This is a nice little rental house close to the water.It was peaceful, just wish the weather was better but we were down on business and didn't get to pick the weather!
Cute beach house, just steps away from the dunes and beach. The location is great, wonderful neighborhood to walk around and close to downtown restaurants and pier. Property managers were great in providing information, easy check in and check out.
I feel like the bio should mention how long the walk through the dunes is and that there are no board walks. We ended up buying a wagon to trudge out chairs and cooler. Place was clean and cozy otherwise!
Although this is a cute place and super convenient to the beach, it lacks heat in the winter with air conditioning only. We stayed there on a cold weekend and used the fireplace as our source for warmth. I would rent again in the summer only.
We enjoyed our beach getaway in this little cottage but there are things to be aware of. If you’re looking for upscale, this is not your place. Although the main bedroom/bathroom and living area are spacious, the house lacks modern updates. The furniture is all outdated and not super comfortable to lounge on and all the mattresses MUST be replaced. The main BR king bed mattress has dips from excessive wear causing pretty bad backaches by week’s end. We rotated/flipped it during our stay, to no better result. The upstairs mattresses are also worn. The location is an easy 2 minute bike ride to the Goulds Inlet beach access which we enjoyed a lot. The access at the house is a 10-minute hike thru the dunes and around a lagoon and is not conducive to hauling beach gear across. The A/C worked well for us and the temps were comfortable. Four stars for cleanliness because of age of construction but we saw no glaring offenses. We would return with assurances of new mattresses throughout.
Such a cute beach cottage - perfect for a family of 4! Enjoyed the sounds of the ocean from the screened in porch and the view from the deck! The short 5 min walk over the dunes made it easy to get to the beach!
We loved the location and the home was nicely appointed. They have a cleanliness problem however - mildew in the shower and AC vents and cockroaches in the drawers and cupboards.

Nice Beach Bungalow
Small but cute. Screened in porch is absolutely wonderful. It is not beachfront, there is a three story house blocking your view. There is an unprotected captain’s watch in the backyard with a limited view of the ocean. The outdoor shower is very nice when returning from the beach, but it is still a nice little walk to the beach.

Great little house for two--especially when one of them snores--and our pet. Not exactly modern, but homey just the same. We will use it again.

Reviewer Comments:
We love staying here because of location (easy beach access) and it's dog friendly. Appreciate the rustic vibes of property, but possibly time for some simple upgrades such as cleaner bed linens, carpets, kitchen appliances (specifically coffee maker). I also noticed some mold in the bathroom.
My husband, son (11), dog (13 spaniel) and myself had the pleasure of staying at this property for Fall Break. LOCATION is AMAZING !!!! It's right at the public beach access but try during the day vs night time unless there is a full moon. The walk was frustrating at first but quickly became something I looked forward to doing. The house was exactly what we needed and nothing more. The big deck was awesome but we got eaten alive by the red mites. The deck needs to be re-done soon but is such an asset to the property. If you are seeking a quaint, quiet and relaxing vacation this is a perfect spot.

It was miserably hot. The AC was inadequate and the house uncomfortably hot. We tried fans but it was not enough. It ruined the trip.
