About this property
The Salty Snail - Oceanfront Cottage
Our beautiful cottage comfortably sleeps six. Spacious deck highlights the amazing oceanfront views. Spacious gathering room and all stainless appliances. Beds made and linens/towels provided for each guest. Huge back porch boasts outdoor dining area, adirondack chairs, outdoor shower and private beach access.
Our cottage is clean, bright and beachy. There are beautiful, light floors throughout and ceramic tile in the bathroom.
The primary suite yields a queen bed, the secondary holds a full and the third bedroom holds a trundle bed with two twin beds.
There is plenty of parking and an outdoor shower so that you can rinse off coming from the beach.
The deck is a great place to watch the dolphins frolic in the morning or to sip a glass of wine and watch the waves roll in.
Being oceanfront, you can't get any closer to the beach!
Guests have full access to the whole house. All living areas, bedrooms, carport on ground floor, and deck with an unmatched ocean view off of the main living area!
Rentals are a 3 day minimum. Please message me if you would like to book a shorter stay in between longer bookings already blocked on the calendar.
Stays include linens (sheets, bath towels and beach towels). Beach toys, beach chairs, boogie boards and Shibumi Shade are all available for your stay as well!
High speed internet and WiFi is available throughout the home. Smart TVs are present in the main living area and two of the three bedrooms. We provide Spectrum TV and you'll also have access to your main streaming providers if you would like to login!
We love pets, but unfortunately, they are not allowed.
Please reach out with any booking questions. We are here to help!
