Well Stocked and Convenient Location

We had a great stay! The home was well stocked and had plenty of towels and toiletries just in case you forgot something. The yard size is amazing, since it is a double lot, and plenty of outdoor seating. Would stay again!

Great House

This was a perfect cozy little beach house with all the amenities you need and then some for outside. The yard is huge for a beach house and beds were all comfortable which is not always the case in vacation rentals. Communication was easy and great! Would definitely stay here again and recommend!

Very nice

We loved it here. They had everything you need for entertaining everyone. The neighborhood is on the beach so the drive from the house to the beach was very quick. Loved the outside area under the house and porch seating was nice up top. Would highly recommend. We will be back.

Our Favorite Place to Stay

We always love staying at this property. It’s 3 blocks from the ocean, very roomy, clean, and the property has a lot of things to enjoy. We had fun playing domino’s outside enjoying the cool weather and hearing the ocean breeze. Daniel is always super quick to respond to any questions we have. Staying at this property is like a home away from home! Highly recommend this location!!!

Sea Glass Cottage is fabulous!

My daughter and I plan to return to this spot. Calling this beautiful and updated beach home a “cottage” is a bit deceiving! The fenced yard is massive and the entertainment area is well arranged and stocked for days of family fun!

Veterans getaway

Awesome last minute stay! Buddy of mine came to visit for Veterans Day and this was a last second booking, and it was everything and more. Even though the rain was non-stop(can’t do anything about that) we stayed dry and comfortable the whole time under the massive patio spaces. Access to the smoker was the perfect centerpiece for catching up and trading stories. Can not recommend this spot enough!

Comfy stay during the holidays

Daniel was very communicative making it easy to check in and check out. The house was clean and had everything we needed for a couple days and there was just enough space from grandparents to grandkiddos. Loved all the games and toys so we didn’t have to bring them. Easy access to the beach was great too. Thanks again!

The property was a great location and easy to get to the beach. I loved the outdoor games and covered patio since we had rain. I am thankful that I brought some of the dishes that I needed from home as there are no casserole pans or oven type dishes I needed. I wish I would have brought some of the serving utensils that I needed from home. Otherwise, everything that we needed was available.
