Would stay again!

Thank you for sharing your home. The location was perfect for morning walks along the beach, a day of kayaking and evening strolls to the candy shop. It was clean, stocked with everything we needed (and more), and had very comfortable beds. Would love to return to this property.

Holiday Getaway

We love staying at the shore and this bungalow is the perfect spot to enjoy the sites and sounds. With a short walk to the “little beach” as my daughter calls it and another short walk to food and fun, this house is perfect for family and friends. It has a great host and a cozy and clean vibe. I highly recommend.

Perfect Location and Great Accommodations

We absolutely loved this property! It was within walking distance from so many things! The bay was literally in sight from the kitchen window, a short three minute walk to the softest, cleanest, sandiest beach and also so close to restarting a, bars, and salons for a midday pedicure! It was honestly the most perfect house with so many wonderful attributes. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home.
