Perfect Getaway Cottage

We were really impressed with this cute cottage and the proximity to the clean and lovely beach. It was so nice to have all the beach gear and we also enjoyed the private patio area out in the back. My husband and I stayed here so our 2 adult sons, who live nearby, could join us. Bob was a very gracious host and we'd love to go back again!

Wonderful Stay!

Location location location! We absolutely loved our stay at this quaint house! It was a short walk to the beach and we loved that you could see the ocean from the kitchen. We had our 3 year old with us and I was able to keep an eye on him easily inside the house, which was perfect! Bob was such a gracious host checking in on us via text and then came to our door to check out the eclipse. It was a very memorable stay and we will definitely be back!

Immaculate Little Guest House by the Beach

We are a family of four adults, and we were in town for a family gathering over the holiday weekend. The guest house was perfect for us - clean, cozy, quiet. We loved being 1/2 block away from the beach, the peek of the water through the kitchen window, the faint sound of the surf at night. The location is convenient while also being situated in a quiet residential neighborhood. Bob is a great host - helpful and communicative, someone who clearly takes good care of his property and his guests. Wonderful!
