Our stay at Linda’s beach cottage was quite possibly the best vacation home rental experience we’ve had! Photos don’t do the home justice. Linda covered every detail in preparing her place for visitors and we felt completely at home from the moment we got there. It was so clean, well decorated, extremely comfortable, and was short of none of the essentials. Not to mention the abundance of beach toys, bikes, surfboards, etc. Linda and her husband even greeted us on arrival, which was such a nice touch and so helpful in learning the ins & outs of the home quickly! Despite the home being on a street that sees heavier traffic than most of the streets in that area, we loved our time on the patio. We almost felt like we got the people-watching of the boardwalk (though not nearly as busy), and loved the open-air we got vs. on other streets where homes are right on top of each other. The home is listed as not baby-proofed / kid-friendly (?), but we have a two-year old, and made it work just fine! A pack n play fits in the bunk-bed room, and Linda even offered up a high chair. We did have to watch him on the steps from the patio to the home, and prop up a baby-gate to prevent him from walking off the patio to the street, but that was manageable. The bakery within view has delicious cinnamon rolls, chocolate chip cookies and chai tea lattes, and within walking distance is Better Buzz and a great juice shop with Acai bowls. We had everything we needed within walking distance, and would love to stay here again! Linda and her husband are #beachfamilygoals, and we were so glad we could piggy-back off of that for a few days!
