Wonderful private cottage with all the comforts of home. Well stocked kitchen, multiple places to rest, play games, watch movies. But the yard and surrounding area are the real treasure! So peaceful and secluded. Saw deer and all manner of birds from the backyard. A gem of a place! A perfect spot to reset.

It doesn't feel private when the host is monitoring you with a camera pointed at the front yard and driveway.
Stayed 14 nights in Mar 2026
Response from VrboOwner on 8 April 2026
The camera is there to monitor the activity outside of the guest activity. It is in a very remote area. When you booked the place it told you the place was monitored by cameras, as most places are these days. I rent through Airbnb/ VRBO sites all the time and I read. I can see if the home is monitored. Shouldn't have been a surprise to you.

This place was perfect for my family (4 kids, 6 years and under). Everything was clean, beach within walking distance (not super clear, but great sand and tons of oyster shells!). The yard was awesome and the kids had great fun running around. Kitchen had everything we needed and the rooms worked great. Awesome place!

Peaceful and quaint getaway

With two young kids, this was a great place to take them to the beach without the hustle and bustle of a touristy area. The state park surrounding the cottage is a beautiful backdrop. The cottage has everything you need and is well maintained with added amenities. Watch for deer and wildlife outdoors! Beach is close with convenient access. Would stay again.
