Aug 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Shore Drive The house was okay with just the bare minimum. Kitchen had small appliances, bathroom shower and space was very tight, bedroom had only bed, no dressers to put our clothes and personal items on, living room couch was uncomfortable, throw pillows had stains and smells like there was a dog inside before we checked in.. Great location with beach across the street. ##### Joe G. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Tracey S. Aug 31, 2024 Liked: Check-in, location #### Perfect Location to beach The location was absolutely perfect right across from the bay. The house cute and big enough for two people. But it is lacking amenities such as a dresser in the bedroom. A little more counter space in the kitchen and a shelf or a small counter top in the bathroom. A good leave blower would really help getting all the pine needles and the burs all over the yard.. We brought our own toilet paper and towels...too... Overall we had a wonderful time abd would go back But there ##### Tracey S. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Thomas S.

Excellent property, the house was extremely comfortable and the closeness to the bay was fantastic. ##### David b. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Emily T. Aug 20, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Across from the beach The house was clean and convenient for a couple. Anymore people would be too much. It’s across the street from the beach, which made it so convenient to go back and forth with items or take a break from the Sun worth some AC. Would definitely go back. ##### Emily T. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Kate O., Philadelphia, Pa Jul 16, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Cute Cottage But Without Basics Lovely small cottage but missing basic considerations for guests. Needs more trash cans, shelving in closet, a dresser for clothes, light in bathroom shower, toilet paper holder, towel rack bathroom, more kitchen cabinets, power strip for charging, outdoor clothes line, kitchen towels, pot holders, mixing bowels, blanket for sofa bed. We purchased many of the items when we got there but definetely needs some additional items for guests. Otherwise great little vacation spot. Thanks Kate ##### Kate O. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Marge M. Jul 7, 2022 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Overpriced The owners are very nice but it is overpriced for what you get. You can hang clothes in closet but no place for other clothes so live out of suitcase on the floor. Refrigerator is tiny and the one cabinet has no place to put food. Nothing “beachy” about it. It is a good location but overall it is dreary. ##### Marge M. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Kathy B. Jun 29, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Nice owners, really not big enough for more then 2 people the full size bed was only suitable for on All in it was fine for a short stay,we were there 1 week which is the minimum, there are a few things I hope they change in the future, 1 being a small hotel size refrigerator if we didn't have a large cooler we would have been stuck, we had to buy ice every other day. Counter space was none existent and again we were lucky we had small folding table with us, beautiful deck but no comfortable outdoor seating? No light in shower, no trash can, no lamps. These are just a few things but still inconvenient . I took into consideration that we were the to rent the cottage so for the most part we enjoyed our stay, in spite of COVID19 restrictions the weather was beautiful, we ate at some very nice restaurants, and saw some beautiful sunsets. Thank you Ruth and Mark! ##### Kathy B. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joe S. Sep 3, 2025 ##### Joe S.
