Stayed 5 nights in Nov 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathleen H. 19 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great beach cottage It was great to find this smaller beach home at a reasonable price without having to resort to a stay at a condo. Great location to beach and loved the fenced in backyard for our Lab. The large screened in front porch was a wonderful place to stay in shade and relax. The only suggestions would be to have to have a deck umbrella to provide shade on the back deck as it is south facing and receives full sun all day and the other would be to have more pots/glassware for cooking and bowls for food preparation and storing. Would highly recommend this rental for couples or small family of 4. ##### Kathleen H. Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David P. 4 Oct 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Awesome! Location is outstanding. The place is well appointed and the host are great. It's not a big place, but well suited for two couples or a couple with two kids that can sleep in the same bed. Back yard was perfect for our two dogs and the deck is fantastic. Did I mention location? ##### David P. Stayed 5 nights in Sep 2022 ---
