Surf contest
We wanted to stay close to the beach as we had early morning check in times for a surf contest. The cottage was very cozy and had everything we needed. We had a little trouble figuring out the TV and management immediately sent someone to help out. Will definitely stay here again!

Weekend Getaway
Cabin was clean and comfortable. Convenient location, easy check in and out. This is a group of 6-7 cabins together, parking is tight and limited. A couple of the neighbors were apparently long term or permanent residents and could have been friendlier. To be fair, short term renters are at times noisy and rude, so I get it. My wife and I were low key and quiet so it didn’t really bother us. I would definitely stay here again and simply ignore grouchy neighbors.

Lovely little getaway - lack of parking
It was a great little stay, loved the location, etc. We were only told of 1 parking spot during our check in text. The bathroom is cute, but definitely not spa-like. The bed is a storage for winter window storm boards.

Cute little cottage
The place is small but has practically everything we needed, except a Keurig machine. We also would have preferred either a shorter entry code or a key for the door. Also, a better quality toilet paper would be much appreciated.
