Very cute cottage

We had a delightful stay. Although the house is on the smaller side, it is exactly as advertised and had all we needed to enjoy the trip. Beach access is so close! We thoroughly enjoyed the games in the loft when it rained. Overall, we had a great trip!

Conveniently Located

The beach is only a few minutes walk over the dunes, which was fantastic. It is located near town so there is plenty to do. The house has a bunch of board games and a shuffleboard table upstairs. We wouldn't mind staying here again.

Plumbing Issue

Cute little house in a great location. However there is a plumbing issue. I would not rent this house until the listing says there are 2 full bathrooms. There is a huge issue with the shower on the main floor. Spoke with Nelene the property manager she was super helpful and did refund us. We were able to move to a new location so we didn't let this ruin our trip.

Short Getaway With Friends

My best friend and I wanted to have a short getaway trip before she had her first baby and this spot was almost perfectly between the two of us. The property was very nice and perfectly within walking distance of the beach, we didn’t even need to cross the street! There were also a lot of restaurants and activities all within ten miles. Upstairs in the cottage there were even games to play. It was perfect for our little adventure and just the vacation that we all needed. I would definitely come back to this property again, even for a week long stay. The property owner was also very responsive and easy to get in touch with. I loved it!

Perfect Location

The location of the property is unmatched. Approximately 100 steps from the beach and we did not have to cross the road. Unfortunately, there were plumbing issues out of the owners control, so 8 people had to use one shower for our entire stay. The owner did contact a plumber the next day in attempt to fix the issue and was very responive throughout the process. In addition, the grass was not cut to be able to use the fire pit area. Overall, the location made the stay worth it though. Would return again!
