Good location and great beach. Nicely decorated and well stocked kitchen. Washer/dryer were a big plus. Excellent communication. Owners were very gracious after we informed them of a new home being built next door; noise was not an issue for us because we were out n about during their working hours. Our dogs loved the beach/ocean!

Super cute, salty little place right on the beach!! Very clean, comfortable, well appointed. Short drive to restaurants and shopping, but away from the bustle of the East End. Only drawback for us was the construction next door; the neighbors are building a house from the ground up, and beachside properties are often close together. We flew in on a Thursday and out on a Sunday—it’s quiet on weekends and evenings. We would definitely stay here again when that’s all wrapped up.

Unable to be outside as someone was building next door daylight to dusk. You could touch the house being built from theirs, so zero privacy outside. Constant noise from generators/hammers. Not their fault, but made it unenjoyable as we were stuck indoors. They finished day we left. Mix-up with cleaning crew. Cabin not cleaned. Had to go elsewhere until ready. Had surgery week prior, drove 4.5 hours. Not how I expected trip to start, but owners quickly took care of it. Beach access was fabulous. At night it was very quiet. Nice area.

This home was outstanding!! Have stayed in homes on the beach here many times, but never had so much attention from owners and so many extras such as coffee pods, bathroom extras and so on. My family and I loved this home and plan to return in the future. You can't get any more beachfront than this!! Spectacular!! Thank you Salt Air Cottage

While the house was well appointed and the location was wonderful, we were not told by the property manager until THE DAY we arrived that there was a large home being constructed a few feet away, next door.So if you are planning to go the beach in the next several months, do not expect to hear the waves of the ocean and the seagulls. While in the rental you will hear hammers, electric saws and drills, all the stuff….even on Saturday.Sunday was quiet!
