What's nearby: Maritime Cafe is a two-minute walk from the cottage, while the Elk Grocery and Deli next door has all the fixings to fill your picnic baskets.

Hearing to the waves at night was relaxing and waking up with the beautiful view from my window was awesome.
View and location are hard to beat.
Nice little place to stay for less.. The couch is not comfortable, pillows are old and flat. Lots of overgrown grass and weeds. Broken metal mini blinds obstructing an awesome view of the ocean. The owners clearly use this for income and not as a true vacation getaway. And although the picture shows this house on the beach, it is not. It is at least a mile walk down a significant hill and then back up. I wish it was a little more focused on, “vacation home.” I was not comfortable or relaxed. I just wanted to get out and go somewhere else. No laundry here so bring plenty of clothes and a blanket. Best was, it did allow for my dog, it was clean, and a good price for the coast.
Loved the view very out standing. Didn’t like the driveway. It was hard to find.
The first problem was the driveway. My Prius scraped coming in, then got stuck in several inches of gravel trying to get out! Same problem as a previous guest had, and I was assured “the situation was amended”. Chad came with a team of guys who shoveled the gravel away so I could get out, and also paid to have my car checked out, replaced the broken hairdryer, missing knives and utensils, and made a list of other repairs that were going to be addressed after we left. He negotiated a small refund and free late check out as well. Then we discovered the area under the kitchen sink was flooded with water. He tried but couldn’t get a plumber so we put bowels and towels to catch the water for the next 36 hours! Chad was very responsive to our issues, but clearly no one was keeping an eye on this poor house! Such a charming cottage in a dream location deserves more attention! Oh and our last night there was a mouse in the kitchen!
The view was awesome, the house was exceptionally clean, staff was very helpful & friendly when I needed helping opening & locking up the door when arriving & departing I cannot wait to return. I will rent this place again
