Great home for the working traveler. Short term or long term is welcome.

We are just a short walk to the sand and surf. Check out our weekly and monthly rates so you can set on front porch swing with two more chairs where you can hear the roar of ocean waves breaking on the shore. In the back yard concrete table picnic area under with a charcoal grill. Walk to the park, walk to tennis court, soccer field, where the kids can enjoy a splash pad and walk to the beach all within 3 block from the house. Washer/dryer, appliances, WiFi, cable, three bedrooms have queen beds, and den area has a couch for a afternoon nap.

We have a 4.9 guest rating and our average response time to our guest is less than one hour.

Please note our cancellation policy which is set at firm.

We encourage you to purchase the trip cancellation protection from CSA insurance which is an option during your reservation purchase time.

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!
