The property was tucked away in a quiet neighborhood and it felt like a very private oasis all to myself. It was exceptionally clean and perfectly cozy for me to stay in for a few days. I would definitely stay again if I am ever in the area!

The place is wonderful—very cozy and comfortable. My husband, our teenage daughter, our dog, and I stayed here and really enjoyed it. It looks like the unit has been recently remodeled, and while the photos don’t exactly match, the overall feel is the same—actually, it’s even better in person. It’s more spacious than expected, the bathroom is clean, and the remodeled kitchenette is cute, usable, and convenient.The house is situated in a quiet neighborhood. It was a bit of an adventure walking my dog and finding paths around the area. The beach is about a 20-minute walk.For the price this rents out, I would recommend adding a Keurig coffee maker and some basic utensils. I made dinner and then realized there were no utensils, which was a bit frustrating. I’m sure we could have reached out since the hosts were responsive, but we didn’t.Another small suggestion would be to add a foldable dining table.Overall, I would definitely recommend staying here.
