“Steps from the beach and providing designated parking-a significant perk-these cottages also include full kitchens and various lodging sizes, suitable for families or groups. The on-site pool and proximity to local attractions add to the appeal; plus, the option for pet-friendly stays makes it a strong choice for many. In my opinion, this property balances convenience with the comforts of a beachside getaway.”
