Everything was new and in great condition. It would have been nice to have a full length mirror as we were staying there for a wedding. I also would’ve preferred to have more outdoor lighting downstairs (under the house/driveway) as we got back both nights late.

Plain outside, charming inside! Excellent use of space, very clean, lovely decor, well equipped, quiet, and pet friendly! The host leaves a book full of helpful instructions and information. A five-block (give or take) walk to the beautiful beach. We very much enjoyed our stay in this comfy and cozy vacation home.

Decent spot

Couple of restaurants that are easily walkable and so are some shops to get souvenirs. Walk to the beach is about 8-10mins so it’s nice and close. Only issues we had were the bathroom door wouldn’t latch, the grass wasn’t mowed till the day before we left (we stayed 8 days) so it was pretty high for a small dog. There ended up being a venomous snake we had to kill which you can’t help if something wonders on the property, but I messaged the property owner & never got a response about the snake. Overall it’s a good location and nice small house.

This place was PERFECT for myself and two of my teenagers. Not too big or too small. Excellent location. Absolutely adorable! Wish there was another bedroom and bathroom and I’d bring our whole family! Plenty of parking space, and a good size yard.

Cute and close

Place was just as the pictures and super cute. Within walking distance of the festival and the beach. The only downside was they made the streets into one ways and this street was actually the main one everyone came down. But this is only because of the festival and not the owners fault.

PERFECT FOR HONEYMOON

My wife and I booked for our honeymoon. It is the perfect size for a couple or even a small family. We enjoyed the location! Just a minute walk to restaurants/stores.

Perfect, clean, nice yard for dog

We enjoyed our 4 night stay. The location was convenient walking distance to beach, restaurants, and stores. Walk to the beach was an easy 5 minute walk. The yard was big enough for our dog to run. I would have liked to have a couple of extra towels. Overall it was great and I would stay here again. Thank you!
