Cute clean cottage.

The cottage was just right for us. It was immaculate and amply furnished with many cute decorations. It was a short walk to the beach and a few restaurants and the weather was great.

Perfect little beach cottage

Pictures do not do it justice. Very clean and cozy, accommodated our 2 families of four comfortably. Short walk to the beach, the fire pit was a great little bonus! Definitely plan to come back.

Cozy and comfortable

The description matched perfectly. The 2 inside bedrooms are spacious and the sleeping porch is great for accommodating extra people. The washer and dryer on site are great amenities for a beach trip. Would definitely stay again!

Loved this Beach Cottage

My family and I stayed at this property and it did not disappoint. It was closer to the beach than we had expected and easy walk to several restaurants. It was warm and cozy with several amenities. It felt like we were at home and we loved it!

GOOD STAY

Great place, backyard perfect for children, love outdoor shower, really like not having multi floor steps to climb. Just a few hundred yards from ocean, right on public access, not a bad walk.

Best beach stay ever!!

This was the best little cottage ever!! It was clean, close to everything, a short walk to the beach, and so cozy! It’s a quiet area with low light so, we thoroughly enjoyed the fire pit. The beds were comfy and clean. The kitchen has everything you need to cook a meal. There are spare toys and games to use while there. It truly was my favorite so far! We can not wait to return.

Couldn't ask for a BETTER VACATION!

The best little house I've ever seen! It was cozy, a short stroll to the beach, and well located! Since it's a peaceful, quiet location, we thoroughly enjoyed the fire pit. The beds were tidy and comfortable. Everything you need to prepare a meal is in the kitchen. You can use the extra games and toys while you're there. It was, in fact, my favorite so far! The host provided everything we could possibly need! Overall a GREAT PLACE TO VACATION! We are ready to go back and will be returning!!

Refreshing & Comfy

Felt like a home away from home. Easy 3 block walk to breathtaking views of a none crowded area of Atlantic Beach. Beds slept great. Convenient walks for delicious takeout meals. Keith responded quickly to any questions. Really nice that an outside shower & water hose are provided to clean off beach items. Look forward to returning!
