Cute House but has Fire Code Violations
This house is great when we first arrived. It is right on the beach; the house itself is clean and check in was easy. However, the first night we discovered a gas leak and messaged the host about it. Given it was almost midnight the host did not respond so we called the fire department as we did not know who the gas company was. After the fire department arrived, the discovered a gas leak from the water heater and several fire code violations including insufficient smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors and exposed live wires from where the detectors were supposed to be. The testing and providing temporary fix lasted a few hours until 2am. Then the gas company came out after being contacted by the fire department. They were able to fix the leak which took another hour but discovered that the water heater was not installed up to standard. The host responded next morning and offered to give us a refund for the first night and pizza. We were okay with this solution as the immediate dangers were fixed in the house and the host was apologetic. 1.5 months later, the host still has not refunded us. I followed up twice with the host and was ghosted the second time. I tried contacted Vrbo’s customer service but they were not helpful. It is a shame because this house is otherwise good, but I would not recommend anyone staying there due to the numerous fire code violations.

Great beach house on a beautiful soft sandy beach!
Overall was great - thank you very much, we had a great time. Just one polite suggestion...a curtain or blind for the north window in the bedroom would be helpful especially as it is getting light earlier and earlier for the next few weeks. Overall fantastic stay though - thanks again, Joe and Jules.

Fantastic, beachfront cottage
My stay on this property was fantastic. My family of four had ample space and absolutely loved walking out onto the beach every day. Campfires on the beach at night. The king size bed was very comfortable. I highly recommend visiting the Beachside Grill restaurants for breakfast.

Relaxing Weekend by the Lake
My boyfriend and I, along with our two dogs, had a lovely weekend at the lake house. Jody was very kind, and responsive to any questions we had. We loved that the beach was just outside the back door, and we could hear the waves from inside the house with the windows open. We have recommended this home to family and friends, and hope to go back again for another visit.

Great place and location!
My wife and I celebrated her bday weekend here and had a great time. The house was cozy and charming with an amazing view to wake up to. The only thing we may change in the future is the time of our visit as we quickly learned about mayflies, but it didnt stop of from having a great stay. The beach was perfect and really did have a private feel. In short, we would definitely come back.

Great Getaway at the Beach
I want to thank Jody and Jeff for a wonderful stay. The cottage was as advertised, right on the beach. The weather was perfect and on my first night there i was invited to join them at their beach campfire. I felt welcomed as an old friend. I brought my dogs with me and they loved being able to play in the sand then run into the water right out of the back door. it was great and i would happily go back again!

Dishonest and disappointing
We vacationed here at the end of August. Upon arrival, we walk in to find two post it notes on the table. One read that the back door was broken due to the last rental group and the second told us that the contractor didn’t arrive and the bathroom was under construction. We should have left right then. *we were never warned of the Reno’s* There were numerous issues with our stay (listed below) but what really was the most disgusting, was when we brought our complaints to the home owner. There was no acknowledgement whatsoever but accusations instead. Our concerns were completely ignored and were told that we broke their furnace/electrical (which was held together with duct tape and was leaking water), AND they accused us of stealing $700 worth of pillows, towels and bedding. It’s beyond shocking and flat out ridiculous. We didn’t even have a blanket for our daughter, who used one from our car-the audacity to say we stole stuff is mind blowing. The location/town is amazing but the owners are unhinged and the cottage was unsuitable for rental. Below was our note to the owners. Hello We would like to inform you guys that after many frustrating moments, we have decided to leave early. The kicker is the fact that the AC broke yesterday around 4pm. Coming to your home, we never expected to walk in and have the place under construction. You did not warn us therefor were not honest with us. Unacceptable. There is zero ventilation or lighting above the stove. It’s not only dangerous but a fire hazard. Like the note you left said - the bathroom is under construction. There are holes in the walls. Ceiling. Give me a break. Only one garbage bag was left in over stock and no recycling bin. No laundry basket. Dishes were dirty in the cupboards. We spent the first three hours of arrival cleaning countertops and such with the wipes provided. Photos provided. The “clean” sheets were tied in a plastic grocery bag left in the corner of the closet. Which we washed because we were unsure if they were clean. The fact that not only the back door is broken but the front door as well (no screen). Is there any pride in ownership? There are many other things we could list but it only angers us. Like no cooking oil even - what is going on here?!? And you claim there was a fully stocked kitchen. This was unbelievably disappointing and in no way was your home adequate for rental.

Fantastic property literally right on the beach. Great host, very attentive. House had a few little rough spots, but was clean and perfectly functional where it matters.

2nd Visit. Perfect stay for us
I will start by saying that this cottage is not "perfect" and some might be even turned off by some of the "unperfections". However, our family didn't come to this cottage looking for a "perfect" cottage trip. If you are looking to have fun in the water and a beach front, this cottage has plenty of that. While, the waters and beach were a little rough, it never stopped or slowed down my family from spending most of the day here. This is 1 of 2 reasons we rent this cottage. The 2nd reason are the amazing and friendly owners. Jody and her husband were very accommodating and was a pleasure to be around. They were not intruding and was helpful whenever we needed it. Thanks again for everything Jody. We will be back again next year for the 3rd time. See you then.

Beach is perfect!
The beach itself caused me to give this home 5 stars! Literally, a perfect beach! I don’t think we could have asked for anything better. The house could use some updating — there are some unfinished projects. But, if you are planning on spending your time exploring and being on the beach, you won’t even be inside the home. The home owner was very friendly and helpful. The neighbors are the absolute sweetest! I do believe we will go back one day. Our kids had the best time!
