The downstairs unit shares a driveway with a 1 car maximum.

PLEASE READ! We ask that you and your guests/family be courteous and mindful of the other guests staying below with regards to noise, parking etiquette, and the shared laundry and outdoor shower areas.

Guests are generally responsible for their own charcoal and staples, however, they may be in the house and you are welcome to use what you find there - we try to keep things stocked with basics for cooking and cleaning to make the unit as comfortable as possible for guests but we don't guarantee any particular item. With regards to paper products - we ONLY supply the first roll of toilet paper and paper towels complimentary. Guests are responsible for paper needs above and beyond that.

This is a vacation rental and a duplex - not a hotel. We know you are on vacation but do ask our guests to be willing to cooperate with each other (AND US) and assist with things that go along with a house rental and situation with some shared areas - this includes parking, use of beach gear and the laundry room, trash rollout, etc. If necessary, this also includes assisting us with letting service providers in and communicating with them if necessary to fix or troubleshoot an internet or other rare issue. By booking, we assume you have read, understand and are okay with this. We are friendly and laid back but conscientious people and find that our listing is best suited for the same type of guests.

Guests must roll out the trash carts in and out for trash pickup as designated by the signs in the unit. (We will send reminders as well). Thank you for your assistance in advance!

We do have a camera on the house that is motion activated and has a spotlight to monitor parking. The only area that can be seen with the camera is the parking area.

    Hosts were very helpful, check in was a breeze. We enjoyed our stay very much. Beach was just steps away. Good Birding for Dad on the beach. Bodie lighthouse and Wright Memorial close by. Great location. Would stay here again. Arcade game was lots of fun. Cottage was stocked good with games and great books for a rainy day. Wish we could stay longer.

    We loved sitting on the deck and listening to the waves. The beach is right over the dune. The many games were a big hit with my 12 and 13 yr old grandchildren. The beach chairs and other accessories were a definite plus. I absolutely loved staying here. It was exactly what we were hoping for. Annette and Greg were quit to reply with any needs. Cant wait to come again. I would absolutely stay at this property again.

    This beach cottage was perfect! It is about 2 minutes from the beach and centrally located near stores, restaurants, and piers. It is equipped with everything you need. Bonus feature: an arcade game with all the old games. I would definitely rebook here. Communication with the host was excellent!

    The listing is accurate, the house is 50 ft to the beach trail/entrance. Our family members went back and forth from the beach to the house often because it is so close. We love the outdoor shower, the deck and easy beach access. The photos clearly show that it is an older style beach cottage, charming and filled with fun touches like a record player, games, cards, etc. The mattresses were comfortable. We had 4 people and plenty of space. The bunkbed room is best for one kid/teen or 2 younger children in my opinion. We greatly enjoyed our time there.

    Overall it met all my expectations. Easy to access, convenient to all locations we needed access to. Parking was a little smaller than we had thought but we made it work. I can't wait to go back.

    Great location. The property could use updating but that doesn’t matter when you are steps from the beach! Overall we had everything we needed and have no complaints. Communication with the host was quick and they were very responsive.

    We loved the seahorse cottage, all the amenities, and the short walk to the ocean. The kids especially had fun with all the toys, games and DVDs. Would definitely stay here again!!

    We wanted something close to the beach and we could walk out the door and be on sand in less than a minute. We could spend the day hanging out on the beach and then walk to the pier and restaurant without having to get in a car. It was very private and had all of the essentials. Plenty of stuff to use in the house. Cool record collection, and the arcade game was cool too. As someone who doesn't require a ton of state of the art stuff, I appreciated the feel of an older cottage at the beach.
