This home was the prefect place to stay for our first Notre Dame vs USC game. Clean, well-appointed, and comfortable, this home checked every box. Highly recommend!
This was such a great spot for a girl’s weekend! We were stunned by how close it is to downtown and the beach. It was very clean and comfortable for us. We loved it!

The cottage had a HORRIBLE odor inside - 4 y/o walked in & says “it smells like dead fish in here”!Overpriced & no plans to stay there again!

Great location and cute and clean lodging. Rooms are small but everything was well stocked and decorated. Listing shows laundry which is not available - this was confirmed to be a VRBO technical issue so I omitted from my rating. Host company was not responsive to questions and I had to call to get updates regarding check in and didn’t get responses when asking about said laundry issue.
Nicely done, renovated cottage - great location within walking distance from the main area of town - quick walk to the grocery store and coffee shop - big backyard and back deck with new, comfortable furniture. Bedrooms are small but nicely decorated and clean. Bathroom is tight with a small shower. House is well-equipped from the kitchen supplies to bathroom toiletries. Central Air Conditioning worked very well over a 90 degree weekend, and ceiling fans in bedrooms helped too.
This charming house was fabulous! First the decor was awesome! I loved arriving home after a day at the beach and seeing all the little details. Second, it was very clean and well organized. Third, loved the backyard and the quiet street. It was still close enough for us to walk to town or the beach. So many restaurants within just a couple blocks too! We loved our little getaway and highly recommend staying here!
