Great pet friendly house

Loved the location. Private section of beach that wouldn’t be crowed even in the summer. House was just as pictured. Comfortable beds and pretty well stocked kitchen. Only complaint was there were no true beach chairs. Just rusty folding patio chairs. We would have brought our own, but were told there were many. Also, didn’t know there were biting flys. Had to buy spray with deet and apply liberally to sit on the patio or beach. Found out this was a yearly occurrence for September and October. Overall, it was a great stay.

My new go to place.

If I had a beach house this is what I would want it to look like and the location I would want it to be in. It felt like home to me. I have no complaints. Loved everything about it. Perfect for me and my family.

Charming Beach Cottage with Quirks

Let me start by saying that this is an amazing stretch of beach, quiet and uncrowded. The house is cozy but does need some refreshing; if you want to cook I would recommend bringing some extra pots and pans, there were lots in the cupboards but all damaged from heavy use. The coffee maker didn't work and there are quite a few lightbulbs out. With the beach wind the siding rattles and keeps you awake and the house sways quite a bit. The porch is a great place to enjoy the view but I hope that it has some maintenance done on the off season as the sturdiness of it was questionable, just don't stand all in one place. As far as the bedrooms go the true bed configuration is 1 king, 1 queen, 1 double and 2 singles. The house needs a good off season deep clean, air vents were coated in dirt/rust, sand in dresser drawers. Overall my family enjoyed our vacation here, just know what to expect.

We Would Not Stay Again

This was, by far, the filthiest home that we have ever rented. That old pee smell when you walk in the door does not go away, no matter what you do. The rugs, beds, floors, and toilets were filthy. We had to go buy sheets and towels and cleaning supplies. A roach ran across the floor as we were getting ready for bed. The entire home needs a good scrubbing from top to bottom.
