Beautiful setting, comforts of home.
My sweet Momma is the reason the beach is my happy place. It’s her favorite place to be .. she is now 81 with mobility challenges. It’s always my goal to take her to the beach for her birthday and finding places she can be comfortable and still enjoy the environment has become a challenge. This is our second stay in this beautiful cottage. It’s a home away from home with easy access to our favorite memories. I can still take her for a walk on the beach during the day and tuck back into this cozy home after. God willing I will be bringing her back soon. Everything we need, always clean, beautiful views . Backroads everywhere we want to go so we can avoid traffic. Love this place. Thank you for sharing the comforts of home !

Amazing little gem
Situated on a top of the ridge, you can see the ocean in the morning and enjoy your morning coffee and towards the afternoon you can have a beer while enjoying the mountain views in the back patio. Very relaxing and secluded, highly recommended to escape the stress of the bay.
