"Spent 2 nights with our family of 5 adults. Location was perfect, quiet neighborhood but close to everything we wanted to do. Enjoyed quick walk to the beach and ice cream. Loved all the extras…the park pass, bicycles and beach equipment. Kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. We can’t wait to return to the area and hope this home is available when we do. "

"One of the tidiest and most pleasant houses we've ever rented. The only downside is that 3 of the rooms on the second floor share one tiny bathroom. Other than that it was just wonderful. Beautiful outdoor spaces, everything functional, very well stocked and tastefully decorated. The welcome cookies were delicious"

"Nicely updated and decently stocked rental. Amazing views of the beach and literally just steps from the beach. The deck is optimized for the beautiful views with adirondack chairs, a table with umbrella and recliners.The cottage is clean and with 2 parking spots in the alley behind. Only nit are the beds are older and could use updating, but everything else about the rental was great. The host was also very communicative and responsive when we had some questions or issues."
