra special. We will definitely book again.
