We enjoyed the outdoor space and the easy access to the beach!

Can’t beat the location of the property and the views from the deck are priceless. The property is older though. We were not spending a lot of time inside but updates are needed. One of the guest bathrooms had a lot of mold on the ceiling, the two downstairs rooms were hot/humid and a lot of water bugs were present inside. If you want to go to the beach and be oceanfront then this is a great bang for your buck. However, just be aware that the actual house leaves a little to be desired.

It would be great if the 3 twin beds downstairs could get new mattresses and the AC improved down there. Hopefully with the kitchen remodel a bigger fridge will be put in. We love the location. We love the cottage. One of the few vintage cottages left on the beach. The manager was great taking care of our needs.

It is the picture perfect original beach cottage . . . clean, comfortable and beach front! Our grandsons refuse to stay anywhere else. We had the whole family there and it was a perfect week!

The house was comfortable and the location was fabulous. The only problem we had was arriving with a 20 lb turkey only to find an oven the size of a shoebox. We were able to scramble around and manage but the lack of a workable oven was challenging. We very much enjoyed the outdoor spaces and the easy access to the beach.

I have rented several homes VRBO and this is the FIRST where linens/towels were NOT included, and we had to go to an office to pick up and drop off keys after our stay. Early check-in even if available was $50 per HOUR extra and check out at 10am! I felt completely nickle and dimed to death. Needless to say, the kitchen was filthy, dirty dishes with old food still caked on, a pantry with an old dirty car seat, the comforters on the beds stained, screens torn and unable to open windows, a massive fly problem, we had to cover our coffee, wine glasses and food with paper towels to keep the flies off of it (INSIDE the home). Old beer cans littered outside. No keypad entry. While it's 5 bedrooms, two of the five bedrooms are in the lower level of the home, one makeshift from a garage with no windows and dungeon like, and the other looked like an outhouse with a dingy shower. We had a plumbing problem with one of the toilets that was given attention to after several calls. The property manager had a difficult time finding a plumber but eventually did and that did get taken care of. For nearly $2000 for 3 nights!? Crazy. The couch in the main living area has a board under it to keep it from collapsing. The list goes on. I have pics if anyone wants to see more detail. It's terribly unfortunate because the location of this home is perfect right on the beach, but NOT WORTH it. I truly felt like I was robbed as did all the guests in my group.

The bathrooms and bedrooms were spacious and clean. The gas grill needs to be replaced as it is rusting out the bottom. My only disappointment was that there was no soap in most of the bathrooms and no beach towels or beach chairs were available. It has been our experience with other rental agencies that these items are provided. It would be easier to provide a combination lockbox or locks for the door instead of having to go to the rental agency to pick up the keys.

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The house was in decent shape. It did not feel like a ritzy beachfront vacation home (with all the new and shiny amenities), but rather like a cozy bungalow that had been in the family for years, without a ton of updates or frills. While I would have rather splurged an extra hundred dollars per night to get a nicer place, it was totally sufficient for our needs (but not all of our “wants”).

I could be jaded over the fact that there was a full-blown construction project taking place next door, and our children could not nap due to the noise (so take my opinion with a grain of salt). While the rental contract clearly states that the rental agency is not responsible for neighboring construction, I think a general warning or “heads up” would serve as an act of good faith in the future (asd the project had been in full swing for months prior to our arrival). When I called and to explain the situation and asked if there were other properties available (and that we’d even pay more), the man I spoke with was very frustrated by the request and told me they weren’t obligated to meet any such request. He reiterated the terms of our contract, and eventually told me that he’d get back to me possible options after speaking with the owners. He never called back.

Needless to say, I probably had a unique situation and I’m willing to concede that they were well within their rights to not change our rental (or notify us of the construction), but again, given the price point and condition of the rental – I expected more.

We love the location and short walk to the jetty to gather shells. Lifeguard stand a plus at the end of beach path.

The blender was broken and we received a new one in hours, an outlet wasn’t working and we were talked through how to fix it over the phone. Incredibly helpful

There is only an outside entrance to access them.

The people who clean need to move the furniture occasionally and sweep under it. Hardwood floors need a canister vac instead of an upright. We would rent this cottage again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: It was wonderful being so close to a beautiful, in crowded beach! Having a lifeguard station right there gave us confidence. Some in our party had never seen an ocean before. They fell in love. The cottage was very cute. Better than the pictures showed. Kitchen is tight if there are more than 2 at a time. All that was needed for cooking full meals was available. The large washer and dryer were very helpful. The only disappointment was the lower level bedrooms. The description stated that they each had outside exits. It did not state that that was the only access. They are not connected to the upstairs at all. Neither are they connected to each other. We had planned on putting a 6,8, 11 and 14 year old there. There was no way that these children would have been able to be so separated from their parents. So we had to do some rearranging. It would be ideal for young adults. Everyone was a good sport about it, but I do think that should be clearer in the description. Overall we were very pleased!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house was just what we were looking for. It isn't fancy like some of the newer houses but it is charming with lots of places to lay your head and an AMAZING deck with lovely views. You could walk out on the beach and in a few moments be at the bird sanctuary on the tip of the island where the ocean and the inlet meet. The house is well managed and we had everything we needed there.
