Our only disappointment with this house was that the master bedroom is on 2nd floor (up 18 steps) and the kids room with bunk beds is on first floor. My wife had back surgery recently, so that was a problem. Other than that, great house.

This is a great location, 1 block from the sea wall behind The Commodore and Guidos. It had everything we needed plus extras you don’t always find like beach towels, a wagon, and a few things for little toddlers like a narrow folding bed- like the elevated kind in daycare for napping. Pet friendly we brought our 2 Yorkies and they were able to run around with supervision because the entire property is fenced. We have stayed at many VRBO’s and this is only one that I have stayed at has a stocked first aid kit. I am a RN by trade and never travel without one, I was pleasantly surprised. If you are bringing littles I would bring some type of gate for the stairs it is long a kind of steep. My only suggestion would be to have pet waste bags for guests who do not prioritize cleaning up after their dog- by bringing their own as we do.

When my husband and I drove up to the Coral Cottage, the house was so pretty and inviting. We instantly felt at home when we walked inside. The house was immaculate and perfectly clean. The patio and front porch made for a relaxing place to chill. We were just a few blocks from the beach and attractions. We will definitely be back!

Place was in excellent shape. Very clean, nicely decorated, well stocked. Yard is fenced in for letting pet out. We had 2 adults and 1 child and had room enough for more. Not on beach but a short walk. Very, very nice.
From the owners: "We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at the Coral Cottage! Come again soon!"
