This is the second time we’ve stayed here; perfect location and very well-maintained. Bedrooms are a good size and the house is very well stocked, including a high chair, baby gate, and pack-n-play. The storage shed has so many beach items (chairs, bikes, toys, boogie boards, beach cart, umbrellas/canopy) that makes the trip comfortable and fun for everyone. We would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful property so close to the beach!Beds are very comfortable, and the cottage is so charming. The kitchen is very small but very well stocked. There are a few maintenance items and repairs that need attention to make it a 5-star stay.

This is a gem of a place. The host is very responsive and proactive. The property is lovely, right on the beach - great place to see a nighttime rocket launch from Cape Canaveral. Four bedrooms that fit seven of us easily. Good kitchen and living room area. Plenty of parking. Overall a great experience.

Beautiful view

We enjoyed a beautiful view, just steps from the beach in the quaint and cozy Tatum House. A very relaxing stay. We walked the beach every morning, and were able to walk to the downtown and enjoy visiting some shops and restaurants.

Great house for a winter getaway with family. Cozy cottage right on the beach was close to town, restaurants and grocery store. Beautifully furnished with many thoughtful touches. Really hated to leave.

Perfect little beach house!

The views and access to the beach alone make this property a must stay. The inside was clean and beautifully decorated. Large parking area and many conveniences including a pack and play and high chair for baby! We enjoyed watching the sunrise each morning and watching the little turtles come out from the dunes!

chillly chill in NSB

Wonderful place, very clean and accommodating for six adults. It was a chilly week so we couldn’t take full advantage of the beach and all the patio furniture, but the place and location couldn’t be better!
