Ladies only getaway

Our ladies only family get a way was made fantastic with the help of Doug and Bo and their beautiful sea side cottage! It was perfect for our needs and we enjoyed the amenities as well as the decor! It’s fairly centrally located to all the exciting attractions and very close to the beach. We even walked to dinner twice!Thank you Doug and Bo!

Cute, clean home

We were in town for a cheer competition. The coaches, our spouses and children all stayed in the house. The loft was great for the kids… it is attic-type stairs so I wouldn’t use this space for under 5, but it was perfect for our kiddos ages 5-10 and would be great for older. The ac was able to keep up great. The house was very clean and the neighborhood felt very safe. We really enjoyed our stay here and will book here again.
