We had an AMAZING stay here! The cottage was clean and so comfortable. The wonderful host checked in on us during the week and left little gifts for the kids. We left a couple belongings in a drawer when we left and she shipped them to us free of charge. 10/10 we would stay here again!

Cutest place to stay

Everything about our trip was easy. Communication with the property manager was efficient. The check in/out processes were seamless. The location of this rental was great. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go. The only time we use our vehicle was to drive down to a better location on the beach, the closest location to the rental is very rocky and not ideal for a beach day. It was a 5 minute drive and parking was easy to find. The rental was clean, well stocked with necessities and more spacious than I had expected. We would definitely book this location again!

Great place to stay

It was an easy 10 minute walk to the beach. There are a few narrow staircases for the public, we didn't have a problem finding it. Beach toys, chairs, towels, wagon, umbrella, boogie boards, surf boards were all available and in good shape. Loved the washer and dryer. All amenities were great. Fans and small ac units were great. Everything was clean and fully stocked. Jimene was wonderful to work with and even supplied us with a smaller cooler when I asked about it, which was very nice. Would recommend.

Close to Beach and Village

The place was very clean. I think it’s little tight for 10 people. We had 9 people (7 Adults and 2 kids). The property owner was great and responded to our requests in very timely manner. Also, the property is small so there isn’t enough eating space for everyone. There is a table out on the balcony but you can’t use it when it’s cold and rainy outside.

Place was very clean and nicely decorated. The host forgot to leave us toilet paper, he did message me telling me it was delivered to the downstairs unit, and they would bring it up , but we never received it . We had to go buy toilet paper. There is no central air, and every time you plugged in the air conditioners and tried to use anything else electrical the power would shut off. This happened 3 times while trying to watch a movie and intermittently throughout the weekend and it was annoying. We made the best of it despite the electrical issues. I would not stay again because of the electrical issues.

Jimene was an exceptional host. She was communicative and went the extra mile for some unforeseen bumps we experienced. The property is a great location and has everything you might need, especially for the beach. The toys in the bunk room were not expected, but were a pleasant surprise for the 5 kiddos. Our 2 families fit comfortably and it was definitely a trip to remember. We even met the downstairs tenant who was so sweet when I apologized for any noise we are causing with 5 kids. Thank you! It was perfect!

Just a three minute walk to the beach, and SO many little touches that made it an incredible stay! Having boogie boards, surfboards, beach,chairs, an umbrella, AND a wagon to bring it all to the beach with us was AMAZING!! Check in, check out, and communication could not possibly have been better! it was an incredible family vacation, and we are already planning to make this an annual stay!

About the host

Hosted by Jimene Bostick

Host profile image
This property is family owned and operated. The owners spent over a year professionally gutting and renovating this property floor to ceiling. A lot of love and hard work went into creating this property and continues in maintaining it. Before each guest arrives, the property is fully cleaned and disinfected, plus the property is then walked and checked meticulously by owners to ensure cleanliness, comfort, and of course a good time.

Why they chose this property

This neighborhood is unique and rare especially in the beach community. Here you will find ample street parking no matter what time of year. This neighborhood is extremely quiet and serene with many neighbors as original owners thus giving off a pride of ownership feel and a safe place to let your kids run free.

What makes this property unique

What is unique about this property is it was renovated for the owners to live here. Therefore no shortcuts or corners were cut when re-building this property. There is not much coastal land left to build upon so when this property became for sale, the owners wanted to jump on it because the location is the absolute BEST. The property is literally walking distance to three different public beach access points, walking distance to dining and shopping, and the local train station. The owners decided to keep it a duplex and not turn it into a single family home so that two families can live here/rent as needed. Or, the option of renting the entire place is also offered at a discounted price. Please message for details. Thank you for taking the time in reading this. May you enjoy and cherish the memories created at this property.
