Perfect for our family of 4. 100% recommend for any smaller family with younger children that can share a bed. Short walk to the beach and drive to all the hottest spots in town. Pet friendly but pets are not allowed on the beach. I plan to rent again next year!

We have stayed at this cottage for the past two years and have loved staying here. It’s not but a few minutes walk to restaurants, the beach and the Hangout.

This was the perfect place to stay for a couple of days at the beach. We did the NCAA volleyball tournament and it was a quick walk to the gate. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was perfect to cook in after a long day in the sand! We can’t wait to book this again for next year!! If you are looking for a beach getaway, this place is perfect.

We really enjoyed our stay! The house is quite small, but was perfect for us as a couple. The home is pet friendly and has a yard area for them. The home is super close to everything, with many attractions (and the beach) within walking distance! Everything was clean. Communication from the host was minimal but we had no issues with our stay so I can't reflect on host responsiveness. Overall, it was a great stay!
