The room was big enough for a long weekend stay and the bed was very comfortable. The room was very clean and the staff was always texting to make sure we were okay. The beach was just a short walk away. Will definitely stay there again.

This property was perfectly located to the beach, exceptionally clean and well maintained. We went in October so it was a slower season. We loved it… you could open the door and hear the crash of the waves. Beach access was simple and just across the street. Town is walkable for the most part. During ...

This property was amazing in every way. We were able to bring our dog. I have never stayed at a house where everything is provided, from shampoo, conditioner, body wash, coffee, towels, sheets, beach chairs and boards, etc. The back yard was a wonderful surprise. We had a fantastic time!

We visited when it was unseasonably cold and no one checked if the heat was on. The owner was very helpful assisting us, but the unit in the primary bedroom was broken.
