Such a cozy house right near the beach! We spent the week getting up and making the short walk to the beach each day and couldn't have been happier. The property manager was so communicative and made the stay so easy. Would definitely stay here again!

We enjoyed everything about the property, comfortable, well equipped, close to shopping, restaurants and easy access to the beach.
Lil Fret was comfy and provided all the necessities. Close to beach, grocery store and putt putt! Family and I enjoyed our time and communications was great.

Retreat at Lil Fret
We loved Lil Fret! It was a short walk to the beach and mini golf! Super close to grocery stores and all the beach essentials. Living room was just the right size to sit around and play card games and have conversations. We had 5 teens and 2 adults and we were comfortable. The outdoor shower was awesome for getting everyone clean after coming back from the beach. We are thinking of coming back with our family and can’t recommend this place enough.

Great location awesome screened porch
We loved the house. Very clean and well equipped. The screened porch was our favorite. So close to the ocean. The bed was comfortable and the house is nicely furnished.
