Reviews

• 5/5

  The cottage felt like you were at home. It wasn't giving a commercial vibe but more of a home and relax vibe. The owners were very kind and the view is amazing.

  Older beach house with great views. This is our second time staying here. Our last visit was in 2021. However, this visit wasn’t the same. The house has not been maintained well since then. Falling down ceiling plaster in every room and cabinets that can’t close, Dust covered walls and Roaches rule the kitchen at night. (Mostly) Minor things that have been seriously ignored. It’s a great location, it just needs some love to be brought back to life.

  Manager's Response:

  From the owner: Thanks for the feedback. However, I wish you had mentioned these issues during some of our conversations while ya'll were here. We take the issue of bugs very seriously. This is why we have pest control that's guaranteed, so anytime they get to be a problem, they will come out and spray at no additional charge. We don't know we have a problem until someone tells us we have a problem. Needless to say, we have requested additional services, so this will not be a problem again.
  
  The cabinet doors have been an issue. The problem has been getting our handyman's schedule and our booking schedule to match. Fortunately, we have resolved scheduling issues, and this is being rectified.
  
  The ceiling has been an issue. Several years ago, we replaced the popcorn finish with the knockdown finish (the material is drywall mud, not plaster). We've had issues with it cracking and have had repairs done, only to see it occur again. We're talking to people to resolve this and get this taken care of.
  
  We appreciate your feedback, and next time you visit, things will be better. We strive with each booking to deliver a 5-star experience.

  This is the kind of beach cottage I remember from childhood. Low-key, homey, and thoughtfully appointed, right down to novels by local authors. I could stay there for a month! The owner/manager lives downstairs and is pleasantly available if you need anything. You do have to get your suitcase up an exterior flight of steps, but he'll help you. You can see the ocean from the porch and walk to it in 2 minutes along a private boardwalk.

  We loved our time here. The location is perfect, private and the view is fantastic. Very basic and yet everything is provided. We needed batteries for the remote and Bud was there within minutes to help us. He was very kind. This is our 2nd time staying here and I’m sure we’ll be back. Thanks for everything!
