Fun times!
Second time staying in this cottage with friends. Kelley and Jason are great communicators, and they still continue to provide great amenities for their guests! We all really enjoyed staying here again. Feels like a home away from home.

Great Family Vacation Spot
It's not fancy, but we found everything we needed to stay cool and comfortable on the hottest days. An easy walk to the beach and main drag of town. Perfect for a family of 3 or 4.

Small is Beautiful
Everyone felt how suitable our holiday space, both yard & cottage, was to our enjoyment of a very special long awaited family time. The vision for family fun at the cottage and nearby beach was well thought out! Every thing needed for the beach, the beautifully treed yard (so nb in warmer weather)with fire pit, books & games for indoor fun, and with the provided walking umbrella's we could even 'sing in the rain' while enjoying the cafe's & shops close by...Thanks Kelley, the week was everything we could have hoped for :)

Functional Cottage, beach is nice
My wife and four kids 20, 18, 14, 10 stayed. There was plenty of bed space and the kitchen and living room were spacious enough to hang out. There are really good restaurants near by, the beach it a short walk and nice for a daily dip or two. The house was clean and functional. A couple of unexpected items though. The check out process includes doing the laundry for sheets and towels. Never had that request before. Had to add an hour to check out process. The TV had a hard time connecting to the house WiFi, so we just stopped trying. More time to talk with fam :). Overall our time here was pleasant.

Great Property!
This cute cottage home was perfect for all of my friends and I. The amenities provided made for a very cozy stay. The beach was only a short 10 minute walk away which we took advantage of daily. If you’re looking for a place to stay with friends or family I couldn’t recommend it more!

Perfect yard for Kids
Hosts provided everything you need for a beach holiday. My two grandchildren (7 and 5) enjoyed the spacious yard for playing and enjoyed our campfires. Comfortable beds and all amenities you need. Outdoor deck and barbeque were well used.
