    Because we are PET FRIENDLY we do accept guests with allergies Not ADA compliant and skinny doors and small bath, the way it was in 1925. Thank you.

    Although we have over 1000 5 star reviews this is not a 5 star upscale fancy shmancy Bed N Breakfast. 1925 updated beach cottage for guests who just want to be close the beach and all the great restaurants. No picky fussy folks please.

Perfect Beach Getaway

My wife and I celebrated our anniversary by bringing our two dogs to the beach. The place was 20 yards from the beach so it made coming and going very easy. We were able to make home cooked meals or easily walk to nice restaurant. The staff was very attentive to anything we needed. It was perfect for what we wanted.

Quaint cottage stage

Great location right by the beach. Front patio is nice but open to the main street. Air conditioning went out but this was fixed quickly by manager who went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. If you are wanting a beach vacation this works great as it is close and also plenty of beach chairs and umbrellas to use. Great weekend getaway!!

Quaint cottage in a great location

This is an older property, but very clean and quaint . The bed was very comfortable and the kitchen was more than adequate. We enjoyed sitting in the patio for people watching on Mandalay Ave. The hot tub was a nice bonus too . We walked to several nearby restaurants for some great meals . Captain Al & his staff were very friendly and helpful our entire stay . Will definitely return here in the future !

Furniture was 30-40 years old. Listing shows a pool but they don’t have a pool. It’s a municipal pool 3 blocks away that you have to pay to use. Sliding door didn’t have a lock- they have a block of wood in the bottom for a lock. Several items/appliances in the kitchen didn’t work. Hot tub water wasn’t being balanced. Exterior was very junky. Housekeeper was very nice and hard working.
