My husband and I really enjoyed our stay here. Very clean and spacious. The blue couch in the living room is amazing I want one for my house. It's on a quiet and safe street. It's located next to an old church that can be rented. It's close to a lot of fun amazing beaches so much to do within a short drive. The host was responsive and very helpful. I would definitely stay here again.

Cute Cottage in a Good Location

This is a quaint cottage close to the beach and downtown area with lots of shopping and dining options. We enjoyed Silver Beach and walking around downtown. After eating and shopping we were able to relax in the quiet neighborhood.

Perfect for our quick weekend trip to visit wineries. Clean and the beds were comfortable. If I had any criticism it would be the furniture was not very comfortable for sitting around. Good overall trip.

Overnight stay for a wedding

Everything was good. It was a little difficult for my 93 yr old mother to manage the walk to the porch. I would book again.
