We had a great time. The house is very cute, cozy and welcoming. Its close to the beach within walking distance. The beach is absolutely beautiful except for the jellyfish that was trying to get me to play and stung me. Still a great time. We'll definitely be back with our grown kids and grandchildren.

We stayed here for three days during the week. It’s a nice place but older. Cutely decorated. The outside decks are freshly stained. We enjoyed our stay. It’s a few blocks from the beach. You have a view of the ocean on one of the decks. There is a hodge podge of cups, silver ware, and pots and pans. We found everything we needed to cook. No dishwasher. Wash machine and dryer onsite. Newer refrigerator. Over all we would stay again.

The cottage was great. We enjoyed our stay and everything was in order when we arrived. The HVAC worked that was a plus for the heat and humidity. We were able to set on the porches and watch the fireworks up and down the entire beach. We would definitely rent again for our stay. But I would most likely rent a cart or bring my UTV to drive the beach instead of using my truck. 👍🏼😎
