You’ll love to listen to the waves lapping the pier right below you. The cottages were built in 1930, and though they’ve been updated over the years, they still maintain their original charm.

In fact, these charming little cottages are the most adorable thing you’ve ever seen, with their bright white paint accented by ocean-blue shutters and window boxes full of bright, cheerful flowers.

Snuggle into a studio cottage, or get a one or two-bedroom cottage. Each cottage comes equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay, including kitchenettes.

Each cottage has its own little portion of the deck, surrounded by a white picket fence. You can lounge in one of the Adirondack chairs, or dine at your own little patio table, under an umbrella.
