About this property

Cottage on the Beach

Charming beach cottage located right on the water with direct access to beach crossing and endless stunning views of the bay. Spacious open floor plan with plenty of sunshine and room to relax. Features full screened in porch with open decks on the front and back of the cottage. Great space to hang out in the evening, listen to the waves and enjoy a cold cocktail.
Convenient location for anyone who loves the beach - this cottage is best enjoyed outdoors. If you love the beach, hanging on the deck, and using the outside shower - this cottage is for you. If you are looking for a new home decorated with Pottery Barn, it is down the street.
Plenty of off-street parking.
New in 2022, central air conditioning added to the entire cottage.
New in 2023, two brand new decks on the front and back and a new outdoor shower.

Happy Place
We spent a long weekend at the Lawsons' lovingly maintained beachfront cottage. Everything was clean, comfortable, and in very good working order. The new bathroom and new decking made the place feel sold cared for. I loved the enclosed porch with a giant table overlooking the beach, and of course loved having the dog-friendly beach just a few steps away. There were only two of us (plus T-Bone!), but I could see the cottage being a nice space for 4-5 guests. Todd the owner was friendly and responsive. Would totally rent again!

About the host

Hosted by The Lawsons

Host profile image
This is a family owned cottage that we stay in when we do not rent it during the season. The cottage is "well loved" and great for families looking to chill out at the beach, read a book, or enjoy appetizers on the porch. The cottage is not huge, perfect size for a family of 6-8 people. It has one bathroom so that is always a pinch point. But you can't beat the access...we are right at the edge of the dune. 30 seconds and you're at the water's edge.
