Prepare your morning coffee in the drip coffee maker provided in the well-equipped kitchen. Start your day off right by sipping your favorite brew on the charming front porch, Enjoy the salty breeze and the sound of seagulls as you plan your day's adventures.

With the public beach access just a short distance away, spend your days building sandcastles, or simply basking in the sun. At low tide, take leisurely walks along the shoreline, collecting seashells and immersing yourself in the beauty of the coastline.

When you're ready to explore beyond the beach, the pier and village offer a myriad of activities and attractions. Indulge in local seafood delicacies, browse through boutique shops, or immerse yourself in the lively coastal atmosphere.

Nice cottage and great location
The cottage was very clean and comfortable. It is a very short walk from Pier Village, and the beach crossover is at the end of the street (about 25 yards). We would stay here again.

The Oyster Shell Cottage" was excellent with all the pleasures of "home away from home", and just a few steps to beach access. Loved the touch of age to this sweet and charming cottage.
