I don't know why we were asked to do laundry when we're paying for house keeping to do it.

The stay was nice. But the house had 1 front window & the picture showed 2. The picture was enhanced. Those were the only 2 deception.

Wonderful location to Seawall as well as the Strand. Perfect size home for 3to 4 guests.Super comfty beds soft linens and plenty of extra blankets if needed. Through the garage out the back door an outside shower perfect for rinsing off prior to going inside and also so you don't feel sandy more than necessary.. win win.Owner very communicative kind and open to requests.Full kitchen gas stove fullsize refrigerator. Awesome water pressure. A gesture of chocolate chip cookies greeted us on the table.Access for single car garage use. We felt safe and welcomed here. Hope to rent again.Thanks for your hospitality.

Night before cruise

We absolutely loved the place and the host was amazing. We were left a brand new box of delicious cookies to enjoy as a gift for staying and also a cute ornament to put sand and shells in! The cottage itself was very clean and cozy! Check in and out was super easy and having a garage to park your car in was a plus as well. Location was perfect, especially for cruisers. Took less than ten minutes to get to the port! It was a great experience for sure, and I 10/10 would definitely stay here again and recommend it.

Overall clean and well kept house; owners was thoughtful Left cookies for us. The house is abit older. Lots of nice personal touches and kids toys and beach stuff to use. We didn’t use any because the weather was cold and we were only there for 1 short night. The washing machine and dryer was nice to have.
