Whether you're planning a family beach vacation, reunion, or getaway with friends, this classic island cottage offers plenty of room to relax and reconnect.

8 / 10Excellent·Oct 2025
Great location!!!! Beds were decent, kitchen is usable, washer and dryer are in kitchen. No hand rails on any of the steps leading into the property, which wouldn't have been a problem it I hadn't injured myself having fun at the beach. Bathrooms are nice, couches in family room are worn out, only basic roku channels on tv so no local channels or sports. The gas grill ran out of propane and it took 48 hours to have a new one delivered. Would I stay there again,,, yes! At this price point for the size and location it's great.

Overall everything was great. The ice maker needs to be repaired. Having it work would have been nice. It was an exceptional value! We were pleased. We had to repair a leak on the kitchen sink drain and we also cleaned a couple of spots (we did not make) on the carpet in one of the bedrooms. The arm on one of the living room chairs is also broken. It was hanging off the side of the chair when we arrived.

Great place with everything you need.
6 / 10Average·Nov 2024
Walking in was a huge disappointment from what the pictures show. Sleeps 12 in beds, advertised as 14. The house has a moisture problem, so unless someone empties the dehumidifier every day, the musty smell permeates everything. Ample outdoor space, it’s an 80s house.
The kitchen has the necessary, and after I dug around in the jam-packed, cluttered cupboards, I found what I needed. Tons of baking things, but no tea pot. It’s an older with an older kitchen. in the beds.
