Great views, comfortable house and beds. Fantastic access to beach. Large deck with ability to just relax and watch the ocean as well as dine outside. Very walkable to 2 restaurants and a cafe via the beach. Owner was very communicative and quick to respond if needed. Some street noise but that quiets down at night.

Wonderful beach cottage, well located. Although small for a three bedroom, space was not an issue as the home is well laid out and the deck is huge with a stunning view. Easy to find and park, we will definitely look to stay here whenever available.

My husband and I agreed that this was the best kitchen we’ve had in a VRBO! High end gas stove, pull out corner cabinet with everything we could need and more, including cast iron skillets! But the views out the picture windows and close proximity to the beach are why we really picked it and we would definitely go back again!

We were so pleased with the location of this home. It felt like a home away from home.. The beds were comfortable everything you would need in the kitchen. Quiet neighborhood. Close quick walk down the stairs to the beach. Crows Nest for dining right down the way. We all were very happy.

Cute cottage, well appointed, nice location. The deck overlooking the ocean is huge. It would be nice if there was some sort of an outdoor sectional with a gas fire pit to sit by when it's cold outside. But there is an indoor fireplace which was really nice!
