Sweet peace! It was an awesome experience! Very relaxing! Out of all the vacation rentals we have stayed I loved Papa’s shack the most. I’m thinking it should be Mama’s shack because it was so clean and fresh. I felt at home!!!

Great stay at the coastal cottage!

My family & I loved this place. The property feels secluded and private, yet it's a short walk to the beach and you can hear the waves crashing from the porch. The cottage living areas are spacious and open and had everything we needed to make meals at home if we wanted. Bedrooms were comfortable. All very clean and organized. We really loved this place!

Wonderful stay — peaceful, well-equipped, and perfect for our senior dogs!

We had a fantastic experience at the Papa Shack! It was just a short walk to the beach but felt private and quiet — the perfect mix. The home was clean, comfortable, and had great amenities like a washer and dryer.The host was incredibly communicative and made everything easy. We brought our two senior dogs for a special trip, and they had the best time exploring and relaxing. Truly a memorable stay — highly recommend!

Second time, and we’ll be back!

Love this property so much, it’s beautiful, private and perfectly located just a short walk to the beach. Our favorite part is the privacy of the home itself, the way it’s completely surrounded by trees with no over looking homes or visible road front. Pulling into the driveway or walking the small path through the trees makes it feel like you’re in a much more secluded area away from the crowds. The home is very well decorated and outfitted for a couple or small family. An absolute family favorite.

Great house for pets

The house is set up to allow pets. No carpeting, very private and quiet and our dogs did great here when we left to fish on the beach, which is a short walk down the road.The house is not fancy but had everything we needed and extremely clean.Just an FYI - there were no toiletries or beach towels so bring your own if you stay.Owner was very quick to respond with my questions.

First time VRBO user. Wonderful experience. Will use VRBO and would rent this cottage again. We were there for our 30th anniversary and it fit the bill perfectly. Within easy distance of the beach, birding and wonderful food.

privacy!

It was great to be so close to the beach and still have so much privacy! Loved the outdoor shower! It was perfect for the 2 of us and our pup, but personally I would have been uncomfortable if we were traveling with anyone else as we needed the spare bedroom to store our stuff, that and only 1 bathroom

Natural beauty

Great place nestled in some beautiful coastal scrub, very private and quiet. Short walk to beach. We rented a golf cart which was fun and a great way to check out the environs. Very clean and all the amenities were there. Loved the place and was a perfect place for our four.
