The house was lovely! Everything was perfectly clean. The couch and beds are really comfortable, the showers are great, the complimentary snacks were delicious. I texted the host a few times with queries and they always replied immediately. Great place!

Great house near beach and bars

Well stocked house and great for a family beach trip! It was a nice central location for both beach and bars/restaurants. Also was a short walk to the lake which has vendors and other events on the weekend. Really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely stay again!

Great place to stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Little Blue. The house was super clean and all the amenity were excellent. The AC worked great and it was fun to have an screened in porch and lawn to play games on. It was close enough to walk to the beach, yet far enough away to avoid the normal beach town bustle. We plan to return again in a couple of years.

Making Each Day Count

After losing a loved one suddenly you need to carry the tradition and continue on. This sweet house was perfect for what we were going through. Reservations made in January but met all our needs! Comfortable beds, kitchen well stocked and close to downtown. Super family cottage!

Very Nice House in a Very Good Location

We found the house to be very clean and well set up for our stay. The location is excellent for access to the beach and the town. The bed we used was comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked with the usual equipment and everything worked the way it was supposed to. Often when staying at a rental the hosts leave a small welcome gift of, say, coffee but in this case we were provided with coffee, cookies, cinnamon loaf and dog treats. All very nice. It is no surprise this house has received glowing reviews.

It was a perfect relaxing stay. The check-in is very easy with the code however, arriving even just a few minutes prior to check in time does not help as it is programmed to open only at that time.The house layout is perfect, allowing privacy for everyone and the big large family gathering room by the kitchen allows for a nice family timeSome sweet food gifts were awaiting us, which was a very nice touch. We had a problem with the barbecue hose and the owner replaced it within 10 minutes, which was awesome.The large front porch was very convenient to store beach items without dragging them inside keeping the house cleaner plus the hose by the steps to rinse off was a good thingThe kitchen is very well equipped with plenty of suppliesLocation is great for family with teenagers who were able to walk to the boardwalk without taking the car or to the beach.There was absolutely no disappointment at all, highly recommend.

Most relaxing stay ever....

This house has everything! These owners have either been renters themselves for a while or have been renting for a while and listen to the feedback from their renters. Every detail was taken care of! The house was just as described allowing plenty of room for three adults and three children. There were plenty of towels to go around and they had beach towels and a beach bag available to use. There were also plenty of soaps...laundry, dish and body and I DID NOT HAVE TO MAKE A MAD RUN TO THE STORE FOR TP!!! That is priceless! :) The kitchen was well stocked...down to storage containers with matching lids! Another big win for those that opt to cook! And the kitchen was well organized...very user friendly. This was also the first house I have rented that had a hose available for use. With three kids at the beach it is great to be able to hose off feet and sand toys after a day in the sand. Also, I was able to fill up the kids little pool so they could enjoy some splashing while the adults relaxed on the screened in porch. Win, win!! Everyone had a great time and we would definitely rent again!
