Right on the water with turning basin in site. Large rooms, lots of towels and bedding. Comfortable furniture. Great patio on the water. Parking in the garage was really nice. Walk to the ocean was just fine. Two baths was a plus. Close to grocery store and restaurants.

A Time to Reconnect & Rest
We chose this location for our graduate school cohort reunion and it was truly the perfect location! The place took our breath away the moment we walked in. We felt right at home with cute messages and Oreos waiting for us! The place is well taken care of. The property was ready a little early and we were contacted which was perfect since we had just picked up everyone from the airport. We had a good landing spot to relax and plan. We spent many mornings out on the dock and the breeze was perfect! Any little question we had we could reach out and get responses quickly. We were able to walk to the beach unencumbered and some even got a morning jog in! Everything was taken care so we are very thankful for this place and our time together.

The garage is a huge bonus!
We loved our stay, the house is an original that has been well maintained and updated, but with some quirks. There is a manual that explains everything clearly.
On-street parking in the neighborhood is difficult and having the garage was wonderful. We rented a compact SUV, as only small cars fit in the single car garage and it fit...with a few inches to spare.
We felt this home was great choice for Father's Day weekend, the kids came over and enjoyed the patio and there was enough seating for everyone. Highly recommend.

Best week trip ever
Most perfect home to spend a relaxing weekend with my kids. Host was great, the neighborhood was amazing
The walk to the beach was short and the paddle boarding through their recommended renters were the best! Highly recommend

Great place, even better location!
Wonderful home and location! Close to all of the fun, but just far enough off the boardwalk so you can enjoy peace & quiet when needed. Clean and fully-stocked with everything to enjoy a vacation at the beach. It was a 2-minute walk to the beach and 5-10 minutes to anything else you could possibly want or need. We hardly took our car out of the garage. Absolutely would stay here again.

Charming cottage on the water!
Great location - 2 blocks from the beach and grocery store. Lovely to watch the kayaks and paddle boards go by on the canal. Clean with charming decor. Owners kind and accessible.
