Wonderful Host
Rhonda makes sure you feel at home and goes above and beyond to accommodate. We have stayed at the little beach house twice and both times it’s been a perfect place to spend the weekend. Close to everything and Rhonda has everything you could possibly need for a great beach getaway.

A lovely two months
Rick and Rhonda, were the perfect host and we so enjoyed their cottage. It was close to the beach close to downtown and had a nice neighborhood feel. I could go on and on, but suggest you try it for yourself.!!

Fabulous little mermaid house
Rhonda is amazing. She answers right away and so easy to work with. The house is so clean and comfortable. She did some personal things to make our 10 year anniversary special! The neighborhood was great! Walking distance to the beach and restaurants. The pass to Porretto beach with chairs and umbrella were a great bonus! The beach is really nice as well as the people that run it! We are sad to say goodbye, but we can’t wait to plan our next trip to the little mermaid house! Thank you for your hospitality and making this such a great anniversary trip!

Cute, Comfy and Convenient
We loved staying here. Very short drive to the beach. Loved having the free beach access, umbrella and chairs!! Saved us $50 each day! Cool and comfortable. Convenient to the Strand and to the Seawall and to all restaurants.

Loved this little house!
This is the cutest little house! Very clean and stocked with everything we needed. Keep in mind this is a small, very old home so if a large bathroom or large kitchen is important to you, it might not work. However, the charm more than makes up for it because we love older homes. The host, Rhonda, was friendly and communicative so we would definitely love to stay here again the next time we are out this way.

Nice place to winter
The house was as pictured. Close to everything and so walkable to beach and many great eating places. The birds kept us company in the back garden, the front porch a great place to read. If you want a sweet home away this is it.
