About this property

Rustic 1960's Oceanfront Cottage With Modern Updates


This charming 1960's Cottage is a 4 bedroom / 2 bathroom single story home. The Oceanfront location has approximately 1200 square feet, renovated bathrooms with tile showers while the home maintains the original 1960's charm with Hardwood Floors in the bedrooms and Vaulted Beam ceilings throughout the home. The kitchen is mostly original, handmade cabinets, so no Granite or Marble Counter tops, but fully functional. The beds were fitted throughout with QUALITY Mattresses, so you will wake up feeling refreshed and ready for a day of fun.

Housekeeping/cleaning fee for all rentals is $150.00 Cancellation insurance available through VRBO. Damage Protection Insurance of $89 may be purchased through VRBO in lieu of $400 refundable deposit
Linen Charge of $125/stay is required during peak season and automatically included for all rentals.

In peak season from Memorial Day through Labor Day, the Changeover date is Saturday, booked by the week.
As we use the home frequently ourselves, we occasionally make minor updates to the furnishings and decor, so check back regularly for updates.

We do not allow animals of any kind, as an accommodation to several allergen sensitive repeat guests.

Our two week stay at this quaint cottage was peaceful & fantastic. It reminded me of beach cottages from the 60s & 70s. The accommodations were wonderful, & the beds were so comfortable. The owner, Pete, was attentive, available, & very personable. We will definitely be back next summer!

Rustic older home with great view of the ocean. The cottage was neat and clean with fresh linen waiting for our arrival. We did find a leak from the dishwasher and informed the owner who tried to fix it. Although, it wasn't fixed during our stay, we didn't find this as a problem. When we plan another beach vacation on the east coast, we will definitely stay there again.

About the host

Hosted by Pete Chilberg

Host profile image
We're a local family who live only 40 minutes away in Hampstead and check on the house regularly to ensure everything is functioning properly. We enjoy the home during the weeks and weekends that it is not rented, and enjoy working on projects such as refinishing furniture, redecorating, or just shelling during the off season. While we've owned several long-term rentals for many years, this is our only beach property. Our objective is to learn from your feedback so that you'll want to come back year after year. While I am new to the Vacation Rental business, I'm a full time Mortgage Banker who built my business through referrals and repeat business from past customers. We know that your satisfaction is the key to our success.

Why they chose this property

The home is a very affordable Oceanfront property that is well maintained with a blend of 1960's Cottage with wood paneling, and the modern conveniences of wifi, cable tv, and DVDs. New, quality mattresses mean you will get the rest you need to enjoy your days even more. Ceiling fans are in all the bedrooms and main living room to provide fresh circulation. Dual Central HVAC systems ensure the inside is kept cool on the warmest of days. Two Beach cruisers are below in the storage area to enjoy rides down Beach Dr, with bike lanes on both sides, or try riding to the pier on the sand.

What makes this property unique

Oceanfront with convenient and flexible sleeping arrangements. 9 separate beds that sleep up to 12. Wifi, cable, tv with flat screens in the living room and two of the bedrooms. The west end location provides open space without the crowds. The home has a weber propane BBQ, washer & driver, microwave and an abundance of beach chairs. Board games, cards, puzzles, books and plenty of salt breezes! We have both a conventional and Keurig coffee maker in the kitchen
