Im a sucker for beach nostalgia and this place had it. Great location and public access is right across the street. You are near a bit of everything and literally 150 ft away is an awesome ice cream shop. Hosts go above and beyond on communication which is awesome.

This was a a nice place to stay. It has a great cottage style feel to it and convenient and easy beach access.It worked out great for Me,my wife and daughter.the back yard was set for relaxing outdoor entertainment with 3 grills, picnic table, and of course my daughters favorite the hammock in the shade.Even though we brought our own there were a lot of things there for renters to enjoy for entertainment around the house such as cornhole & darts and for beach use.A lot of things people by for the beach and don’t have room to take home.The Host was very responsive for contact.Would definitely stay there again.

We too love the backyard under the shaded oak trees. It’s a wonderful place to read a book and getting fresh fish from the Blackburn seafood to grill is a must!
