The place was as described, very clean, walking distance to the beach and restaurants and very well equipped. The neighborhood is safe and quiet. Perfect for a family, as they had a room with bunk beds, sand toys, bikes, wagons, and outside showers. Would love to stay again, we had a great weekend.

The perfect beach getaway! We loved every bit of it: location is great, the beach bungalow is fabulous! Super clean and has everything you need. The patio was great additional place to hangout. We would go again anytime! Highly recommend, you don’t want to pass this place up. Only exception is I don’t want too many people to stay there because I want to stay there again!

Great little house! It had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend. A variety of restaurants within walking distance. Spent a day on the beach which is right down the road and another afternoon walking on all the nearby trails. Love the fact that we could do it all without having to move the car once!

Stayed for a girls weekend and could not have asked for a better bungalow and location. We walked every day on the beach and around town and slept like logs in the cozy beds. We all wished we didn’t have to leave. We will be back!
