    Loved this cottage! Location is unbeatable and great size house for a small family with pets. Only thing that was weird was the wifi, but honestly we didn't use it much anyway. We will definitely be looking to come back again soon!

    Having public beach access right across the street was the highlight. It made visiting the beach easy a we went many times through the day. This was an excellent location and good value for the money.The house is a little tired and linens are not included unless you book a whole week. The bathroom is new but you'll have little privacy with the sliding barn doors made of slats. You need to close a few more doors to feel private.

    Property is in a great location and has easy access to the beach. Even though it is not directly on the beach it has a great view of the ocean from the deck. Very dog friendly and our furry friend gives it five stars. Definitely will look to stay here again.

    We thought that the yard was enclosed for our pet, but was not. The street was very busy. We did appreciate the gated porch. The overall house was a nice stay. Did have a problem with the toliet making a high pitch squeal every 2 hours- but we lived with it. View of the ocean was nice.

    Very comfortable stay. Located across the road from a beach access which made things a lot nicer. Communication with Ward reality was excellent. They provided timely check in information as well as other informative texts. Would definitely recommend this to someone with pets. Very pet friendly.
