My fiancé and I just stayed at this adorable, quaint location and we loved it. It was quiet and peaceful, very clean and adequate for our needs. We loved the private beach access and the bar was nice also, located right out back on the property. The hosts were great. We could not have asked for better people to have rented from for the week. We cannot wait to stay here again the next time we vacation here. :)

Great little spot with easy beach access. Quiet spot at the end of the street. The unit is not large, but it was perfect for a quick weekend trip. It had everything we needed, including coffee pods! :-) There were even doggie treats! Unit was clean. It looked like it have been recently remodeled. Would definitely stay again!!

It was in a great location being steps from the beach! It was fine overall for sleeping, but we felt as if the property could have been a little bit cleaner. The linens and towels were nice and clean, but I could tell an animal had recently been there.

We enjoyed ourselves very much and the convenience of being able to go to the beach. We're very happy that we could have our fur baby with us. Everyone on the island was very friendly. We appreciated the service to get extra towels,because we like to take a lot of showers whenever we're at the beach. The only thing that it would have made itBetter for us is that if we had a refrigerator with a Icebox because we love ice cream.We would love to be informed when you have any specials available.We would like a larger place.So that we would be able to prepare meals. Thank you, and we hope to see you sooner than later

It was so incredibly loud. I had to wear earplugs each night because I could hear the lady upstairs yelling at her dog or the AC would turn on and scare the crap out of me. Also, you must adore the person you are with because there is NO personal space

Welcoming to pets. But smaller than expected. Also thought the backyard was attached to apartment but is a shared yard with many other apartments in the building. Overall everything fine. Our dogs first visit to the beach which he didn’t like. So we left early. Not sure why we got a bad review as guests. Put towels and sheets where asked and left the place as we found it.

Hidden Gem

Perfect for a few quiet days at the beach! Unit had everything you could need. Even a few treats for my pooch! There is a really nice grassy pet area in back of units. They finished the new gazebo with private beach access while I was there. Just a few steps and you're on the beach. Will definitely be going back!

A little smaller than we thought would be, and no closet space or drawers for clothes. It was a great location to the ocean. It was neat for the most part, but the refrigerator was a little dirty. Still we were there only two nights, and okay for that short time. We would choose a larger apartment in the same area next time.

We enjoyed our stay tremendously. The property was located steps from the beach & had easy access to dog park areas. The only drawback was the property set up itself. On Sunday evening the upstairs renters had on loud music & there was a good bit of noise emanating from the floor above us…moving chairs/furniture and loud steps. This went on until close to midnight sad to say. So we as the renters of the lower level studio apartment…we had to endure. Not awful but not great either. Thank you for your hospitality

It was a very cozy, inviting place to stay. The shower is huge. There is a need for a hot plate to make a little breakfast or small dinners. If so, would need to provide some pots, pans etc. I really enjoyed my stay. Appreciated being right by the beach and the beautiful gazebo outside to enjoy my coffee.
