The house has everything you could need and we loved the proximity to the beach and how walkable everything was. Laundry on-site, the grill and enclosed patio was amazing too.

Beyond being well kept and smartly decorated, there are numerous additional amenities—beach gear such as chairs, a wagon, floats as well as children’s toys, books and movies. All of this made it easier to pack and entertain a toddler! We have rented in the area before and this was by far the most thoughtfully stocked cottage with a fantastic location. We loved our time and would highly recommend! ##### Jenny H. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dave S.

Jul 13, 2011 #### Great vacation rental We spent a week in this beautiful cottage at the end of June. We were 4 adults, three kids and a labrador retriever and we all had a wonderful time. The description of the cottage is accurate and it even included things that we didn't expect: toys for the kids, beach toys, a wagon to carry things to the beach, fishing gear, etc... The owner is very nice and helpful. The cottage is really closed to the beach and the beach is actually great. Lots of stuff to do nearby. We can only recommend staying at this cottage and enjoy a wonderful vacation. ##### Kay G. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pamela S. Aug 6, 2013 #### Great time at the cottage! The cottage is in a great location. Close to the beach, biking trails, a restaurant or 2 and a couple of small markets. We used the beach chairs, cooler and wagon to go the beach. We used the deck everyday for morning coffee, grilling, etc. There is plenty of seating inside and out for dining. The washer and dryer came in handy as well. The beds and bedding were very comfortable. We had a great time! ##### Pamela S.

Close to the beach, within walking distance to several restaurants and a coffee shop. The owner has equipped this cottage with everything you need. The fenced in deck was perfect for napping in the hammock, the dogs enjoying the sun, and a small child enjoying playing with the three frogs water fountains. What could be better? We highly recommend this wonderful cottage and look forward to future visits. ##### LeAnne M. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amy G.

Easy walk to the beach and well equipped with beach chairs, towels, wagon. The house itself was even better than it looked in the pictures. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook and eat in for most of our meals. The air conditioner worked well which was essential during the heat spell we had. Howard was there to meet us at check in and helped us with one small problem we had with a key during our stay. We couldn’t have asked for more from our vacation!

The week we spent in this comfortable and inviting home is one that we will remember for a long time to come. The house is perfectly situated on a quiet street just steps from the beach and a short walk to a nearby grocery store. We spent long mornings relaxing on the shady porch and evenings grilling and eating outside. Having the extra bonus of cable TV and WiFi let us feel like we had all the creature comforts of home in this idyllic setting. We hope to be back very soon. ##### David S. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rick B. Aug 15, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Best Stress Reliever Available This house and it's location are about as close to perfect as you can get. The house was clean, comfortable and very nicely appointed. The location of the house in relation to the beach is just great. Very very walkable and Howard provides a little wagon and beach goodies. Union Pier is a very walkable and friendly town. It's growing and my personal hope is that it does not grow to much to fast. This is just really hard to beat. ##### Rick B.
