We loved this place and it was perfect for our stay! Comfortably fit 11 adults for the weekend. The kitchen was big and well stocked with the basics, extra blankets and pillows, and the complimentary beach towels were a great surprise! The walk to the beach was quick and easy across the road and down the boardwalk and it was so nice to be able to offload our things in the carport rather than hauling up and down an elevator as would in a condo. Speaking of carport, plenty of room under the house for our vehicles. Quiet area, short walk or drive to the bars and restaurants. Excellent accommodations, great locations, can’t wait to return next summer :)

Great property

The house was spacious and a great location. Very short walk to the beach and pools. We had two infants under 2 and had plenty of room for all of the family. The property was clean and homey. We had a great vacation and would return.

My short but sweet stay at the beach house

Our stay was amazing, and we wish it was longer! We stayed one night for a conference- and had a great time. It was very clean, there was lots of space, great location, and I appreciated the extra blankets available in the closets- and all of the cooking supplies and cookware. I will definitely consider coming back the next time we are in the area!!

Family vacation

The property was beautiful, four bedrooms and four baths with one bedroom and bath downstairs and three upstairs. It had two pools available on the property and was actually, as advertised, within walking distance of the beach. It was also located close to multiple restaurants which offered diverse types of food choices. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

This is a great house!

I book on VRBO often. This listing was everything that was described….and better than the pictures conveyed. And the fees on this one were reasonable, which isn’t always the case. We would definitely stay here again. Some of our friends who were with us are actually planning to rent it again. Thanks for a great stay!

Beautiful Place

Our annual family vacation was great this year at this cottage. The description was very accurate with the size/sleeping arrangements and how close it was to the beach. The mattresses were not the best, and there were just enough bath towels for everyone so we had to do laundry daily. But besides that minor inconvenience the large kitchen and living space made dinner nights in very enjoyable! Thanks for letting us stay!

The property and the experience was very good. The host was top notch. No complaints. FYI...the door to the rear balcony won't stay shut unless the deadbolt is thrown. The remotes for the ceiling fans are not paired with the fans. The living room TV remote needs new batteries. Again, we were very happy with the property and the host. Steve C.
