Great Family Vacation

We had our family of 5 there with our dog. It was an amazing location, perfect amount of room and very clean! The place was perfect. I wish there was more ‘grass’ in the large back yard to walk our dog, but we managed.

Great stay! The beach is right across the road, the price was fair, and Mike was quick to answer any questions.Be sure to bring basics like trash bags, toilet paper, soap, and dishwasher soap. The house is pet-friendly, so there was a slight dog smell at first, but we adjusted quickly.A quick refresh of the throw rug and maybe replacing or removing the dark carpet in the master could help eliminate pet smells and make the space feel even fresher.We’d happily stay again!

Cute beach cottage that has everything you need to enjoy a stay at the ocean. Being pet-friendly was so appreciated. You can see the ocean waves rolling in and the dunes from the front window or by sitting on the large deck! The kitchen was well stocked with a nice coffee maker. Mike was quick to respond to any problems. The one downside was that the queen guest bed was really uncomfortable. It was soft and sagged in the middle.

Perfect spot for two families of 4 with one dog. Easy access to beach, enough room for all , and the hot tub helped warm up on the cold afternoons. Already looking into booking next year. John’s next door was great spot for the kiddos.

Nice for the price

We liked the the view and the location, but wished for more comfortable furniture. The beds were too soft and we would have preferred a smaller sofa with a couple of upholstered chairs so we had options for sitting and watching TV. We also would have liked some directions for using the TV/Roku. We enjoyed the hot tub, the shower was good, the owner was quick to respond to our concerns. Overall, a good experience.
