Perfect little getaway

The location is perfect and only like a 5-10 minute walk to the beach. The porch is nice to relax on and you get to see the ocean in the distance. The kitchen is well stocked and the king bed is probably the most comfortable bed I have ever slept on!

It was comfortable to sleep, but the ants were terrible and prevented us from using the kitchen fully. They were in the microwave, coffee pot and the refrigerator. We were told the ants were bad in other properties too.

Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025

Response from VrboOwner on 14 Jan 2026

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you experienced an issue with ants during your stay. During periods of rain, ants can occasionally seek shelter indoors. We did check our records and did not find any calls or messages regarding this concern while you were at the property. Had we been notified, we would have been more than happy to come by promptly to address the issue, clean the affected area, and place ant traps as needed. We apologize for the inconvenience you experienced and appreciate you bringing this to our attention so we can continue to improve the guest experience.

This is the perfect cottage if you want close to the beach and have a cozy stay! It was clean and well stocked with cooking supplies and the owner/property manager was incredibly responsive and helpful. Very pleased with my interactions. This cottage is small, perfect for maybe 3 people. Best part is it isn’t right on the beach and away from the cars coming in on a busy weekend. We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend and would go back.
