DISCLAIMERS ABOUT THE BEACH ISLAND BUM: We are a 1,300 sq/ft cape-cod with lots of charm, I am sure from time-to-time will have some minor imperfections. We are not a luxury stay nor do we intend to be, our goal is to be a comfortable, simple and cozy so you have a fun and relaxing vacation! Our cleaner does an awesome job of cleaning but given we are dog friendly as our property is, and the fact that we are humans there is a possibility of a human error, if there is an issue during your stay let us know and they will come back to address it! We do not have any control over things that happen outside our property lines or the weather. The host will be available through phone, text and email. In case of an emergency a local team member can assist in person.
