We had an amazing stay! The house was adorable, clean, and had everything we needed. It was a very short walk to the beach, and we absolutely loved spending time in the pool. Everything was perfect, and we can’t wait to come back and stay again next year!

We love staying at this house! The rest of our family stays at nearby condos/hotels on the beach but we love this little slice of paradise. We love going to the beach in the morning and relaxing in the shade at the patio pool in the afternoon. Mary always responds quickly as i had a question about the new TV which was quickly figured out. We eat all of our meals outside and just love it! It is always clean and well stocked.

The property was very clean the bedrooms were great. Not much sitting room. We came down to fish, didn’t go to the beach at all. The area is a little congested (which the owner states in the description) Bar across the street gets a little noisy. Outside patio is very nice. Parking is a little tight. I think it’s would be great for two people, a smidge tight with three, would not want to try six.

Hello Garry:
I think you are my first fishing group! However, you missed the best part---our beach is amazing!!! and people do surf fish at the beach. I do hope you caught some fish! As you can see by the Bay Boat out front, my husband and son were big fishing fans. Unfortunately my husband passed away 3 years ago and my son seems to work all the time now.
My cottage has two bedrooms and my primary clientle are small family groups. So as stated in the description two queen beds and one queen sleep sofa. Most of my guests spend their time on the patio by the pool, where. there is seating for twelve, rather than in front of the TV. However, there is actually seating for 14 people in the great room, it's just not centered around the TV.
The karaoke restaurant/bar across the street has excellent food and inexpensive drinks. It's quite popular with the locals because they generally have good quality bands that play until 10:00pm.
As to the parking Gary, I actually have 3 parking spaces out front, but one of them is occupied by my personal boat, so there are two spaces, one on either side of property for guest use, as stated in the vrbo description. Did y'all bring a boat & trailer, or did the three of you just come in separate cars?

Response from VrboOwner on 22 Jul, 2025
I am sorry about that Donna.
It was just a matter of turning up the air conditioner, and letting it do it's job of cooling down the cottage when you first arrived. It is strange though that my cleaner was there that morning before you arrived and did not detect any unpleasant smell. I guess it's just the extreme heat this summer.
I am glad you had a nice stay and a pleasant vacation!

So glad you enjoyed your stay at the beach cottage! As for the ancient TV in the living room- it receives everything that the new models receive. And the reason it has not been replaced is that people break in and steal the lightweight TV's during the off season. Twice the lightweight TV in the bedroom has been stolen, but they don't bother the "big" boy in the living room cabinet.
The washer/dryer is a tiny and very expensive unit. I used to include it as part of the rental, but people miss used it and I had to replace it twice in less than 5 years, at a cost of roughly $2000 each time, so I had to remove it from the rental program. People want to put thir sandy swim suits in the unit and it tears the unit up, so the very nice laundromat at the end of the street is a nice alternative. Tihere are also a number of hooks on the outside of the cottage near the exterior shower, so folks can rinse their suits and hang them outside with their towels to dry.
Glad you enjoyed your stay and I hope you will stay with us again in the future.

We had a great stay at this pool home. The pool and patio was a great place to relax. The location was prefect with lots of restaurants and shops close by. And the beach was a short walk away.
What a beautiful place to recharge and enjoy family , sun and beaches . We couldn't chose a better place to stay . The pool was so fun for the kids and so very relaxing listening to the live band in the evening just across the street and drinking coffee by the pool in the morning . We absolutely loved our stay ♥️
4 of us stayed, it was so nice inside and outside! Plenty of room to enjoy everything! The owner Mary is very helpful with any questions you may have. The pool is very nice! Just perfect for us!

About the host

Why they chose this property
It just feels like vacation! It is the classic example of "COTTAGE BY THE SEA". a step back to a slower time when families enjoyed each others company. A place you can sit back and enjoy your morning coffee under the patio fans, and listen to the tinkle of the fountain in the garden. It's a place you can feel like belongs just to you---- not a copy of the condo next door,------ even if it is, for just a few days.
What makes this property unique
Excellent location! Private patio & pool with Fountain in Beach Garden Setting
