Cute and super close to the beach
The house was great because the location is awesome. It’s 2 minutes to the beach and super convenient. The beach does not get too crowded and was perfect for the kids. The house has everything you need and was very clean. Cant get a better location

The size of the cottage
The only thing that surprised me was the size of the house. I believe the square footage is listed in the posting. We estimated it’s about the size of a 2 car garage. But it was perfect for just my husband and myself. The beach wasn’t crowded, and only 1 block away. We would definitely stay again!
