My wife and I loved the house. Block and a half from the beach. Sunset every night and lower tide walks on the beach. The house had everything we needed. Every little touch is thought out by the owner. The hot tub was great to use a few times a day/night. Lovely quiet neighborhood with peaceful bird sounds most of the day. The kitchen had everything we needed for our stay. Very comfy living room and bed too. We will rent this house again if it’s available for another stay when we get down that way. It’s a great house for a family with a kid or two or just a couple on a getaway vacation. Very safe and quiet neighborhood walks too in either direction.

Sweet Home away from Home

This cottage was perfect in every way…cleanliness, location, beautiful space indoors and out, and it was stocked with everything we needed. The host was easy to reach if I had a question and was more than gracious in her responses. I will definitely be back!
