Our family really enjoyed our stay here! It was very clean and quiet. We enjoyed the fire pit in the evening and didn’t mind the 10 minute walk to the beach. It’s a beautiful setting. We spent our meals and played games on the screened in porch. We did bring a couple of our own camping chairs because we noticed there weren’t many chairs in the pictures. We were glad we did so. ##### rebecca c. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Isza G. Jun 29, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Enjoyed the stay This place is super cute! Updated 2 bed/2bath with a nice screened porch and communal fire pit. The place is about a 5-10 min walk to the beach which isn’t too bad. The only issue we had was the WiFi. Didn’t really seem to get any service and the WiFi wasn’t working for us. Overall, enjoyed our stay and wouldn’t mind coming back! ##### Isza G. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Randy M. Jul 5, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Very nice place for a family Small playground across the street. Nice screened in deck for us to enjoy in the evenings. Little walk to the beach but honestly is a super cooler path that the kids loved. Clean space and plenty of room in the house. The pics def don’t do it justice for the size of the cabin. Would definitely recommend for another family of 5 ##### Randy M. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jay U.

Oct 6, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Warren Dunes Adventure Our active boys enjoyed the short trail to the Dunes. Please note the trail involved some climbing around tree roots. Perfect for my boys not as easy for my aging bones :-). The dumes provided even more climbing. We loved watching them race down. There's a playground and a fire pit which we enjoyed. The communal space in the cottage is small which isn't ideal if the weather was rainy. Thankfully the weather was sunny so we were able to play outdoors the entire weekend. ##### Mildred K. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Molly O.
