Great spot!

Wonderful area. More residential so don’t expect shops nearby. We wanted a quiet week. House has so much character. Kitchen is small but well stocked with cooking equipment. Coffee bar with kettle and French press was a nice touch. Small ice maker did the trick.

Another great stay

This was our second month-long stay at Paradise Found. The house is perfect for us. We bring two dogs who are right at home. Also had our granddaughter and daughter-in-law visit. The private yard was enjoyed by all. The beach is quiet. We really enjoy the area and local restaurants. Julia is a pleasure to work with.

Picture perfect

We have stayed many times at Paradise Found and always had a wonderful time. It is just as the pictures show and it is always clean and comfortable. Our daughter and her family have heard us talking about the cottage for years and couldn't wait to join us this year. They couldn't wait to meet Julia and see for themselves what we have told them of our vacations there. The cottage is the perfect place to get away, it is private, quiet and only steps from the ocean. Book your stay, you won't be disappointed.

Private Paradise

I have used VRBO to find great places to stay for the last three years. Julia's cottage on the beach was by far, the best. It was wonderful to be right on the beach to enjoy the sun and ocean. The cottage offers a quiet getaway close to everything. A grocery store and several great restaurants are close by. We will be back, for sure.

Fantastic house and host

The house looks and feels like all the pictures on the VRBO site. Julia (host) is honestly fantastic. Her responsiveness both virtually and on-site is unparalleled. Loved the house, the beach exposure, and honestly the limited retail and public options nearby which would otherwise perhaps result in a crowded area on the beach and road. Great stay!

Very enjoyable. Would definatley return.

Property is well maintained. The home is clean, comfortable, and well stocked with anything you may need. There is a great view from the back yard over the beach and Atlantic ocean. The outdoor shower, nesting turtles, and hatchlings were amazing. Home is far enough away from the busy areas to enjoy peace and quiet on the beach or in the water yet close enough to go out to dinner or shop with a short drive. Julia was a great host and quick to respond to any emails.
