Semi-Oceanfront Beach Cottage I. Access across street to shops and restaurants

As I sat on the deck of the cottage on my final morning, engulfed in the tranquil calm and the incalculable peace of the place and the neighborhood, I waited until the last possible minute to leave because quite frankly, I did not want to. Although it technically is not ocean front, it may as well be. The walkway to the beach is a stones throw. Like sunrise walks on the beach --- this is the perfect spot. Take a night-time stroll, or even make a bonfire on the beach --- this is the spot. You can set up your tent, leave it and come and go as you please. It's as if you have your own private beach. You can hear the tide clear as a bell, in the quiet of the neighborhood. You are within walking distance to the highest rated restaurants in Avon. The place itself is small, just enough for a small family, but the deck is bigger than most decks, with plenty of room for kids and guests. There is also a sizable side yard where children and pets may play --- and a very sizable "underneath" for get-togethers. The cottage has that "lived-in" feel, capturing the essence of beach life, unlike an anti-septic agency sort of feel, you feel the homeliness as soon as you walk in. The host leaves good ol' beach novels and a closet full of games. The sound and the national seashore are a 5 minute drive away. If you are the kind of person who needs a all manner of luxury, this is not your spot. If you love the beach, this is the place. This is one of VRBO's best places I have stayed.

My husband and I rented for 3 nights, a pre summer getaway. Perfect weather, tis little 2 bedroom was perfect for us. Wrll-equipped kitchen, new flat screen with lots of streaming, plush towels, firm mattress, all very clean. And, great taste in decor.

It was clean and everything was as advertised. The property owner checked in with us to ensure all was well. It was close to the beach. What else could you need?

It was nice to have an option to stay with our 2 dogs at the beach. We enjoyed walks on the beach and sitting on the deck at night and watching the stars. Home was a good size for 2 adults and 2 dogs. However home could use a professional cleaning and is in need of some maintenance and repair. Owner was quick to respond regarding plumbing issues, but the decks and stairs are in need of TLC and not recommended for anyone with children or issues climbing steps.
