Such a cute little cottage. Although pets are allowed, they can not use the grass area in photos for potty-you have to walk them to the street which can be a chore with all the neighborhood pups out and about. They are also not allowed on the furniture which wasn’t an issue for us, but doesn’t seem very “pet friendly”. It is an easy walk to the beach access and dog park. Longer walk or quick drive to food and shops. Dogs are also welcome at several restaurants. We enjoyed our stay and will be back!

We’re thrilled to hear you found the cottage cute and enjoyed the easy access to the beach, nearby dog park, and local pet-friendly dining spots. We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding our pet policies. While we love welcoming furry family members, our rules regarding furniture and lawn preservation are in place to ensure the home and grounds remain clean, comfortable, and allergen-conscious for every guest who visits. We understand that walking your pups to the street can take extra effort, especially with neighborhood activity, and we appreciate your care in following those guidelines during your stay. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we look forward to welcoming you back for another relaxing coastal getaway!
