About the host

Host profile image
I have been an island native in CB for nearly 20 years! Helping guests have a comfortable and fun vacation is my job! I also sell real estate here on the island and help people relocate or find an investment property to make them money!

Why they chose this property

This house is such as central location to all things island related. You can escape the heavy crowds of the boardwalk area, but also in a short distance be in the middle of the fun. This location has the best of both worlds here on the island.

What makes this property unique

This house has a feel that is nostalgic and comfortable. You can unwind, relax, and be yourself at this beach cottage!
