Guests can arrive and park in private parking to spy this light blue, beach cottage, decked out with an open, furnished front porch, as well as a shaded, side and back yard, both featuring outdoor dining spaces! Step inside and into an open-concept, airy floor plan on the first level. To the left of the entry, there is a fully equipped kitchen, with granite countertops and a breakfast bar seating four. A breakfast nook off to the side provides a corner nook for two, perfect for morning coffee! The kitchen blends seamlessly with the adjacent dining area, offering comfortable seating for 8 around a generous dining table. The living room has plenty of seating to accommodate both family and friends and is flanked by the large side open porch and a rear deck open porch, as well. A large, furnished side deck runs the length of the home with Adirondack seating. At the rear of the home off the living room is an open deck that runs the width of the living room for your outdoor dining featuring two outdoor tables that each seat four, perfect for grilling out after a long day at the beach! The living spaces are completed by a full bathroom and plenty of storage round out the downstairs plan.

The second floor features three bedrooms, all with private TVs and another large screened-in furnished porch.

The third-floor bonus bedroom space boasts two twin beds, a full bed, and a sitting area with a flat-screen TV, offering a special getaway place for the kiddos.

Perfect location, large living area, clean and comfortable!
The beds and bedding were very comfortable. I cannot say enough about what a perfect location this is-we didn’t even need the bikes because we were almost attached to the square! The family room and kitchen felt bigger than the pictures so that was a wonderful surprise. The ONLY, minor complaints would be the size of the washing machine. We could only fit 2 beach towels OR 3 shower towels in at a time. There were 8 of us beaching it everyday so I spent every night doing at least 3-4 loads of laundry. Also for the price I really would expect plenty of toilet paper, paper towels and garbage bags for our stay. There was one roll for the shared bathroom with 4 people (2 bedrooms), which was gone after 1.5 days. There was less than a full roll of paper towels. When I texted management they said they typically only provide the introductory basic amenities. They did bring more since I asked but I really would expect for there to be a full supply for our time there. I would stay here again but would just request those small amenities to be present from the start.
