everything was nice and clean. the 2 cleaning ladies did an excellent job before we arrived!the beds, pillows, and linens were very comfortable, and we all slept peacefully.the beach cottage is SO WELL stocked! we literally did not need to go to the store to buy anything (besides personal items/food, obviously) bc they had it all! (plenty of tp, pt, towels, sunscreen, porch chairs, beach toys, condiments, coffee makers, toasters, knives, etc., etc.,)we never ate inside (even though they do have a nice dining table with chairs and benches for 6-8 inside) bc they had so much seating outside on the covered porch. the weather was perfect, (70's) especially for November, and as 4 women alone, we never felt unsafe. the location is on the very end of a small culdesac with public beach access. two on property parking spots are allocated for the cottage. there were no "riff raff" hanging around, and everyone walking by were so friendly.we slept with the windows open, and there were no loud parties or drunks walking by....just the relaxing ocean waves. down town is within walking distance...flat, even sidewalks, maybe an easy 10 minute stroll away. a lot of restaurants, coffee shops, and Albertsons, plus a DELICIOUS meat market.wifi was consistent although we didn't use it much, and there are a few tvs, however we never even turned one on!10/10, highly recommend, have already booked next year. thank you giac family for sharing your little slice of heaven with us!

Fantastic location - can't be beat. The place itself was clean and comfy and had everything we needed. Great communicative hosts as well. We loved the views, access to the beach and ocean, the whole town and how well the hosts prepared the space for their guests.

Giac's is truly a special place! The location is gorgeous and close to town, the hosts are communicative and gracious, the home was warm, spotless, and thoughtfully supplied. We enjoyed walks on the beach collecting shells and sea glass, lots of time swimming, fishing, excursions into town, reading on the couch, the sound of the waves as we fell asleep, sunrises and sunsets, family dinners, toes in the sand and so much more. We would recommend this home to others and would love to stay here again. Thank you, Giac’s, for your kindness and hospitality. What a perfect vacation!
Enjoy the most gorgeous sunsets!

Beach stay

Beach stay, for 3 days, was really good. The house is on the beach. They really try to make it a wonderful stay. I would stay at this location anytime. There are 2 parking spots on property.

We absolutely love staying at this house. We have stayed several times now and it just gets harder to leave. It is very clean and comfortable. The time spent sitting/eating on the large beachfront porch serenaded by the sound of the ocean waves just steps away is our favorite. I’ll miss the beach walks, dolphins, seals, and sunsets until next time.
