This 3 bedroom unit was very comfortable for 3 couples. The large bunk beds in one bedroom offers some flexibility for where to put kids etc. The host was very responsive to our questions, and check in and out were very easy. The location is wonderful with easy access to the beach, plenty of parking as well as items that you might need for an extremely short walk to the beach. The kitchen was well stocked and we didn't find ourselves needing anything that wasn't provided.The only issue we had was the lack of ac. That area doesn't typically need it, but with the heat wave that was going on, having ac would have made the unit a perfect stay. This weather is obviously not something the host can control!

Place was perfect for our family of six, sooooooo close to the ocean! We were mainly there for DL (25 min), and this was a great jumping off point. But we could have easily enjoyed a week just hanging locally at the beach, pier, etc! On a rainy week, very glad for the washer and dryer, which got a workout!

We loved how close this place is to the beach - just a quick walk! The beach amenities were such a nice touch, and the back patio was perfect for relaxing after a day in the sun. It’s also an easy walk to shops and the grocery store, which made everything super convenient.Bring coffee pods (or ground coffee) and earplugs if you’re sensitive - the neighborhood is lively and the houses are close together, so you’ll hear the everyday sounds of people and beach life.We’d definitely stay here again!

What a great location! The cottage was comfortable, great location and a 5 Star beach just a few steps away. We were so busy with a wedding reception we want to come again and just enjoy the beach. Thank you!
