Wonderful Property

The stay at this property was wonderful—cozy, ideal for a relaxing getaway, and a short walk to the beach. The host was friendly, responsive, and accommodating, even allowing an early check-in. Would definitely stay here again!

We absolutely loved our stay at Lindsey’s place! The home was so quaint and full of thoughtful touches that made it feel extra special and welcoming. From the cozy décor to the helpful home booklet, Lindsey thought of everything — including step-by-step photos for things like the fold-out couch and grill, plus great recommendations for local restaurants and activities.The location was perfect — tucked into a sweet, quiet neighborhood just a short walk to the beach. We loved being able to rollerblade along the seawall, enjoy the outdoor seating in the little side yard, and stroll down to the Pleasure Pier for a night of roller coasters and ocean views. Our new pup Nina loved the beach!Lindsey was incredibly kind and responsive throughout our stay, making sure we had everything we needed. It truly felt like a home away from home, and we can’t wait to come back!

Charming and a Wonderful Stay!

The property was a lovely little Shotgun Style house just as advertised. Had lots of charm with decor and furnishings befitting this style and its beach area locale. Owner provided everything we needed for comfortable stay. All nicely organized. Bravo! We were sorry to have to move on. Loved the vibe. Wish we knew more about its renovation and the history of the property.

Perfect Getaway!

We adored this beach cottage, sometimes beach rentals feel a bit cheap or lack a comforting energy - this was not the case here. We felt immediately at home, as did our dog (who typically waits until the last 5 minutes of a trip to feel safe!)! We thoroughly enjoyed our weekend stay and plan to be back in the future. We loved the abundance of windows which brightened up the space and made it feel larger, and loved that there was a sound machine in the bedroom!
