Loved the short walk to the bay beach for great sunsets and the easy proximity to our favorite national seashore beaches. When we arrived it was perfectly clean which is a huge thumbs up for us! The kitchen had everything we needed and we cooked almost all our meals there with no problems. ##### Kim C. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy W. Jun 25, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great stay Amazing location, quick walk to private beach, very clean and cute cottage!! Great large back yard with good hammocking set up and the dogs loved running around out there. Had all of the ammenties that you need and especially loved having the ability to do laundry. Easy check in process. My only small complaint would be the early 9am check out time. Would much prefer 10 or 11 like most other places we've stayed. Thank you so much for allowing dogs!! Its so hard to find places that allow one, let alone 2! We appreciate that so much!! ##### Amy W. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller May 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Smiling Starfish We had a wonderful stay at the smiling starfish. The house was clean and neat and fairly close to the beach. The fenced in back yard was fantastic for our dog. The bathroom sink was unusually small, but the shower worked great. It might be nice to put wastebaskets in the bedrooms and living room. Overall a great vacation. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Zack B. Jun 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Such a cute little place! This was a terrific little beach house within walking distance to the beach. We availed ourselves to the fire pit one night and the tv on the one night it rained. Coffee on the back deck in the morning and lunch on the picnic table was so peaceful. Being dog friendly was a huge plus - loved the extra large fenced in back yard! The staff’s communication was courteous and professional throughout. The house was clean and well-stocked with everything we could need. ##### Zack B. Stayed 6 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sydney L.
