Thank you, Heather, for your wonderful 5-star review! We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay and that the home met your expectations. It means a lot to hear that everything was just as described. We truly appreciate you choosing our home and would love to welcome you back for another beach getaway anytime! 🌊🏖️
My wife and I enjoyed a few days of fishing, shell searching and collecting, wonderful seafood and amazing sunsets! We will certainly be back! The kitchen could use a few more items, but other than that it was perfect for our needs! The owner was very responsive to any questions we had. 5 stars.
We very much enjoyed our stay, it was me, my wife, and our 3 elementary age children and we had plenty of room. Location was great, will book here again.
Great location steps from the beach. Very family friendly and a wonderful, relaxing vacation.

This quaint two bedroom townhouse was the peaceful relaxing time I needed. The decorations were so neat and the views from both balconies were spectacular. I really enjoyed it.

Thank you for your 5-star review and your comments about our place. We appreciate your feedback and we are thankful you chose our place to stay when you vacationed. We hope to have you back again.
The house was wonderful. Beautiful views . It was very clean and only a short walk to the ocean. I also appreciate the fact that animals are not allowed. I am very allergic to animals and have a hard time finding a place to stay so we will definitely be back !
Short walk to the beach and a quiet area. Had an issue with the hvac one morning and the owners were extremely quick to fix the problem.
Had a wonderful time.

Thank you Abe for the review! We look forward to having you again! FYI… I rated you 5 Stars but for some reason the overall is 4. I’m not sure what happened unless I hit the 4 star by accident. You all were definitely 5star guest and VRBO won’t allow me to change it.
Perfect location; short short walk to the beach! Cleanliness was good. Kitchen was loaded! Loved having beach chairs there. Beds were comfortable! Overall had a fabulous vacation. No issues and would definitely stay again
There were two couples of us, almost empty nesters, who were looking for an early fall get away, and Beechwood Cottage was ideal. We loved the location, the views, and the comfortable home. We especially enjoyed the screened-in porch - a perfect spot to hang out any time of day. I just hope we'll get to return time and time again.

Hi Kelly, We are so glad you enjoyed your stay and hope you return soon.
Everything went well with Beachwood Cottage. It was close to the beach and had everything we needed to be comfortable.
The only problem we had was there was no hot water in the master shower.

Thank you for your review. I would have loved to have known of the hot water issue during your stay so I could have fixed the problem. I will get with my plumber to address the issue. We hope you chose to come back.
What a great week we had at the Cape! The home was very clean, beds were very comfortable, all the amenities you could ask for and great beach access ( just steps to the beach). Brittany was fantastic to work with, always prompt with her responses & very accommodating! Would highly recommend this place and plan on staying again! Thank you for sharing your little slice of heaven with our family ❤️

Andrea,
Thank you for the kind words. Very happy to hear you and your family enjoyed your stay. We would love to have you back anytime!
House was clean, very nicely decorated and had all the needed supplies at hand. We went to relax and that is exactly what we did. There are a couple of food places close but the others are about 25 minutes away but we drove for pizza and it was delicious. . The beach was just a few steps away was not busy at all. We had a great time!!

Hi Alan, We are glad to hear you enjoyed your stay at Beechwood Cottage. Thank you for letting us know about the garbage disposal. We have replaced it now. Hope to have you again.
First of all the house was absolutely perfect for us. It was me, my husband, and our 18 year old son and his friend. We had the perfect amount of space and the short walk to the beach was so nice and convenient. We had anything and everything we could have needed in the house for our time there. House owners were super easy to contact and quick to respond when I had questions. The beach and water is beautiful this location and so peaceful with not a lot of crowds. This was my favorite vacation home to date and I will definitely be coming back!
