Family Beach Cottage with perennial flower garden, screened porch and small open deck with plenty of seating. Four blocks from ocean, in the middle of the resort boardwalk area, close to restaurants. Within easy walking distance of the 24th St stage, the Neptune statue, the new Dome concert venue and wave pool. It is about 8 walking blocks from the Convention Center and Athletic Center. In the summer, free entertainment along Atlantic Ave in the evenings provided by Beach Events. Two bedrooms, lovely décor. South bedroom holds a beautiful cast-iron canopy QUEEN bed custom-made for the Pink House by Levin's Brass Beds of Virginia. North room holds FULL-size bed with a SINGLE-size roll-away underneath, new mattresses and pillows. Total, the cottage should be able to sleep a family of 5 comfortably, depending on the size and needs of the individuals. Linens are provided and beds made for you for your arrival so you don't have to do anything. *Be aware that full-size bed may not fit larger guests comfortably. The house might only then fit 3. We count on your experience to know your own needs. Main room has a dresser and the second room has shelf, small closet with portable racks for hanging wet clothes and towels. Appliance-equipped kitchen for cooking complete meals (no ice-maker or dish-washer), microwave, crock pot, and 2 types of coffee maker, handy for those traveling with special diet restrictions or busy families. Small backyard, no fence. Dining/living areas, tv, high-speed internet, Netflix and cable, central air, fireplace for off-season. Games, books, and drawing items for use. Grocery store and coin laundry just 1/2 mile away towards the north. Day street parking in front of the house (we provide Guest Pass for nearby overnight public garage parking. Fee only if you lose the pass. Garage is inbetween cottage and the beach within 1/4 mile. The city will not give guest passes to STRs any longer, starting in 2025) Flowers almost all year 'round, changes by the Owner's whim or Mother Nature's mood swings. Cleaning costs have already been included (some as part of daily fee, some as one time prep). Cozy 100% cotton linens provided with one fee per stay, beds will be made for arrival, one bath and one beach towel per guest (cost remains constant year-round). Kitchen linens provided. Reasonable amount of toilet paper and soap as well (We do not guarantee supply for stay. It's been surprising variety in demand). This cottage is like having an aunt with a beach house. Please enjoy yourselves and say hello to the neighbors. It's the Virginia thing to do!
*CLEANING: Since the Covid-19 shut-down, we have been cleaning and painting at the cottage. Our housekeeper has asthma so we do not make a habit of using harsh chemicals in the house unless absolutely needed. In addition to our normal system of using mild cleansers, we are finishing all guest preparation by wiping down 'touchy' surfaces like handles and light switches with alcohol disinfectant as we walk out the door and lock it behind us. Sheets, towels, and pillowcases will be washed. Blankets and coverlets will be run through a hot dryer, just for sanitation (they don't typically need to be washed after every use). We have removed most of the rugs in the house to make it easier to clean. Chairs were switched out to hard surfaces that are easier to wipe down. Be aware that there is no dishwasher in the house. If you feel uncomfortable using the supplied housewares, please bring paper plates, etc.
We are doing our best to provide you with a safe and comfortable environment during your stay. Please keep us in mind as well, and as much as we would like to host you, please do not come unless you are symptom free. Selma the house-keeper cares for the elderly in her other job. It is very important she stays healthy. We are grateful for your co-operation.
