This property is just steps from the beach! It’s also just a short leisurely walk to the pier, shops, and to the grocery store. Don’t expect anything fancy. It’s an older house, but we spent most our time on the beach so it didn’t matter to us. Be sure to bring your own dish soap, wash cloths, garbage bags, and toilet paper, as none is provided. There is a large spotlight on the house next door that shines right into 2 of the bedrooms and it would turn on consistently throughout the night. That was a little frustrating. But overall, the access to the beach, shops, and stores was really nice. We really enjoyed our stay!

We stayed here in April 2022 and I’ve just realized I forgot to leave a review. We loved our stay in this cottage! The location is so prime, we were able to park the car and enjoy the beach, coffee and ice cream shops, and restaurants and shopping all by walking. The garage space, while tight, was very appreciated. The cottage is very cozy. I can’t say much about the kitchen, we didn’t use it, but we were very comfortable with the living and bedrooms and would gladly stay here again.

The location is amazing! You are so close to the beach. The house has a cute rustic beach vibe. The garage is loaded with various beach items, we were especially thankful for the beach wagon, umbrellas , and chairs. The communication was timely and check in a breeze. We had a fantastic time and would definitely book again!

Our stay here was wonderful! We had four adults stay in this 3 bedroom, 2 bath cottage and it suited us perfectly for our Christmas holiday. It was bigger than expected. If needed, 2 adults could have shared the queen bed. The other bed was a double and fit one adult very well, and then there were a set of very comfortable bunk beds that perfectly accommodated 2 young adults. It was an adorable, bright, clean, updated, retro beach cottage with modern amenities. The updated 1930's gas kitchen stove was great and so authentic to the time period of the home! All you had to do was turn the knobs, and the burners would automatically light up. Also had a microwave. The beds were comfortable, plenty of towels, very well stocked cupboards with dishes and cookware. Televisions in every room/cable/internet connection worked great. Heaters in every room kept the house cozy and warm. There was also a working wood burning fireplace. We didn't use it on our trip, but it was a great feature. The close proximity to the beach was amazing! We were about 50 steps away from the beach and could see the ocean from the front door and porch. We also had our own private garage. It would easily fit a sedan sized car and possibly another smaller car or 2 smaller cars. Unfortunately, we had a large pick-up truck that wouldn't fit in the garage, but we were able to find free, close, street parking every day/night. We stayed here during December, and there seemed to be good availability for street parking, but that might be more challenging during peak summer season. Overall, we really enjoyed staying here! Very easy check-in and check-out process. We absolutely loved our stay!!

Super clean Beach cottage. It had all the fun beach toys! We loved how close it was to everything. We would totally stay here again! Only complaint was that the garage was pretty tight. only a compact car could fit there but luckily we rented a compact car and we were glad to have a parking spot.

The beach cottage is quaint and super convenient. Steps away from the beach, close to the pier and restaurants. The grocery store is a mere 6 mins walk. The house has its old charms, spacious for the 5 of us. The kitchen was well stocked with housewares, but somehow I couldn’t get the oven work. The bathrooms were bright and sufficient, just wish there were shampoo and conditioner - I had to ran out in a hurry to purchase some. There’s a shower behind the house, perfect for a quick rinse after the beach and before getting back into the house. The garage is perfect because the street parking is sparse. We found folding chairs and boogie boards in the garage, which is fantastic, kids loved it! Anyways, we had a very pleasant stay, and we would consider staying here again.

Cute property, great location, October helps with street parking, but there's only 1 queen bed, not 2 as stated. 1 queen, 1 full and the twin bunk beds in other room.

Perfect location and space to spend a week at the beach with family! Property managers quickly answered questions, the cottage had everything we needed. Hoping we can come back next summer!

This quaint beachy chic single dwelling house was the perfect choice for our family get together. It is literally steps from the beach, yet easily within walking distance of a grocery store and several restaurants. It is very comfortable space-wise, well appointed in the kitchen and has sand toys, beach chairs and umbrellas located in the garage area.. Balboa Property Management was a pleasure to work with and made check in/out extremely easy. All in all...we had a fantastic week and I would not hesitate at all to rent this again in our future!!

This little place kept the family close and active, with bedrooms within close distance and the beach steps away; we had a wonderful time. Thank you

Check in was easy and we were very thankful for the off street parking. Parking is a HOT commodity in this area. 1/2 blk from the beach and a few blocks down the boardwalk to bars and restaurants, yet far enough away from noise and chaos, exactly the type of locale we were looking for. We endearingly referred to this as our “beach shack”. People with surf boards walking past throughout the day. It has everything you need, no frills. Nothing was pristine but you don’t expect perfection in a beach shack. Nice little patio with furniture, tvs in every room. We commented several times in our short stay how much we liked this little place. We will definitely rent it again.

Lots of character, clean and a wonderful location - half block from the beach and easy walking to the store and restaurants
