Great cottage.

Everything was just as stated. It was clean, comfortable and just steps from the beach. There was plenty of room with a nice kitchen. It was just what we needed to get away for a little while. So much better than a motel or hotel. We’ll probably stay here again.

Perfect place!

I enjoyed staying here for the few days we were at the beach! Very clean, everything we needed was there, right on the beach, close to town but far enough down the street not to be in the middle of it all and could enjoy a quiet night on the porch! Easy communication with the owners, which I always enjoy! I’ll be back for sure!

Quaint, lovely, clean home! It's true that it's just steps from the beach!

The house was lovely. The porch was so nice to sit on and relax. I actually cooked there, and usually NEVER cook while on vacation. The kitchen had everything I needed.

Horrible communication

Messaged about 4 people coming and didn’t reply or fix it till the day off. Then gave me a call about the check in situation and asked for my ID. Then told us we couldn’t come and no exception even if we had someone 25 with us.
