Beach Front on the Bay - Pet Friendly, WiFi, Parking, Large Water front Deck

This Beach Front Cottage is so close to the water you can throw a rock in it. Come relax in our home on the water.
Park directly in front of your door and be on the sandy dunes within a few steps. This large sprawling home is fantastic for multi-families or smaller groups.

This is a large roomy home. A bit rustic, but pet friendly and WATERFRONT!!

We offer 4 bedrooms, 1 Living Room for the adults and one for the kids! Both with Large Smart TV's for your binging!

The kitchen, family room and dining area are arranged in an open room concept on the main floor.

This home features 4 bedrooms, the master with a Queen and a single and an attached full bathroom (with a stand up shower), the second bedroom has a queen and the 3rd upstairs bedroom has two twin beds. The Fourth bedroom, downstairs, has two twin beds and a Queen bed. This unit can sleep up to 12 guests if you are a close-knit group!

We have a deck on the back from which you can watch the sunrise and sunset.

Even with a bit of modernizing, the property is a historical home that is now over 85 years old. It has some eccentricities that reflect building standards and designs from the turn of the last century that lends to its charm as an older beach cottage. But even so, we hope that you will love our older and charming home.

We are pet friendly with appropriate fees.

• There are NO PARTIES ALLOWED! We are in a quiet, tight-knit, residential community. Our neighbors will not hesitate to report any excessive noise to the Police and to us! Immediate eviction with **NO REFUND** will result if there is a party on the property.

Water was lovely but home needs repairs! Home is not safe- fire in basement from faulty electrical

We rented this property for 2 weeks. We plan a summer trip every year, after looking at numerous properties and units we decided on this one as the reviews seemed pretty positive. Mind you we also paid in full a year in advance. We arrived saturday afternoon and upon first inspection we realized the home desperately needed repairs. It was listed as a handicapped friendly home but the door has no railing, and there was also a small flight of stairs to use the bathroom and showers. The showers were dirty and black mold was visable in both showers. The toilet in one bathroom shook when sitting on it. It was very unstable. The sink had no hot water - which was later resolved but it constantly ran and the sink also had a mold mildew issue. The kitchen although outdated was decent with plenty of room to cook and eat. There was not enough silverware for 12- and we had 10. Also pots and pans were minimal we actually went to walmart and purchased pots, pans and silverware. We also used paper plates as there were not enough plates for all of us. Air conditioning units worked well but filters were nasty and not clean as well as the units all had mold and mildew.

Overall 3 stars out of 5 experience. Location was ideal - right on the beach in easy walking distance. The owner was also very communicative, which made checkin/checkout easy. The house is in need of repairs. Our biggest issue during our stay was the weak plumbing -- 10 people sharing a bathroom where the toilet does not properly flush (and then the cheap plunger broke requiring an emergency trip to the store), put a damper on the trip. Additionally, cleaning in between visits could be improved. We noticed a smell in the kitchen and found rotten potatoes in one of the cupboards. Given the price point and location, we were not expecting anything fancy. Overall we had a good experience, and the house itself could be improved with some quick fixes and improvements by the owner.

Beach Front

This location is perfect beach access! It is a nice quiet location with not a crowded beach. The property manager was in contact and very helpful. Our biggest disappointment was the sand/growth in the way of the view from the deck. When sitting on the deck, couldn’t easily see the beach like the picture shows, from yearly buildup and weathering.

Rustic, comfortable bay getaway

We had an enjoyable stay for a long weekend. While listed as rustic, we felt dated would be a better description. As well as noting that there were many cosmetic repairs to be done. Broken windows fixed with duct tape, broken fridge drawers fixed with various kinds of tape. Trim pieces falling off the baseboard heaters. In general the house was clean (floors, surfaces, baths and kitchen) however we did notice dust/dirt covering light bulbs and fixtures. We did have some trouble keeping the master bedroom warm on a cold windy night because of the air coming in around the window a/c unit but some towels shoved around it helped some. Beautiful deck off the back with a wonderful view. Just disappointed that there was no seating out there to really enjoy it. While listed as family friendly - I would have felt uncomfortable having my toddlers with us due to the number of "broken" things they could get into and damage further. Overall we had a lovely time, the owner gave excellent check in instructions via a message, and had excellent instructions printed at the house for amenities and checking out. The house fit us all very well - no shortage of bed space, and we would absolutely stay here again.

Beautiful beach

My family really enjoyed this property. The house was clean. It is not the Hilton. It is a simple, older style house with a lot of room. You could sleep ten in here easily. There was a bassinette which was very helpful for our two year old son. The ocean is only 100 feet away, and it was not crowded. My wife was worried reading a few of the ratings. We found them to be very inaccurate. You can't please everyone. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Perfect weekend house for the guys

I spent the weekend here with my guys and it was fantastic. Pretty simple house, not fancy but it has everything we need for a good weekend at the beach, and for a fair price. Would definitely return here in the future.

The view was the only plus

The house was located right on the beach, which was great, but the house itself was very disappointing for what we were charged. You rent a house expecting to have all the essentials in the kitchen, but the kitchen was pathetic! The owners really need to invest in some plates, glasses and some utensils and perhaps put some money into the house by doing some updates. The dishwasher bottom rack was broken, the drawers in the fridge were broken, the ice machine was broken, the sinks in both bathrooms had issues and the steps leading to the basement are just an accident waiting to happen. And beware if you are allergic to bees (my daughter is) and there are nests under the deck. The owners would know this if they spent anytime cleaning up the property. The plus and only plus to this house was that it was right on the beach and had a great view. I'm sick over what I what I paid, for just a view. Yes, there were pictures, but the pictures didn't show all the broken items and how run down the house is. We were a party of 7, so going out to dinner every night was not an option, but cooking in the kitchen was painful. If you plan to rent you should pack as if you were going camping. I was not as prepared. Lower what you are charging, because you are robbing people out of their hard earned money.

Anniversary getaway

My husband and I wanted to spend the weekend away. We brought our dog too. It is right on the beach over a sand dune. The beach is quiet and private. The rental was perfect for us! Clean and perfect if you plan to spend most of the time at the beach. The deck was also very nice and we used it in the evenings. Will stay again!

This property was unclean and dusty. At arrival we had to clean ourselves which is unacceptable.

Very unclean and outdated with rusty ac units, dusty curtains and unfinished flooring. Groundsmen gave hard time even though parking instructions were given prior to arrival.
