The cottage was even better than expected and perfect for my dog and I. It had everything I needed and was in a quiet convenient location. The only glitch was the microwave died, but Ben replaced it within a day. I look forward to returning to the cottage.

My wife and I stayed at Ben King's cottage for four months while I was working a contract assignment. We would definitely stay here again for another contracting job. Very comfortable house! Great parking situation for two vehicles . . . not something you see much in Shell Beach!

We rented this place for about a month due to local move that held up the availability of our new home. Everything went well, area is nice, walk to beach is definitely on and local restaurant were good. However, minor things prevented it from being perfect; we had two small dogs that have never had fleas, but were being bit. A monthly spray tech came by and we asked him if he could do anything. We received owner permission and sprayed which helped. Besides that there was a serious crack in the ceiling that the owner said was cosmestic, but it clearly is not. Owners son came by to access storage shed. Texted at 8pm and he didn't come by until close to 10pm. All minor, but that ceiling crack needs to be investigated. Its an old house and that area is supporting a suspended cabinet and range hood.

Light and bright inside with plenty of private outdoor space so close to the pacific, can’t wait to go back.
