Wonderful stay!
We had a great stay here for a family wedding, two couples, a baby and a small dog. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed, plus plenty of cleaning supplies. The location was perfect, just a few houses down from the beach access, and a short walk to the shops and restaurants. Special thanks to the owners who helped us with the doors, when we accidentally locked ourselves out in a rush! They were prompt to communicate and resolve the problem. On top of that they left some snacks for us and toys for our niece to enjoy on the beach! Overall, would recommend for a couple or small family, and we would definitely stay again. Thank you!

Great location for a beach vacation
This beach house was in a great location close to town. It was clean and affordable. The beds were comfortable and had plenty of extra bedding in both rooms. The kitchen was fully stocked, including trash bags, cleaning supplies and spices. The bathroom had supplies in case you forget anything. We loved that it was dog friendly, close beach access and walking distance to town. We will be staying here again in the future.
