Fall Getaway
We spent 4 days at Laughing Gull #1 and had a wonderful stay! The beach is just right over the dune and it's within walking distance of Jeanette's Pier. We were fortunate to have a warm weather day and our girls played in the ocean and enjoyed the hot water shower outside. The house was very comfortable and had everything we needed. The bunk bed room, queen room and laundry room are on the entry level. Upstairs is the king bedroom, living room and kitchen. Both levels have a full bathroom. The layout of the house was ideal for our family.

Great Winter Getaway
We came up for a short weekend trip to go to the aquarium. Home was clean, well maintained and had beautiful sunrise views from the crows nest. We will be back for a warmer stay. We traveled with a 7 month old baby and a 16lb frenchie. Both loved the room and the frenchie enjoyed having a fenced in area to run.

Short walk to the beach
Loved the house & decor. The bed was very comfortable. I have 3 Golden Retrievers so finding a house with fenced in yard for my dogs was a must & it was such a short walk to the beach with private access.

Can't wait to go back!
We loved our trip! We will definitely be returning to the same house. We saved so much money by not having to board our dogs. The home was perfectly set up for pets, and we loved being able to share our vacation with our furry babies. The house was clean and so cute! It's the perfect location on the sand (no streets for the kids to cross to go to the beach). Management was very kind and communicative. Can't wait to go again.

Nice Beach Cottage
We had a nice weekend stay. Great location along the beach, not too far from restaurants and shopping along with easy beach access. Bedrooms were perfect for us, and a nice large family room / dining area. It was very clean and all instructions were clear. We’ll keep it in mind for future visits.

Very adequate! Only issue is that only one bedroom is actually "adult-sized". Other two are very fine for young children and pre-teens. If someone has that age profile, this is an excellent rental for you!

Great location and vibe
My husband and I along with our grown daughter and her husband came for the weekend. The house was clean, nicely equipped. You can't beat the walk to the beach! I like that there is fenced in area if you want to bring pets. The shared living space was set up great! There are TVs in all the bedrooms and living room - the one in our bedroom had a fire stick which needed to be set up - I did not know how to do that without an Amazon account so we did not use it. But we were at the beach so probably only would have had that TV turned on for less than an hour anyway. I like that sheets and towels are provided, as well as plenty of starter toilet paper, paper towels and dishwashing liquid. The only minus for us is that we are two adult couples. From looking at the photos I expected two queen beds on the floor in one of the bedrooms. Instead the queen beds were bunk beds pushed against the wall. Because the trip was birthday gift for my daughter and son in law, we insisted that they take the master bedroom, leaving my husband and I with the bunk beds. In my opinion, it would be very difficult for two people to get into these beds. So I slept on the bottom bunk - with a very low clearance, I could not sit up and it was tricky getting in and out of the bed. My husband slept on the top bunk and did not enjoy going up and down the steps. The only ding on stars was because of the bed situation. Other wise this would be on my list for a return trip.

Perfect distance to the beach. Crow’s nest was a plus for views of the ocean.
No problems at all. We had a storm come thru that knocked out one outlet in the kitchen for the microwave. Other than that no problem with anything else at the house. Management was easy to work with. Sheets smelled so fresh and were really soft. Overall it was a great experience and we will probably stay again!!

Cozy and comfortable.
This is our second time staying at this property. We liked it so much last year that we wanted to come back again this year. For us, it was like a home away from home. Location is perfect and is a very quiet at this time of year. Everything we needed was available to us. We love watching the sunrise and for the first couple of days it was nice to make coffee and be able to climb up to the crow’s nest for a beautiful view of the ocean. The new wooden fence for the small yard was a nice addition to the cottage. It felt more secure and protective than the old chain link fence that was there last time. Our dog enjoyed resting on the front porch and watching all the activity along the sidewalk and road. We hope to stay there again in the future. Nice place.
