It was clean, and the kitchen and bathroom were perfect. A little smaller than I thought, it was pretty cramped with just two. But it was still a very nice stay, super close to the beach.

Another great stay at this cottage. We have stayed previously. Communication with the owner is always four stars. During this stay, we were greeted with a new floor, which makes the space feel larger and brighter. There were many other upgrades as well. Our pup always enjoys the gated deck. We love the screened in lounge area. We really enjoy the access to the beach, just across the street.

This was a wonderful retreat for our wedding anniversary, even more special because we got to bring our pup to the beach. The condo is clean and well stocked. Kim who cleans was so welcoming when we overlapped with her. There’s multiple beach public access points within walking distance, and you’re so close to the end of the island. We stayed two nights for a long weekend and will definitely be back. Thank you for having us!

Perfect little bungalow for a little trip away. Loved the location and set up to accommodate pets. Not necessarily the most baby friendly (if you have a walking toddler), but the listing doesn’t advertise itself as so either to be fair. Great little spot if traveling with dogs!

Perfect NTB spot

Check in/out was a breeze, the unit was clean and well stocked with most everything you could need. Downstairs area is amazing for after the beach lounging. Could use a gas grill instead of charcoal. Other than that, 5 minute walk to beach, perfect for couples and we hope to stay again!

Nice area

I found the house to be nice inside , nice screened area underneath . Grass needed mowing , and general exterior cleaning up. The ac had an issue , I left early but was contacted by the owner saying it was resolved . I just didn’t want to take the chance of it not being resolved .

Cute little place

The house was cute. It is small but great for 1-2 people. It was easy walk to the beach. If you're looking for a laid back vibe, it's prefect. While not super close to a lot of places to eat, it was close enough to drive to. The house had pretty much all that you would need. Irecommend a dish drain
