Stunning views and beautiful sunsets. The property is perfectly situated with direct beach access and a short walk to restaurants. The house is older and shows it, but was overall decently clean. The beds and couches are dated and could use updating

Great pet-friendly beach house
We really enjoy that the property is right on the beach with a large deck that provides shade. Appreciated the deck updates (we were last there in 2019). The fenced-in feature is great for our dog. Enjoyed our stay!

This is a place that we will be returning to next year. When we walked inside it was amazing. The open concept and comfort was amazing. The beds were very comfortable. The home was very clean and well stocked with what we needed for our stay. The beach is right outside the deck. We loved falling asleep to the sound of the ocean every night. Thank you for sharing your home with our family.

Day at The Beach
Great location. Close to everything, beach, grocery store, souvenirs, restaurants. Rockers on the porch were awesome. Watched the waves, dolphins, migrating sea birds, stars and satellites for hours.
Would rent again.

Amazing View!
Very clean house in a great location. Amazing sunset and sunrise views right from the deck! The fenced in area under the house was perfect for our dog. We had no issues with the public beach access being close by. Not having any immediate neighbors on either side (other than some neat driftwood sculptures :) ) made for a very peaceful stay. The sliding door to the back deck takes a little bit of effort to open and close, but not a big deal for us. We would absolutely return again!

Quaint cottage with great view
Positives: great location with great views. Nice not to have neighbors to each side.
Negatives: “Beach access” is public and runs directly against the side of the house so there is high foot traffic right next to the house all day and night. Emailed the owners and was told the access is public but folks shouldn’t be walking on property. Unfortunately the path of least resistance to walkers is on the property’s sidewalk and across the driveway as the town has not kept up with keeping the public access cleared to the street as it should be. We were surprised at times to see folks within feet of us in the yard as we were coming out of the outdoor shower and laundry room. Asking folks not to come onto the property was often met with rudeness so for our family’s safety we decided to be non confrontational. If the public path can be properly cleared and roped off from the property, it will give walkers a path away from the house. I really wish the public access were properly described in the listing and not so vague. We would not have rented this property if we had known that we would have random and sometimes rude folks continuously on the property and leaving their things at the access point.
Also, the kitchen has barely enough utensils and tools to be called a well stocked kitchen. We made things work but for the $$ we paid, we expected a little more attention to details.
Honestly, a little bit of attention to detail would have made this house much more hospitable and worth the rental price.

Four college friends had a blast!
We had such a great time together, loved being beach-front and waking up to that sunrise, and ending our days with the beautiful sunset. Great location, perfect for the 4 of us who went to college together back in the 1990s. :) Thanks!!
