Enjoy breakfast at the center island with seating for four. Or gather your group for dinner at the dining table, which also seats four.

The partially covered deck offers an incredible view of the water. With three lounge chairs, two rocking chairs, and additional seating, your group will have plenty of space to sunbathe and socialize. Fire up the charcoal grill and enjoy a family barbecue.

This home is perfectly situated with a great view of the ocean and has easy access to the beach. We enjoyed siting out on the deck and experiencing the ocean breeze.

When we entered the house it was apparent that the kitchen floor had buckled with a six to 8 inch peak between the sink and stove area- about 2 feet wide. The plank flooring that had been laid over the original flooring was loose and moved - a big tripping hazard especially for someone with a broken ankle and someone with a bad knee. To be fair Vacasa was not able to do much since the homeowner was involved. However Vacasa nor the homeowner made any attempt to relocate us, compensate us financially or even apologize. We have had a problem with other rentals in past years and other agencies and homeowners were more responsive. First and last time with Vacasa.

Love that this cottage is water front. Coffee on the deck each morning was perfect! Kitchen was well equipped. Not crazy about xfinity as we couldn’t watch our sports team. Just more time staring at the ocean! Thank you, we will return to this home.

The house is very nice and quaint. There is good beach access and good views from the house. The amenities leave a lot to be desired. The propane tank under the grill was corroded and looked like a potential hazard, there were several dirty bowls and other tableware, the lightbulb in a bedroom lamp was missing and the Vacasa team was of no help in managing any of this. We were told that the local team would reach out but no one ever reached out. I think Vacasa may be too impersonal
