This newly renovated Oceanside cottage was absolutely perfect for my wife and I on a short one week getaway to the beach. Loved the renovations and decorations, my wife said she wouldn’t change a thing. Also loved that it was very dog friendly with the large yard and short walk to the dog friendly beach.We had a minor issue with the water heater and after a quick phone call, it was fixed within five minutes – literally! Because the street is a dead end, beach access street with no parking on the street. It is extremely quiet with next to no traffic. I almost hate to leave this review because we are planning on coming back soon and often and don’t want this so booked up that we won’t be able to rent it. lol.We can’t wait to go back!

Recent stay

Location was great but would not rent this house again. Strong musty smell that was overwhelming. The washer and dryer are in a different building and very inconvenient. Outdoor space was dirty and furniture was broken. Need outside shower or at least hose to rinse body and feet to eliminate sand getting inside house.
