We stayed at this property in May 2025 and again in Sept 2025. It needs some maintenance, air conditioner went out on us, screen around the door needs repair to keep bugs out, and spiders were frequently found in the bedroom.

Great weekend getaway

Cute cottage- great location to beach access- hot shower. Front porch was charming but Could use some wood and screen replacement/ it's the beach, weather is brutal on wood. Overall, I'd stay there again.
