You'll get full check-in details before you arrive, and we're just a message or call away if anything comes up during your stay — whether that's a restaurant recommendation or the best time to catch the sunrise.

House Rules: No parties or large gatherings. No drugs or illegal substances. Violating these rules may result in fees or immediate eviction without a refund — we appreciate your help keeping things peaceful for everyone on the property.
Sound: This cottage has an open-ceiling layout between rooms, so sound carries easily. Great for families or close friends staying together — just know bedrooms won't be fully private acoustically.
Water: We're on well water — safe to drink, though some guests notice a metallic taste. Distilled water is available at nearby stores.
What to bring: toiletries, beach towels (we provide bath towels), charcoal if you're grilling, cooking basics like oil and salt, groceries, and a lighter or fire starters if you'll use the fire pit.
What we provide: coffee, dishwasher pods, trash bags, paper towels, two starter rolls of toilet paper, and firewood for the fire pit.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location
The location of this cottage was perfect for a beach vacation. Right on the sand and water Beautiful view. However there was no screen on the front door except a torn up cloth thing that did not work so unable to leave the door open to enjoy the beautiful view. Very inconvenient going in and out allowing swarms of flies to enter Bedroom doors did not close. One bedroom had no mirror while the other one had two. Toilet seat in very bad condition. I would return if the cottage was fixed up. I also rented cottage 2 next door for family. It was in better condition.
The property location was perfect. With the beach just outside our door and a wonderful view, it was what I needed to unwind. Two things stand out as being negative. First, the water inside was hard to get used to. It had an awful taste and bad smell. Had to brush my teeth using bottle water. Second was the lighting in the entire cabin. Every light seemed to be about 40 watts. It was almost impossible to read after the sun went down. The positive things were definitely the cost, the location, and very nice new windows. They were very easy to raise and lower. The beds were very comfortable and the living room was comfortable too. The kitchen was stocked with a variety of cookware and dishes. Suggestions to improve:Make sure the kitchen has a potholder. After heating something in the oven, I couldn’t find one and had to get a towel out of the bathroom to remove the hot pan. Get rid of tacky decor—like dirty, moldy looking wax fruit on kitchen table. No decor is better than decor that is uncared for. It was fun to sit around a campfire with neighbors. A very friendly group.
