Wonderful Mother-Daughter Weekend

My mom and I stayed here for 2 nights and it was just perfect. Check-in was quick and easy. There was plenty of street parking, even during the busy time of year. Close enough to walk to some nearby restaurants and the beach. Very pet friendly too. I didn't have my furbaby with me this trip, but will definitely consider it next time.

Very quiet neighborhood. Easy access to the beach. The cottage was comfortable for the 2 of us and our pets were welcomed too. What more do you need?

The room is exactly what I'd expect. It's nothing fancy or over the top, but it has all the necessary amenities. It can get toasty but there's a fan in the closet and with a combo from the ceiling fan you can get the air moving and cool it down. I stayed here for the proximity to the beach and what a perfect location! I'm a solo traveler so this spot was perfect. Right down the street is a beautiful beach access and view. Perfect sunset spot!

None of the glassware was clean. The pillows need to be replaced..broken foam pillows. Sorely needs a deep clean. The fridge compressor never turned off. Clearer Checkin instructions…had no way of contacting owner. Location fabulous. Easy street parking.

Charming, Quiet, and Quaint Hideaway

Our family of 3 and our small dog stayed here and it was a nice cozy place. We loved that there was a doggy door on the locking screen door so there could be a nice ocean breeze while still access for the dog to go in and out. There is an outdoor hose spray which comes in handy to spray off sandy feet or paws before going inside. Outdoor patio chairs were a nice place to spend the evening outside with a glass of wine to end the day. The place had a ceiling fan and a box fan in the closet which was perfect with windows open to take advantage of the cool ocean breeze. I usually need it to be cool and prefer AC but the open windows and fans were perfect.The ocean/beach is a short walk away and a more sandy wider beach is only a short 5-10 minute drive away too. Lots of amazing food options not too far either. Highly recommend The Taco Stand, Cafe Milano, Piatta, Lobster West, and Brockton Villa.The owner, Jen, is very accommodating and easy to communicate with. Responded promptly and was very helpful. Would recommend others to stay here!

The host let us know last minute that our dog wasn't welcome, and that the place would be too small for a baby. We tried reaching out to the host to discuss our oprtions, but the phone number on the listing goes to someone else that said they don't manage this listing. The host didn't respond to our messages either, and then proceeded to cancel the same day we were going to check in. I spent hours on the phone with vrbo but both vrbo and the host refused to refund us. We travel a lot and this is by far the worst I have ever been treated by a host and customer service.

Location was great. Parking awesome! Just adequate overall. Never heard from property manager until 5 hours after I moved in. Original location was misleading. Price was quoted as no additional fees. There were other fees..
