Pretty View

Beautiful sunrise and ocean views were nice. The owner was easy to communicate with. The home needs some updating and care to make it more comfortable.

Such a beautiful view and the semi private beach is just a short walk to be in paradise.

Property is as described and a piece of history sitting right 9n the edge of the seawall overlooking the beautiful ocean Walk a few hundred feet and you can enter a super semi private beach area that is great for dogs and kids. We really enjoyed this vacation and would recommend this place for anyone looking for a nice place right on the ocean front.

Amazing views

This is a quaint cottage in the most beautiful beach front location. Away from busy SA beach but close enough for us. It is quiet, peaceful and fun to watch surfers, windsurfers and the waves. Nothing fancy for sure but well worth the views and location. There’s even a small fenced yard on the beach with a fire pit, charcoal grill, table and chairs. Management was kind and attentive. Enjoyed it very much!

Dirty

Very dirty, food left in fridge, used soap in bathrooms, half empty shampoo, very dirty bedding with dog hair, windows and doors gap with air coming in. Owner gave us our cleaning fee back since I had .to clean before use. No screens on windows or doors. Nice view but would never rent again. Not covid friendly.

Great rental

My family had a wonderful vacation at this property. It was clean and had everything we needed. The owner was excellent and met us when we arrived. She was always very quick to respond if we had a question. The beach was perfect. It is semi private and there were only a handful of people out each day. My husband fished right in front of the property and the teenagers played in the ocean. We had a great time and would definitely stay here again.
