The house was perfect for my husband and I! I would rent it again in a heartbeat. Communication with the host was great and so easy. It was a cozy house and location to walk to the beach, restaurants, and shops was excellent.

Nice place

Great place and location. 1 block from the beach and grocery store/gift shop across the street. 10+/- minute walk from many great tourist destinations, and short drives to many other attractions. Having a washer and dryer was very convenient!

My stay

Was a good stay however never could connect to Wi-Fi so I could not work, there was no access to wash clothes, no broom to sweep up sand so that was frustrating to walk around in sand all the time, I arrived one hour early and was denied access so I think I should have been given access an hour early but it was clean and great access to beach just think if your going to leave laundry soap then we should be able to wash , and we should be able to sweep and we paid good money so I think internet should have worked however manager was trying real hard to get it fixed I was finally able to log on but we decided to leave early

Liked: Location
This cottage was very clean. I did think this unit had a washer and dryer. Also the water pressure is pretty poor. Otherwise the unit was perfect and we had a lovely trip. It is in a very walkable area with very quick beach access. There is a store extremely close by for last minute essentials. The unit was well appointed with basic cooking essentials and plenty of nearby restaurants for dine out or delivery.
