Our stay at this little beach cottage was so fun! The cottage itself and the hospitality from Rachel get 5 stars from me. Rachel greeted us upon arrival and she was so kind and wanted to make sure we were all taken care of and comfortable before she left. She put the best, most thoughtful little detailed touches into the home. She had bubbles and coloring books with crayons for my kids, as well as kids shampoo/body wash in the shower. There were also yummy snacks and a bottle of wine. The home was so clean! I’m a bit of a clean freak to say the least, so to see how clean the place was and how the blankets and towels smelt so good just made our stay that much more comfortable. Everything we needed for the beach was provided...beach chairs, towels, sand toys, beach cruisers, and even a foam surfboard. The location is super close to the bay and just a tad further to the beach. My only negative experience and complaint has nothing to do with the cottage or Rachel, as both far exceeded my expectations, but had to do with our unfortunate experience with very loud neighbors. On Friday night, the neighbors were partying until about 3:00am, which consistently woke me and my husband. Then the next night on Saturday, a different house a couple doors down was having a party that started around 9:00. There were a lot of people walking up and down the alleyway and due to the walls being thin, we could hear everything. The noise and shouting and even chanting got so loud and was so consistent still at 12:15am, that I ended up having to call the police to request that it was addressed. I’m not sure if we were just unlucky and stayed during spring break party weekend, or if this is common in that neighborhood during this time of year and the summer. With all that aside, I really can’t say enough good things about the host, Rachel, and her adorable, cozy cottage. My family and I created so many fun memories during our stay.
