The Strand Cottage

This fantastic cottage is located right on The Strand with amazing ocean views and a view of the pier. Walk out the door and take a stroll down the Strand or jump on a beach cruiser. This is a perfect location for a fun summer get-away. Sit on the front porch and watch the breathtaking sunset each evening during your stay.

The bedroom has a large walk-in closet and a TV in the bedroom. In the living room is a queen Murphy bed equipped with lights for evening reading. With a large 50-inch TV over the living room mantle, games in the closet, and the sand just a few steps from the front door, there’s something to please everyone. The clean bright kitchen is well-equipped with all the equipment necessary to prepare a wonderful meal. Just a short stroll to the pier or walk to the harbor will bring you even more options for dining. The home has a one-car garage with one additional parking space behind it, a quaint backyard with outdoor seating. The cottage also has a large walk-in shower, washer/dryer, iron/ironing board, and WiFi.

Great location and weather! The cottage is great and has everything you need, literally steps from the beach and so much to do downtown. We definitely look forward to staying here again.

Stayed here last summer and again this summer. Highly recommend and hope to be back next summer. Communication with Owner/Manager and local team were great. Location (North Strand) has a great vibe to it. It’s also well-equipped. There were only two of us and we used the Murphy bed in the living room. It was comfortable and you can hear the ocean all night. We find the bedroom small and a little claustrophobic so would be tough for more than two for us. Thanks for another great time!!

Having the ocean as your front yard is the tops. But 914 Strand is also paradise. Everywhere you look it is the most pleasing view from decor to paint colors to a kitchen with everything this mermaid chef ever wanted. Thank you. The only bad part was your neighbor who owns the Pink Door came over and accused us of hitting her fence. She is crooked and crazy and ruined my husband's last 2 days with needless worry. The renters staying in the Pink Door admitted to hitting it. The owner never apologized.

Was able to meet up with our Ocean Side family members including my 3 month old grandaughter. My sons got to surf right outside the front door while Grandma, Grandpa, new new mom and baby got to sit on the beach and watch them.

I don't want anyone to know how perfect of a time we had in this little paradise. I just wanted a place to put our toes in the sand and go jump in my mother ocean again. When can I book next year?

8/10

I did a review somewhere else. But location was great. Did not care for the bedroom, too small. But the Murphy bed worked out nicely. But windows, windowsills, vents, etc. need cleaning.

Everything about this home is perfect. It has four super comfortable beds. It is directly across small one way street to the beach. Everything you need is provided, chairs, umbrellas, coolers, towels. Also, the shower is fantastic, which is nice when dealing with unruly sand from the beach lol.

Very cozy. Relaxing and easy access to beach. Spending most of our time on the porch. Loved hearing the roars and sound of the ocean in the early morning.

Photos don’t do this little house justice. It’s is super cute, clean and stocked. Murphy bed was a bonus! They provide beach toys, chairs and umbrellas. Location to trails is prime and the views are stunning. We will rent this house again and again! If I had to pick one negative, I wasn’t sure which alley trash can was ours. Lol

Our family of 5 greatly enjoyed our stay on the Strand. This cottage is right across the one way street from the sand and the sunsets were incredible. You can hear the waves crashing all night long. Our kids enjoyed the bunk beds with individual reading lights and between the porch and back yard with grill and patio table, you'll have plenty of opportunities to enjoy the nice weather. Would highly recommend!

We loved staying here, it was perfect for our young family. Tons of room for a 1 bedroom and the fenced backyard was great to let the boys outside when we weren't down at the water.
