Fantastic location.Cute, low key home.Easy parking.
10 / 10Outstanding·Mar 2026
Clean, well maintained, well stocked kitchen and beach supplies, great beach front location with designated parking, within 5-10 minute drive of restaurants and shopping, comfortable queen bed and pullout couch with ample towels and linens, clear instructions before arrival, multiple spare keys, full size toiletries provided, Lush garden landscaping with thoughtful pathway lighting after dark made the location feel safe. A short Amtrack passenger train runs by nearby a few times a day, but not overnight. I would plan another vacation around staying in this cottage.
