"Got a last minute deal for a couple nights midweek in Oct. Lovely stay, had a patio with a beautiful view. The grounds are well maintained and the staff is friendly and helpful. We enjoyed the pool area and breakfast at the restaurant across the street. Complimentary bottle of wine was a nice touch. I definitely recommend!"

"Jen was so easy to communicate with! This was our second stay in this lovely home, and we enjoyed it immensely. Our group of my adult kids and teenage grandkids had a wonderful time barbequeing on the deck, hot tubbing on the patio (with an amazing view of the sunset over the ocean) and enjoying time together in the wonderful living area with more views of sky and ocean. and wildlife. It is a fabulous location for going to the beach and for walks and for spending fun and easy time together with people you love. The house has everything you need! We are already trying to figure out when we can all do it again."

"The cottage was very spacious, clean and comfy. We liked the close location to the beautiful beach. The price was very reasonable for the size and location. The drawbacks were there were no windows that opened for fresh air. There were patio doors, but we didn’t want little creatures entering, so only opened a crack. The downstairs where the two bedrooms were located, was a bit musty because of no fresh air. A dehumidifier might help this. We did like this hidden-away gem in a small community overall."

"We rented Michael's home for a multi-generational family vacation and had a wonderful time. Michael notified us ahead of time about the stairs and didn't confirm our reservation until we confirmed they wouldn't be an issue. The steps were very much worth the ocean views and no one in our party (age 5 to 75) had problems. We loved being able to see out to the ocean and enjoy sunsets from the living room. The house was clean, comfortable, and had good space for our group of 10. Though note from downstairs you can hear footsteps and movement above, especially if you have kids running around and playing but also if you're a light sleeper and someone upstairs is getting up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Michael was extremely responsive to any questions and offered recommendations for places to eat and things to try. Our family had a great time and it was the perfect house for an ocean view beach getaway!"
