Seabreeze Vacations were a dream to work with!

Fern Cottage was great and Seabreeze Vacations were a dream to work with. It was especially nice to have all starter items like paper towels, soaps, etc. Fern Cottage is so close to the beach and was meticulously maintained. We will be back!

This was a lovely house to stay in for the week with plenty of sleeping, lounging, and dining space for up to six people, and all the essentials you would expect in a vacation rental. it’s also close enough to the beach that you don’t need to drive a car or ride a bike to get there. The owner’s closet includes plenty of beach essentials and bikes, at least when we were there.

We will absolutely be back!

What a wonderful week we had at Fern Cottage! I can not recommend this rental enough. It's one of the only places in our travels that was equipped with almost everything we needed for our stay. Beach equipment, kitchen supplies, extra blankets etc. The walk to the beach was right around the corner and the pool was perfect. We will absolutely be back!

Wonderful property for anyone to rent!

We had such a great time with our family at this property. It was 2 blocks from the beach and walking distance from restaurants and lots of fun things to do. The house itself was perfect! The showers had the best pressure that I've ever experienced and the heated pool was perfect! We loved our time at this home and think it would be a wonderful property for anyone to rent! Thank you so much for letting us stay

Perfect stay! The host even left a handwritten card and gift card for my daughter's 13th birthday. Easy check in, all the amenities you need, and an easy 2 block walk to the beach access point. We loved riding the bikes to go shopping and that they had beach chairs, umbrellas, and a beach wagon to make our beach day comfortable. Highly recommend!
