The house was perfect for our family of 4, we loved being so close to everything as we prefer to walk. The house was exactly as described, the location is perfect. The host was very responsive but not intrusive, we would absolutely stay here again.
You can watch the ocean from the porch and access to the beach is a two minute walk away. Property had everything we needed for a wonderful week at the beach with two children (3 and 7). Owner was great with communication and check in was a breeze. AC kept the house cool on hot days and the internet was easy to set up and fast. Great location, great property, would recommend.
This was the perfect cottage for us at the beach. We were here a great deal of the summer and enjoyed it so much! The cottage has everything you would ever need! Porch with ocean view, full kitchen, washer/dryer, 3 bedrooms, and 2 tv's. What more could you ask for? It was great! Tim, the owner was very helpful. We had a problem with the internet on Sunday and he took care of it immediately! Thanks Tim for being so accommodating!
We stayed here 12 nights, and everyone was so pleased with the accommodations. We especially liked the 2 bathrooms, 2 t.v.'s, the washer/dryer, location, and porch!
We LOVED this house! Awesome porch - safe for kids, nice table & chairs- very relaxing.
Great inside, has everything you need- a lot of fans, great breeze
Definitely returning!

Why they chose this property
This house has been in my family for several generations and I grew up spending summers at this house and Short Sands Beach. It's the perfect spot for a family looking to spend time at the beach. Steps from the sand, you can be on the beach or back at the house in minutes so it makes having kids there easy.
