"This tiny old a-frame house has been at Olden Beach over 55 years. The owner has selected comfortable, unique furniture and decor that fits this house perfectly. Note: it is right next to public parking. So be prepared for lots of traffic during the summer months."

"We had a wonderful stay at this beach house! It was perfect for our group of six couples, with plenty of space and a very well-equipped kitchen. It was also wonderfully accommodating for babies and families. The pool and pool area were a highlight, and the beautiful views from the house were hard to beat. The direct beach access was wonderful and made enjoying the beach so easy and convenient. The host was excellent—responsive, helpful, and made our stay even more enjoyable. There was occasional traffic/road noise, but overall, it was a fantastic place for a relaxing group getaway!"
