Amazing stay!

Perfect location! Perfect cottage! We loved our stay here. The cottage was very comfortable and so charming. We were close to the beach and had access to beach chairs, boogie boards, beach umbrella, sand toys and bikes. Parking was so easy. Check in and check out was a breeze. I can’t think of a better place to stay!

Great place and location.

Seems to be harder to find homes on the beach front that aren’t massive. This was the perfect place. I am used to staying down further from the pier about 42nd street. But I am now sold on being closer to the stores and restaurants. This house had everything we needed. Will be coming back.

Charming beach getaway

So close to beach the backyard is sand! Lots of kids toys and bikes, beach chairs in garage. Note: only fits 2 smaller cars but during week easy parking on street. Kids immediately started playing with toys and didnt make it into house for a while Beds comfortable, everything clean, no dishwasher so you do that. Pier, shops and restaurants just a short walk down the boardwalk. It was lovely and beautiful weather after morning fog burned off Would definitely do again

Just bring you...

This house was absolutely wonderful. They have spared no expense making sure that anything you could need for a nice beach getaway is already there. From towels and beach toys to perfect spaces to lay your head. Everything was wonderful and clean. Can't wait to make this a yearly trip and hopefully even longer next time. Thank you Matt for the wonderful experience. Also loved all the family history in the home. Made it feel even more cozy.

Love time at the beach

The location is great. The listing is totally accurate. Look at the pictures. This a cute little cottage that is just steps from the beach. We took walks along the beach to the pier. We walked to local restaurants and had a great time. The bathroom is small like the one I grew up with - no just a sink, tub and toilet and a little bit of storage. The wi-fi worked well.
