Ideal location as the name says, steps to the beach, but also close to bars restaurants, shops while not too close to the crowded noisy spots. Nice recent remodel so new and clean and comfy. Front yard was a very nice place to relax. Laundry and onsite parking was big plus. Note garage is tiny so requires a mini carsize. We loved our stay and the host was super! I highly recommend.

We really enjoyed staying at this cottage and just steps from the beach, what a plus!!We found it clean and had all the basics to keep the two of us comfortable for our 3 day stay. We absolutely LOVED the rain shower head, so much so, we'll be getting one!!And we really enjoyed having a private front yard, to sit and enjoy a morning coffee or evening beverage! A lovely space for sure.Beach chairs and an umbrella were available (thank goodness) and having a laundry available at no extra charge was appreciated!Parking in that area is a bit tight, so I'm glad we brought our smaller car!And the staff was quick to respond to any question we had.Thanks for a great stay!
