What an adorable bungalow! Perfect location for our couple’s getaway. We did have one mishap when we locked ourselves out when we went out to have coffee on the porch. Beware, the front door automatically locks behind you! Took a walk on the beach until the rental office opened and they came right away with a spare key. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely come again.

Lovely bungalow near the beach

We found the house to be charming with all the amenities we needed and even it just having 1 bathroom was not a problem for our family of 4. Our favorite part was the 3 minute walk to the beach! The beds were comfortable, the living room as well, and we appreciated the nicely stocked kitchen.

Just As Advertised!

While my trip did not end so well, the stay itself was wonderful! The cottage was so clean, comfy, and cute. It was stocked with the basic essentials incase we didn’t have our own. The Host was so communicative and helpful before, during, and even after my stay. I would definitely recommend staying here and I personally would stay here again!

Quaint Cottage, Close to Beach

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Great experience overall. Close to beach, clean, well maintained mid-century cottage. Bring your own cookware, not much there and it is pretty worn out. Also, there is no table for eating, so prepare accordingly for young children.

Super adorable cottage

I stayed here with my husband and 3 young children (5, 3, and 6 months). The house had everything we needed. It was also very close to the beach walkway. The set up was super cute and though smaller, the house was set up to maximize the space and we had zero issues staying there.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I really loved my stay here. The bed was very comfortable and it had mostly what i needed for a short stay. A few items olive oil spray and coffee creamer and tea would be a welcome touch. A few extra scrubbers for pan sticks as well since there is not a dishwasher.

Little Charmer

Great cottage, but it could use some warmth. Some rugs and artwork would do a lot. Also, the backyard could use some trimming.

Cottage stay

Very quaint cottage, very cute inside, outside of property wasn’t really taken care of garage. Cottage was a little rundown, the only thing bad I would say about the cottage is the kitchen window needs a blind or curtain didn’t work on the remote so it was a very loud on. But the location is great very close to the beach and the inside of the cottage was decorated very cute and more updated..

Price & Location Perfection

This little cottage was the perfect mix of price and location. There are closer more expensive places, and there are further less expensive places. But this property was affordable with an easy 3-minute walk from door to sand. Public Beach access #10 is in the middle of the island and never crowded (in late July). We didn't use the pool at the Palms, but it would've been an even shorter walk. The local grocery (IGA) is just a 5 minute walk, but expect a 20+ minute walk (or short drive) north or south for restaurants and shopping. Our kids (13 and 11) each had a twin bed (didn't use the 3rd trundle), and my wife and I shared the comfy king. Shirley Road is quiet and private so the outdoor shower worked for rinsing off sand after a day at the beach, but also as a regular shower when needed.
