Review CT:
The experience was great, the owners were great and easy to get in touch with. The property was even better than described, we felt at home and were so relaxed. The beach is so close and convenient as well as all of the wonderful shops and restaurants.

Review AC:
This is our second time staying at Donkeys Inn and it was just as great the second time! Everything was there that we needed for a home away from home. Also so close to beach, we were able to walk.

Review JG:
We had a great time. The owners were amazing and very helpful. The house was beautiful and had everything we needed. The little ones especially loved the short wagon ride to the beach. We will be back!

Another great stay at Donkey's Inn

Plenty in the kitchen to cook at home if not interested in going out, but close to plenty of options for dining out if that's what you're interested in. We love the location of this home and enjoyed playing connect four this visit. Easy communication with host and always quick to reply.

Great place and nice owners

This property is well stocked and beautifully redone inside even though it is an older house. It is charming. We have stayed here 3x. If you plan on walking to the beach, it is doable but you do have to cross a busy highway and dragging a lot of stuff with kids would be tough. We drove to the beach but as a downer they are now charging parking. This is not the cottages fault of course. I would rent from them anytime. Reasonable rates too for shorter times than a week also. They are very responsive to any little problem too. It does need a bit of paint on the outside but that does not affect an enjoyable stay.

Why they chose this property

Purchase of this property gave our family opportunity to bond and share relaxing times together. It is a place our children call home and our friends call their get-away. There are opportunities to walk on the shore line at sun rise and sunset (perfect for photography), play in surf, walk and fish on piers, rent bikes for scenic rides, inland waterway views with marsh lands, surf fish, hike nature trails and all enjoyed by our children and friends.

What makes this property unique

Location, location and Location
We are on a quiet street just 3 blocks from the shore. At night and early in the morning you can hear the sounds of the sea's roar while you sit on the porch. If you drive to the Cabana by the ocean you have lots of parking. It is about a 7 minute walk to the beach. We are a half block from a playground. We are 7 blocks from Food Lion and even closer to BBQ and fish to eat.
