Another Amazing Stay!!
This is hands down our favorite time of the year...when we get to stay as a family in this beautiful home! The location is perfect and convenient to get everywhere we need to go, the space is clean, sleek, and beautiful! This year, we were able to celebrate Easter as a family and prepare a wonderful meal with all the kitchen had to offer. Thank you so much, Cindy for your hospitality...we look forward to next year!!

Wonderful!!
This house is a treasure- it was lovely and bright and clean and had everything we needed for our weeklong family stay! Cindy was so kind and responsive and flexible. The location was perfect- we could walk most places!- and the proximity to the disabled-accessible beach access was ideal. We have a kiddo in a wheelchair, so the house was so convenient for us, but really it would be great for anyone who doesn’t like a lot of stairs and extra comfy shower space. Truly can’t say enough about how perfect this place is- and already can’t wait to go back next year! Thank you, Cindy!

Why they chose this property

Since building our home we have a new son-in-law who is a quadriplegic. Our home is not accessible and their visits required staying in hotel. We decided to build a handicap accessible beach cottage for the use of our family & to put in a rental program. Our belief is that there are many families and/or individuals who will benefit from such a cottage. Whether is be a wheelchair, walker, cane or artificial limb. Although it is totally handicap accessible it is also the perfect cottage for those without disabilities.

What makes this property unique

Unique, cozy, affordable & conveniently located. Beach access is a short walking distance away with ramp leading to viewing platform. Open floor plan on ground level with master bedroom/bathroom. Covered porches front & back. Rear ramp make for easy access to pool deck & backyard. Plenty of parking.
