Weekend Getaway
Really cute and comfortable cottage. Full kitchen, nice for those who cook, instead of going out. Surprised we heard very little road noise while inside (located on main street). Owners were helpful and quick to respond to our questions. I thought I saw the listing show 2.5 bathrooms, but maybe I was wrong (it has 1.5 bathrooms). Other than that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Enchanted Cottage
We stayed at the cottage for two wonderful weeks. The house is spacious, comfortable and beautiful. It is more than well stocked with just about anything you can imagine. Not only was there a nice knife set, the knives were very sharp. The location is convenient to the beach and bike trail and restaurants. An added bonus - we were there during the International Kite Festival. The hosts were great - super prompt in providing what we needed. The check in and check out process is smooth. Would definitely stay there again.

Warm Home in the Storms
My adult daughter, her dog & I stayed the Serendipity Cottage for four nights the last part of February. It was perfect - comfortable, clean, well-supplied, spacious, warm, charming and with easy walking access into the cottage and other locations (restaurant & grocery store). Even though it is by the main road to Long Beach, we rarely heard any traffic noise and it was in a quiet neighborhood. We will definitely come back!

King Tides getaway
We stayed at the Serendipity Cottage for the king tides (which weren't very king-like) and LOVED our stay in the cottage. It is adorable, comfortable and very well supplied! The hosts were very responsive and helpful throughout our stay. If we head back to that area, I plan to stay here again! We loved it!!

Comfortable, Charming Cottage
We enjoyed our stay at this charming cottage. We loved the decor, cute kitchen with lots of dishes, and spending time in the sitting area. The sofa and chairs were very comfortable. Although near the road, it was fairly quiet. There is a view of a pretty garden between the front entry and the road. It was a short walk to a restaurant for breakfast, and to another popular restaurant for dinner.
