Beach Bungalow on the Sand & Sea - Cottage 20

PLEASE NOTE neighboring cottage is under construction. I’ve dropped weekday prices down because of noise. It will be under construction through April+. Wake up to the sound of waves.

Walk to the pier, harbor, downtown, restaurants, shops, etc. No service/support animals as the owner has severe allergies.
