A lovely cottage with everything you need! Location is fantastic and close to everything that we needed! A gem of a find and will definitely stay again!
Liked the privacy of the property. Loved the screened in porch. Water pressure was not enough for showering. Tv in master bedroom needs to be wall mounted up high. Loved it was very clean.
The view was the incredible. Many little details to show care - beach toys, beach towels, blankets, dog bowl, etc.

The cottage was everything we hoped for, peaceful with amazing sunsets. All the conveniences near by with good restaurants. Next time we will go fishing!
Perfect place to unwind and unplug. Wonderful views of the bay from sunrise to sunset. Great place to bring kayaks and bicycles. We had a great time here just relaxing.
What a wonderful gem of a place! Fabulous location and so peaceful and beautiful directly on the water! We had a wonderful fire in the outdoor fire pit and the house had everything we needed for our stay. The hosts kept in touch and were easy to communicate with. Great stay. I’d definitely return for a longer stay!!!
Awesome little hideaway! Peaceful retreat to rejuvenate with top shelf sunsets, amazing. Close to restaurants, sea lab, Mash’s Sand beach, Alligator Point and State park. Host was super too.
We loved this little cottage for Thanksgiving....peaceful and quiet alternating with having family visit for meals. Close to a beach for nice long walks.
The location was perfect, right on the water, very quiet and relaxing. The cottage had everything you needed for your stay. Just what I was looking for. My furbabies enjoyed it as well.
We had a wonderful time here. We had to leave a couple of days early due to our own circumstances at our home, and it was so hard to leave. It’s quiet and we spent a lot of time on the screened in porch watching the birds, fish and squirrels. The white squirrel visited every morning. Our pets loved the little beach. You must go to Mashes Sands Beach and to the beach on Bald Point Rd. It is a nesting area for horseshoe crabs. If you don’t want crowds and are looking for a peaceful place to relax and unwind, this is the place for you. We’re hoping we can go back in the near future.
