This house was perfect for us - a family of 5. It was right on the beach with a beautiful porch to sit and listen to the ocean. The house was clean, cute and comfortable. We very much enjoyed our stay here!

We had a great stay at The Kooler. The daytime beach views were amazing and even better at night for star gazing. We saw several shooting stars! The house was very clean and cozy; a perfect spot for a couple's getaway or for a family with kids. We would definitely rent again.

This is the CUTEST cottage! I could tell there had been upgrades to this property. The quality of materials used (incredible closets, cabinetry, etc.) was more than evident. The location was fantastic. Even though mother nature was being difficult during our stay (hurricane off the coast). Loved it!!

A Nice Relaxing Place to Stay

This place is right on the beach. The best part is that it isn't one of those buildings with three or more floors. It's got one floor for guests that are staying there. It has two bedrooms--one with a king and the other with a large bed and two bunk beds. The A/C works great, the living room is spacious, and the balcony provides a great uninterrupted view of the beach. To get to the beach takes about one or two minutes--the walkway is adjacent to the house. Nice place.

Great beach weekend trip

House was located directly on the beach as advertised. Interior was decorated well and was super cozy. House was clean and everything worked, no issues. Spectacular beach view and super convenient beach access. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks for a great weekend!
