“Couldn't have asked for more!”

Reviewed 6 days ago NEW via mobile

Nicely decorated clean room (14), great owners, sunny and comfortable patio area and lovely breakfast (homemade banana bread was delicious!). Very close to a very local beach and starbucks! My only very minor complaint was that the bed was noisy (I shared with a friend which could have been the problem!) 10 minute drive to the boardwalk.

Helpful?

Thank Rachael L

There were many common areas to sit and enjoy the ocean view. There was also a nice grass area and a ping pong table. Towels and chairs were provided for the beach. The managers and owners went...

“Ok / Nice”

Reviewed 3 weeks ago

Cottages are nice enough. We didn't realise how far away from the Boardwalk and Pier we were - you really need a car to get there but then parking is difficult, it's just over 2 miles walk but not a great walk.... Sunny Cove is very close but had a lot of dogs on when we visited, not sure if... More

“Liked our visit”

Reviewed August 19, 2016

The coffee at breakfast was the best! The hosts were very pleasant and helpful. It's out of the way and close to a small semi private beach. Our unit (#5) looked like it had new tile installed in the shower which we really liked. Would come back again.

Hello and thank you for your kind review! We also are very fond of cottage 5 with it's ocean view deck, barbecue and outdoor dining availability. A lot of our guests also tell us that they really enjoy the peacefulness of the cove and being just far enough from town to not be too busy. We do hope to see... More
