Steps to the Beach, Ocean Views, Ocean front lot

This property is an updated 1930’s beach cottage located on an ocean front lot and just steps to the beach. We’ve kept the old school vintage charm but added modern comforts. This house is located on the ocean side of the street but has a house between it and the ocean. The top deck has amazing ocean views to the north and south and the living room has great sunrise views. Brand new stainless appliances and a fully stocked kitchen.
The space
Guests will be staying on the top two floors of the property. There is a separate unit on the bottom level that is not a part of this rental. The two tenants living on the bottom level are extremely quiet and you won’t even know they are there. Top floor has an open bedroom with a king & queen bed and a bathroom with shower. This bedroom also has a deck off of it with ocean views. The lower level has 3 bedrooms, 1 king and 2 queens. It also has the kitchen, dining room with a table for 8, a full bath, the living room, another dining/game area for 4, and a covered porch. Each bedroom has its own mini split unit for custom temperature control. Linens, kitchen essentials, coffee to get you started, basic cleaning supplies, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap, 8 beach chairs, 8 beach towels, kids sand toys, boogie boards, a few games and toys, 1 kids booster chair, and 1 pack n play are included with this rental.

This house is a 1930s classic so there are some unique quirks that you will notice. For example there are a few 6ft doorways, so taller guest, please watch your heads. There are also narrow interior stairways.

Guest access
2 parking spaces included.
While it is considered two parking spots guest can squeeze an additional car or two in if they are smaller vehicles.

We loved our stay at this property. Property manager Lindsey was readily available when I had a question. We loved that we had chairs, an umbrella and towels for the beach already at the house. We even had some snacks available. Def recommend others to use this property for vacation needs. Right on the beach!!

We enjoyed our short visit here. Lindsay was very responsive. The house is the perfect size for a family who wants separate bedrooms. The house is well stocked. The linens were phenomenal!! We had plenty of linens and have never had that before in other places. We have never been provided beach towels before either. The walk to the beach was short. We loved staying here. Thank you so much!

We absolutely loved our stay! We were in town for a College Softball Series and booked this last minute. Stressed and tired when we arrived we were pleasantly surprised by our accommodations!! You never know when you book last minute so it was such a warm welcome! The home is spacious and very well stocked. The bed situations were perfect for us. We had extended family over one night and we all had room to sit and talk. We will definitely be back! The owners were close by as well and were so nice and friendly. Although the home is older, you feel like you are in a more modern cozy home. We highly recommend this home. Enjoy your stay and explore all there is to do in this quiet community!!
