Coastal Cottage

Our charming mid-century three-bedroom cottage located a short walk to the beach is perfect for 8 guests. The house is all yours during your stay. The yard is entirely fenced and gated, a safe place for your children to play.   The property was recently updated.  You can walk to the beach from our property.  There are two restaurants within walking distance.

You may use our beach cart to transport your towels and toys to the beach. Your children can play in our sandbox or try a game of horseshoes or bag toss.

Our remodeled kitchen is outfitted with everything you need to cook a family meal or warm up a snack. Prepare meals on granite countertops with a large farmer sink. Leave your large suitcases at home, and use our full-size washer and dryer to launder your clothing while you are enjoying the beach, Aquarium, or other sites.

Our living room is full of light from large windows, which open to the kitchen and dining area. A unique feature is two 48″ barn doors that open to the large bedroom. When the room is not occupied, the open doors create a larger living space and additional windows. The living room and bedrooms have ceiling fans.

The backyard bbq is perfect for an intimate cook-out. Try out our wood-burning fire pit, and roast some marshmallows. Three restaurants are within a short walking distance, and many more are just a few minutes drive away. Great neighborhood for walking, just two short blocks from the beach. We have made COVID times more tolerable by providing regulation horseshoes and cornhole bag toss pits.

Four beds are available. Our largest bedroom has one queen and a large closet. Bedroom two includes two full-size beds with a closet. Bedroom three has one queen bed and a large closet. Our property is advertised for eight people.  All beds can accommodate up to two persons each, it is possible to sleep up to eight comfortably.

Flat-screen TVs in each bedroom and one in the living room are all connected to high-speed internet with Netflix for your enjoyment. Guests can use WIFI to watch Netflix or check the WEB for a local restaurant. An Alexa (AMAZON) device with a screen can be used to communicate about the weather or anything else.

Free parking and pets are permitted upon request. Special events are permitted e.g. birthday parties etc. as long as guests inform our hosts during the booking process. We have another property on the same street that is better suited for large parties, it can accommodate up to 12 guests and the very large yard can accommodate about 100 guests with tents. It may be possible to stay at this property and use the yard at our other property or some combination. Please contact our hosts for more information.

Wheelchair access: We can provide a ramp to enter the home upon advance request. There is one step to the front porch, the 36″ wide entrance door should accommodate a wheelchair.  The large bedroom with a queen bed is accessed through an 8′ opening from the living room.

The kitchen is accessible as well by wheelchair. A wheelchair-bound individual will need assistance in the bathroom as the distance between the sink and the wall is narrow. The toilet is of regular height. The backyard can be accessed using the ramp in front of the house and then going through the gate.

A pet may be permitted.  You must receive approval first and pay the pet fee.  If your pet is allowed, you agree to compensate the hosts for any costs to repair or remediate any damage caused by your pet.   You will be responsible for removing pet hair.
