Mitchell's Cove Beach House

10/10 Excellent

"Mitchells Cove Beach House was perfect in every way. I liked the large family room where we enjoyed relaxing on the sofa and two comfortable chairs. There is a sliding door with access to the backyard. Easy in and out for the dogs. The kitchen had lots of counter space and was bright and nicely laid out next to the dining area and long table. I especially liked the home's layout. One of the bedrooms has it's own bath. The second bathroom was very nice with a bathtub/shower and long counter. Quiet neighborhood, walking distance to a beach. I felt comfortable staying here and would choose this home if I were to come back."

Iconic West Cliff with Views!

10/10 Excellent

"This was the perfect house to stay in for a girls' weekend! My friends stayed with me to celebrate a milestone birthday and the house provided a great setting for hanging out, eating, and playing games. I love that there was plenty of seating in the living room and dining room and plenty of dishes in the kitchen. The house was very clean and had plenty of blankets for the beds."
