We had a fantastic time at this adorable cottage. The view was amazing, and the beach right outside the back door was a dream. Elly was very responsive and so kind. Highly recommend!

Perfect little beachfront cottage right on the water ...a few steps across your own beach. We had a very relaxing, comfortable visit.

The location was superb - the house was pretty well stocked - would just recommend some decent kitchen knives and a blanket for each room as it got pretty chilly. Overall a great rental property - would definitely rent it again!

Thanks for your suggestion, kitchen knifes can be changed and there is blanket for each bedroom, either on the shelf or under bed storage drawer. Thanks.

Property was double booked upon arrival. Elly never answered the phone nor messages sent. Had to find a different place to stay in a sold out area. Even had groceries delivered and had no where to put them.

We had the absolute best time! The property is right on the beach and you just can’t beat the view from your porch. Our toddlers loved being able to go back and forth throughout the day and it had all the amenities we could have asked for, even double ply toilet paper! Ely was a wonderful host and we’re looking forward to staying again in the future!
