Yes we loved our stay The host was fast in responding and home was perfect for a family of 3, lots of space and privacy. Loved the private outdoor shower after walking to the beach. Knoxon our 3 year old loved waking up every morning and afternoon to be greeted from our furry friend, Lola and the kitty. We definitely are going to come back and considering moving back

The cottage and the hosts were both superb. We had everything that we needed. The location was just as described...5 minute walk to the beautiful beach. We liked being further from town as the neighborhood was quiet and pretty. We hope to stay there again.

Enjoyed our stay! Walking to the beach was great - it was really nice to be in a neighborhood. We noted that the tree covered walkway to the beach was very clean. People obviously take care of the surroundings. The house was a lovely one bedroom stand alone space that was thoughtfully landscaped - we were able to leave windows open and it still felt very private. It was clean and comfortable. We stay in a fair number of rentals and this was one I would recommend to friends!
