Fabulous, as always!!

We have stayed here many times over the years. It is a wonderful, bright, clean and uniquely decorated cottage. It is very comfortable with everything you could possibly need and more. It is right at the beach and an easy quick drive for groceries or restaurants. The owner is wonderful and will readily answer questions. We love both cottages on this property.

Quite little getaway

Basic bungalow by the beach. Cute little enclosed patio for some private outdoor space- really came in handy when it was really windy because it kept wind at bay and sun in.Really good cuban bakery across the street and beach access was very convenient.

Thank you so much for another great stay at your adorable cottage! This was our 4th trip and we enjoy it more each time. The cottage is SO clean and has literally everything you need for your stay. The location can’t be beat. The three-minute walk to the beach is easy and the street is very quiet. Martie, thanks for being such a great host. We’ll be back next year!
