Wonderful Beach House This was the nicest place we have ever stayed! The house was very clean and had so many amenities—we really only needed our personal items and groceries. They provided everything else we could possibly need. The beach was a short walk from the house. We love the beach here—calm clear water, shells galore, beautiful sunsets. You should absolutely book this house for your next vacation!

Fabulous Stay Wonderful place! Location was perfect for our long weekend. We enjoyed the cottage; the kayaks; the gas firepit; and proximity to beach, State Park and resturants. Owners were easy to get in contact and supplied lots of great extras to the cottage. Fabulous stay!

Beach lovers dream This cottage was absolutely amazing! Was exactly as advertised, just come with your bag. Everything else is provided. If you choose to cook in, just get your groceries and everything else is there for you. Great addition are the bikes and kayaks, we so enjoyed having these items available. We will be back with more family to enjoy this picture perfect place. Great job Jen and Eddie!!

Perfect piece of paradise We had a wonderful time at the property and it was even cuter than the pictures! We loved using the bikes and though we didn’t get to the kayaks we can’t wait to try them next time. The place was so clean and the beds super comfy. The space was perfect for our family and we loved the screened in porch and the outside spaces to hang in the morning and evening. We walked to the beach daily and biked to dinner at night. Will absolutely stay here again. A great layout inside and out and they thought of every detail!
