My boyfriend and I stayed for over a week at Luke's cottage and overall it was a great getaway - the beach is four steps away and the boardwalk provides some great people-watching. The deck is perfect for hanging out all day and the sliding glass doors/barn door really make it feel like the ocean is your own private front lawn (the sunsets!!!!). It's a quick walk to shops and restaurants and the neighbors were all sweet when we ran into them. Luke was super-responsive to any issues or questions we had - often an immediate reply/solution. The cottage itself is basic, and a funny mix of updated and old (both "old" like cute beachy rustic and "old" like ew, that needs to be replaced). The kitchen, shower, and appliances say "2015", but the furnishings/art say "1990". The kitchen had most of the basics, though if you're going to be there for more than a few days and plan on cooking, bring your own good quality pans/cooking utensils. The bed is just okay and I actually wish the couch was in better condition (it's abysmally worn out) so we could've slept out in the living room to listen to the waves all night. Free laundry and working BBQ were a huge add for us. We're definitely planning on staying again when we're back in SD, though fingers crossed for some of the small improvements to be made to perfect the experience.
