Plain outside, charming inside! Excellent use of space, very clean, lovely decor, well equipped, quiet, and pet friendly! The host leaves a book full of helpful instructions and information. A five-block (give or take) walk to the beautiful beach. We very much enjoyed our stay in this comfy and cozy vacation home.

This property is so homey and comfortable and very inviting. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. Food choices are amazing in the area and of course the beach was the best. My daughter and I felt very safe. Thank you again for the wonderful vacation

Everything was new and in great condition. It would have been nice to have a full length mirror as we were staying there for a wedding. I also would’ve preferred to have more outdoor lighting downstairs (under the house/driveway) as we got back both nights late.
