short stay at the beach

excellent property for those who want a good location in "old Atlantic Beach". Easy to walk to beach, quiet, nice back yard, wireless connection was excellent for viewing streaming. A neat little house. I will definitely stay here again. All we needed but not like a shiny condo just built. I prefer the atmosphere of old Atlantic Beach and the traditional cottage feel. If you like that, you will really like this place.

Perfect little beach cottage

Pictures do not do it justice. Very clean and cozy, accommodated our 2 families of four comfortably. Short walk to the beach, the fire pit was a great little bonus! Definitely plan to come back.

Cozy and comfortable

The description matched perfectly. The 2 inside bedrooms are spacious and the sleeping porch is great for accommodating extra people. The washer and dryer on site are great amenities for a beach trip. Would definitely stay again!

GOOD STAY

Great place, backyard perfect for children, love outdoor shower, really like not having multi floor steps to climb. Just a few hundred yards from ocean, right on public access, not a bad walk.

Best beach stay ever!!

This was the best little cottage ever!! It was clean, close to everything, a short walk to the beach, and so cozy! It’s a quiet area with low light so, we thoroughly enjoyed the fire pit. The beds were comfy and clean. The kitchen has everything you need to cook a meal. There are spare toys and games to use while there. It truly was my favorite so far! We can not wait to return.

Refreshing & Comfy

Felt like a home away from home. Easy 3 block walk to breathtaking views of a none crowded area of Atlantic Beach. Beds slept great. Convenient walks for delicious takeout meals. Keith responded quickly to any questions. Really nice that an outside shower & water hose are provided to clean off beach items. Look forward to returning!

Couldn't ask for a BETTER VACATION!

The best little house I've ever seen! It was cozy, a short stroll to the beach, and well located! Since it's a peaceful, quiet location, we thoroughly enjoyed the fire pit. The beds were tidy and comfortable. Everything you need to prepare a meal is in the kitchen. You can use the extra games and toys while you're there. It was, in fact, my favorite so far! The host provided everything we could possibly need! Overall a GREAT PLACE TO VACATION! We are ready to go back and will be returning!!

Wonderful Week!

This was a very nice cottage. It was equipped with all we needed to have a wonderful stay. Everything was clean and tidy. The living room furniture was very soft and comfortable. The beds were comfortable as well. We loved the outside shower and having a clothesline for our swimsuits and towels was extra nice. Quick and convenient walk to the beach was great! We also were able to walk to restaurants and ride our bikes through the neighboring streets. We had a memorable week with our family and will definitely come back!

Perfect Getaway!

This house was perfect for our stay. We decided on this trip very last minute and were so happy to find this place. My best friend and I took four 13yr old girls to the beach for the weekend for my daughter's birthday. The front bedroom that sleeps four was the perfect teenage hangout "den." The outdoor shower added a perfect extra shower for 6 girls! We brought stuff to make s'mores but didn't end up doing so because of wind, but the firpit was perfect! The location was great! A quick, easy walk to the beach access. We would love to go back again! Thank you!
