An adorable, clean, fun little spot close to the beach. The kitchen was well equipped - very close to a local Food Lion for groceries. You can tell the host was very thoughtful in furnishing and setting up the rental! We enjoyed our stay.

A little further from the beach than I had hoped, but the property was otherwise perfect. I rented a golf cart and got where I needed to go. The decor was beautiful and well comfortable. Love this house and hopefully I’ll visit again soon.
If you like granola, this is the best I’ve had. Hippie Chick Granola Co. is a few blocks away!

Wonder beach cottage

The cottage was just right for a relaxing getaway. We loved sipping coffee and enjoying the gentle breeze, while swinging on the porch swing. Short drive to the public beaches and the pier. The owners were super nice and quick to respond to my questions. Definitely plan to stay again.
