Great location! Cozy cottage that fit 6 of us for a long weekend. Place was clean. Each person was given 1 towel, 1 hand towel and 1 washcloth which worked for a long weekend, would suggest bringing your own if staying longer. No hair dryer or paper products are included in amenities, which fine for longer stays as you most likely would bring your own. Overall, it was a great place and right next door to John’s which had really good ice cream!

We made the most of our trip. The property next to the drive in wasn’t ideal- constant people. For 4000 for the week I would have expected the property to be in better condition. The deck is falling apart and definitely a safety concern. The somewhat of a yard was not maintained and glass everywhere. Was not safe to have our dog out there. Not sure what cleaning was done but floors were filthy. The beach was very nice and not crowded. Would have been nice to have more towels provided. The hot tub was a nice feature- but a heads up someone would be coming to check the chemicals would have been nice instead of being caught off guard with a stranger. Overall we had a nice trip - and didn’t let the minor details affect our week.

Great Family Vacation

We had our family of 5 there with our dog. It was an amazing location, perfect amount of room and very clean! The place was perfect. I wish there was more ‘grass’ in the large back yard to walk our dog, but we managed.

Great stay! The beach is right across the road, the price was fair, and Mike was quick to answer any questions.Be sure to bring basics like trash bags, toilet paper, soap, and dishwasher soap. The house is pet-friendly, so there was a slight dog smell at first, but we adjusted quickly.A quick refresh of the throw rug and maybe replacing or removing the dark carpet in the master could help eliminate pet smells and make the space feel even fresher.We’d happily stay again!
