Cutest Little House on 11th Street
This was the perfect setup for my husband + our 4 year old…. I mean what 4 year old doesn’t love a bunk bed?! Lol. Plenty of room for us. The beds were comfy + the rooms were equipped with box fans for sleeping … I didn’t even have to get mine out of the box. It was in a great location + in a great area to walk around + explore. We will definitely be staying there again!!!

Great stay-some info not clear
This little bungalow is adorable. Super clean. Location was good but listing was misleading. It said 0.2miles to the beach (maybe if you are a bird and could fly straight there). When you map it you are looking at a 0.8 mile walk (15min) just to get to the beach via the nearest access. This beach is very different from any other I have been to in that you can drive your car out on to the beach. The beach actually has a road on it. You do have to have a beach pass ( easy to get at a gas station). It is very popular to rent a golf cart to get around town and to the beach. We had a lot of fun with that. It would also be nice if they would provide a couple of beach chairs so you wouldn’t have to buy some. Would definitely stay again but be aware that driving to the beach is probably the best bet.

We enjoyed our stay here. It is quite small for 6 people and I would recommend it best for two adults and possibly 2 or 3 kids at best. Very comfortable, clean and decorated very cute!
