Such a lovely beachfront cottage. It was clean, peaceful, and well appointed. My husband and I had such a nice relaxing stay. The views off the back porch were beautiful and the host was amazing with instructions and communication. We’d stay here again in a heart beat!
What a cozy and lovely home on the beach! Our family enjoyed the cleanliness, the decor, the little details and amenities as well as being close to nature and the privacy of the beach and its relaxing views. Tasha
This was a beautiful and cozy little beach house. Enjoyed three days here just relaxing and watching the surf. Beds were extremely comfortable. The decor was top-notch. Definitely stay here again. G. Miller
We had such a wonderful week at this beautiful beach house! We had everything we needed and the check in and out instructions were clear. I would definitely recommend this as a comfortable and delightful location for a quiet family vacation.
We loved our stay at the cottage. Weather was perfect and the place had all the basics available. Owner was very responsive and helpful with questions. We can’t wait to come back next summer.
Lovely house and location. Was lacking some staples like trash bags and toilet paper but otherwise perfect.

Hello,
Thank you for your review. We appreciate our guest providing feed back. Our goal is to provide our guest with a complementary starter supply of toilet paper, trash bags (one placed in the trash can and one under the sink), dish detergent, dishwasher pods, soap, coffee, tea, sugar, water and snacks. Again, thank you for your review.
This house was the perfect place for our 4th of July holiday. Clean, cozy, with everything you need. The beach in the backyard was convenient and peaceful and the neighborhood quiet and friendly.
We loved our stay at slaughter beach. This is our fourth summer coming to the area and we decided to upgrade our house to something bigger. We were not disappointed.
We loved having very friendly and welcoming hosts who communicated well and made check in super easy. We did feel that the property wasn't clean enough for the price point, and that was disappointing. The home is decorated beautifully and we saw some wonderful sunsets on the beach.

Hello,
I am so sorry the cottage was not up to your standards. We pride ourselves by going above & beyond and taking the nessesary measures to assure the expectations of our renters are met by not only hireing a very repuable cleaning service that is to clean and disinfect the propeerty, we have a property manager who performs an inspection after the home is cleaned.
We have addressed your comments with our staff and we thank you for bringg this matter to our attention.

A cozy, beautiful cottage with stunning views and relaxing beach. Took many long walks with kids and found whole conch shells. I’ll miss waking up to the sunrise over the bay. Host was very friendly and prompt with replies.
Wonderful site, right on the beach. Cute, renovated cottage with all the amenities. Perfect getaway for our family of four. Big thank you to the hosts.
