Perfect little getaway

The location is perfect and only like a 5-10 minute walk to the beach. The porch is nice to relax on and you get to see the ocean in the distance. The kitchen is well stocked and the king bed is probably the most comfortable bed I have ever slept on!

This is the perfect cottage if you want close to the beach and have a cozy stay! It was clean and well stocked with cooking supplies and the owner/property manager was incredibly responsive and helpful. Very pleased with my interactions. This cottage is small, perfect for maybe 3 people. Best part is it isn’t right on the beach and away from the cars coming in on a busy weekend. We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend and would go back.
