Well appointed over-the-garage unit

Rachel’s place was very clean. Had everything we needed to enjoy the beach (2 beach chairs and umbrella, beach towels) which was just a short walkThe area was very quiet. So was the beach access. We could see it was much busier around Mickler Beach

Relaxing beach getaway

We had a wonderful stay at the cottage! The cottage was very clean, with luxe decor & the hosts had thoughtful touches such as snacks & beverages as well as beach chairs & an umbrella available for use. We took advantage of the short walk to the beach with several walks & some beach time. We hope to return to this cute cottage next time we are in the area!
