Very nice place and location, happy with everything about it. Having a covered back porch was such a plus, allowing us to sit and enjoy the view even on a rainy day!

You're right on the beach! With littles in tow this was a huge blessing. Pop back inside for lunch - then right back to the beach :) Sweet, well appointed cottage, host is super responsive and kind. The outdoor shower and hoses to rinse of sandy toes are great! Beach toys & chairs & incredible views!

The house and hosts met or exceeded all of our expectations. All of the extras and upgrades to the home made the stay even better than we expected. We loved the place and it was perfect for our needs. The "starter" items made checking it a lot easier as we didn't have to run to the store right away and could hit the beach immediately which is only steps from the back porch. We were able to have our own private beach the way they have the walkway set up. We will definitely return when it is time for a beach getaway and some "Serenity".Thank YouThe Gray's

This place was absolutely beautiful!!! This was a trip to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. The view was perfect. There are not enough words to express how much we enjoyed staying. It was extremely clean and the location was perfect. It is like having your own private beach. You can not go wrong choosing this beach house. We would love to return in the future. Nothing short of a 10 star review.

This was our 2nd time staying here. 1st time Oct 2023. Me and my mom and Lacey had a great week. We love just watching the ocean and listening to it, hanging out on the beach and resting good at night. We only seen sharks this trip. Marsha is great keeping you inform about your visit before you get there. Everything is nice and clean and looks just like the pictures. I hope to go back next year. Thank You Marsha for sharing your lovely cottage
