Toddler loved the Fantasia Mickey sheets, coloring books, and other small kids touches. Host was super responsive to a few small issues. One thing to be aware of is that this non-smoking property smells faintly of cigarettes when you first come in the back door to the kitchen, possibly from adjacent outdoor smoking area, but the smell doesn’t continue into the living/sleeping areas. Great and inexpensive option for a beach trip, 10 minutes from state park beach. ##### Ethan M.

My Niece and I stayed at the Blue Birdhouse for her Spring Break and to see if we wanted to visit this area in the summertime, as we had never been there. The Owner of this house was gracious and kind and very responsive to any questions or requests. We also took our dogs with us and they had a blast in the fenced back yard! Every time we went to look somewhere up to visit, it seemed like everywhere was between 5 - 10 minutes away! Location is absolutely awesome and close to virtually everything!! The house was very clean and really cute! And again the Owner of the house is a very nice and kind person! Very comfortable house and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Would have gave 5 stars but the trains (out of control of the host) ran constantly and the house is super close to the track. Yard was perfect for our dog and enjoyed grilling and the fire pit. ##### Melynda C. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ---
