Great Spring Break

Cottage was exactly as described and owners were very easy to communicate with, even though we needed nothing. We stayed 5 nights and will definitely be back. Comfortable beds, right by a beach access and plenty of parking.

Great little house!

Great house in a great location! Large yard we used for family games & patio area for gathering/chatting. Very short walk to the beach, which was perfect. Delaine & Larry were very helpful & responded quickly to any questions. Ate at Michaels & The Tikki bar, both had good food & Service. Played miniature golf at Shipwreck Neon miniature golf, which was fun on a rainy day. Perfect place to stay!
