The Little Paddle was the perfect spot for us (2 adults and 1 dog) for the weekend! Super clean with thoughtful touches and a short walk to beach accesses and restaurants. It has a large backyard with a nice shaded deck for enjoying coffee or a glass of wine. We enjoyed our stay!

This cottage was perfect for my husband and I’s weekend getaway! It was stocked with everything we needed and had the perfect amount of space for 2 people. It was only a few blocks from the beach access and boardwalk, so the walkability was great!

A bit smaller than we expected but it was clean, well furnished, cool and great location. The yard was big and clean. Great outdoor shower to rinse and help keep inside clean during stay. Will stay again

Enjoyed our stay!

The unit was a very short walk to the beach. It was ideally located in terms of attractions, food, coffee, etc. We also enjoyed the proximity to the park. The unit was very quiet and peaceful as well.

It was a nice stay. Couch was uncomfortable and bed was okay but needed a better mattress. The Host was excellent. It was a cute and well kept little cabin. Close to everything. Could have used more bath towels and face towels. There wasn’t a toaster either. Unfortunately our pet passed so we did not get to partake of the wonderful fenced in back yard and deck. But I would definitely say it is a pets dream yard.

It was a beautiful little cottage and was very clean and looked like the pictures on the listing. My only complaint would be that there was no toaster in the kitchen and that the bed wasn't very comfortable. Otherwise it was a great stay!
