Beautifully Renovated Home! 1 block from the Beach!!

This home and location were perfect! We came up from NC to send off our Navy man before he leaves us for 4 years! The home layout and backyard were just what we needed to fellowship and move all around the property! The home even came equipped with a game area so it made interacting while inside easy. It was clean and well furnished. We'll be back!

Cozy Bay Cottage

We had a great time! The property was as described. On a quiet street. Very clean and enough space for the 5 of us. The private fenced in yard was a nice space for cook outs and relaxing. The beach access was a short walk and never crowded. We were close enough to enjoy several of the local attractions, the Botanical Gardens, the Chrysler art museum, the Aquarium and boat tours. The kids enjoyed checking out the disc golf courses, local coffee shops and boutique shops. I would highly recommend if you are looking for a fun family trip!

Amenities were lacking

The property is just as pictured. Only received one bath towel, one hand towel and two washcloths per person so I had to do laundry while on vacation. Most of kitchen equipment was broken or incomplete so we couldn’t cook like we expecting. There are great local restaurants. There was no all purpose cleaner provided or any paper products. The neighborhood is quiet. Easy walk to beach which was also pretty quiet.

Nice place, but cleaning needs more tending to...

This was a nice place for our family vacation. The owner was very easy to contact and responded in a timely manner. My only complaint was the cleanliness of the cottage. When we first arrived, the bathrooms didn't seem like they had been cleaned. I found hair in one of the showers and on the edge of one of the fur bathroom rugs. If it was sanitized, I couldn't smell that any cleaning products had been used. One of the trash cans located at the side door hadn't been emptied. Too many flies were around it which was a bit of a nuisance. Again, nice place, but the cleaning staff could have done a better job.

Not well appointed

This property was attractive at first impression but the devil is in the details. The beds in all three bedrooms were very uncomfortable. The bed linens were akin to Walmart blue light specials. The pillows were also limp but the towels were the worst; they were very thin, small and dingy white. They looked like someone had washed their car with them. The stove and kitchen countertops were greasy but the rest of the house was clean. The bathrooms need towel racks and hooks to hang towels and robes. The pups loved the backyard. The sunset was gorgeous and we loved the mockingbird that sung in the tree every morning. The neighborhood was quiet. This place could be great with some simple and hospitable upgrades.

Disliked: Communication
Overall a pretty good stay. Fairly clean. Dining table was great for cards and games. Yard was great for catch (except i stepped in dog poop). Location close to quiet beach. Loved that. Neighborhood quiet. Good for taking walks. Kitchen equipped with cooking needs. Icemaker was a bonus. Negatives/cons - Master bed mattress was HORRIBLE; sunk to middle of bed. Poop in yard. Host didnt return 3 requests to measure doorway to bathroom for my wheelchair bound wife. She was unable to get in bathroom. We had to take door off! Very disappointed. I told him how important it was to get those measurements but we made it work. Driveway holds 1 car not 2. Gas grill had 2 empty tanks so we couldn't grill out the burgers we bought. There's a lot of "LACK OF ATTENTION TO DETAIL" in this property in preparation for guests but we still enjoyed our time as our reunion of friends kept eachother positive and laughing.

So So Stay

Unfortunately, I would not recommend this house. The place was not clean. Our socks were black. The bottom of the kid's feet turned black. The kitchen counter tops were sticky. Communication - The host responded quickly prior to check-in. However, when I messaged the host explaining that the house wasn't very clean and that the kitchen sink water drained to the outside of the house to the backyard causing a smell and bringing Flys there was no reply. A couple days later I informed him that the garbage disposal stopped working and that there were cockroaches in the house. Also, no reply. After our stay, I received a message from the host thanking me for being respectful of the house and asking for a 5 star review and in return he would reciprocate a 5 star review for me. In good conscience, I cannot do that. Towels - There were enough for 6 people, but the house sleeps 7, so my youngest kids shared the thin poor quality towels. Kitchen supplies - The pots and pans are bent and warped. Thankfully, we brought our own pots and pans. If we hadn't, we would not have been able to cook anything in this house. There were towels to dry the dishes but nothing to wash the dishes with so again thankfully we brought our own. Master bedroom - horrible bed. It's no longer a dip in the middle as previously reviewed. It's now a "V". There are no sheets for the futon bed. On the plus side, the house is a block and a half walking distance to the beach.

Could Be Better

We had a nice time at our beach house vacation. Some of our favorite features were the wagon, beach towels, beach chairs and an umbrella. The fenced in yard for our dog, was also great. Overall, the house was nice but there were several disappointing features. The back door is filthy. The back screen door wasn’t aligned properly and the screen is ripped at the bottom. The MB bed was extremely uncomfortable and dipped into the center. It is def time for that mattress to be replaced. The mattresses in the other rooms seemed to be fine. There was dusting hanging off of the fan in the MB. The soap holder in one of the bathrooms is chipping and there is a small hole on the wall where a toilet paper holder was once hung. Bath towels were provided, but their quality was poor. The biggest turn off for me was discovering several pieces of long hair in them. The kitchen towels were no better. Every single kitchen towel was badly stained and/or dirty. I didn’t feel like I was using clean towels. The kitchen provides the bare minimum you need to cook and eat, however if you are planning to pack food to go to the beach or are looking to store leftovers, you will need to bring your own containers and/or ziploc bags. We weren’t able to get the electric BBQ started so ended up using the charcoal one. We were disappointed that we couldn’t the fire pit bc there was no wood provided for it. With some improvements, this house could be a fantastic vacation home!

The property was wonderful, clean, and very comfortable for our family of four adults . Fully stocked kitchen. Also, the beach wagon, towels and umbrella made our visit to the beach much more comfortable. We stayed for five nights. Great location with easy access to the not crowded beach, Plenty of restaurants and attractions nearby and in a safe friendly neighborhood. Our host Richard was very responsive and accommodating to our needs. The check-in and check out process was very simple. We would definitely come back here again...

My family and I had a fantastic stay at this cozy like little beach house! We had a 5 year old and 2 year old who were thrilled to see the beach wagon and inflatables. All the games were such a great addition to our stay! We enjoyed the rooms very much and the fenced in back yard was a must with young kids. The walk to the beach is pretty short, but we drove to the boardwalk where the beach was much prettier. It was about a 30 min drive. Truly, the only complaint my family and I have is the bed in the master bedroom was incredibly squeaky and loud. Just a simple toss or turn and the noises are heard out in the living room. My husband ended up sleeping in there alone because I'm a light sleeper. I took one of the beds in the room with my kids. We slept well when we did it this way. So it all worked out
