Our stay was very comfortable with everything we need at a convenient distance. We were able to park in the garage and having the chairs/toys/boogie boards was a nice perk.

This property was perfect for a relaxing girls' weekend!! Super close to the water, absolutely EVERYTHING you would need to enjoy the surrounding beaches, very clean, nicely appointed!!! I will mark this property a "favorite" for future trips.
Just as pictured, close to everything, something for everyone and when your 10 yr old and 15 year old are both happy it’s a win for everyone. Would definitely stay here again.

Cottage de La Peninsula
Small older beach house near the ocean. We used the beach chairs once, though the weather was cool for April. Second street has nice shops and restaurants.
