This is an older beach cottage with some updates. Being so close to the beach you have to allow for the affect of salts affect on everything. Given the age and location Al has done a good job of maintaining this cottage. It is close to everything and the garage parking is a huge plus. We parked a Toyota 4Runner in the garage with just a few inches to spare lengthwise but it fit. Plenty of width. Al was easy to communicate with and friendly, i mention this bc of another review complaining. He was helpful, friendly, and responsive. I will note that the named “streets” are the sidewalks at the front of the homes and NOT the alleys between. If you are looking fir new and modern this is not for you. If you want a classic beach cottage that is clean, well maintained, and in a great location (1block to beach and one block to bay) then this is a very good option. We did not use bikes or beach gear but it was all there available for us.
