Gardner's Hut: Classic Oceanfront Cottage Escape

We had a great time at Gardener’s Hut! There were 10 of us (6 kids). We loved how close it is to the beach. While the bedrooms are a little small, they served their purpose. If you plan on staying here, you’ll have a great time! Make sure to bring extra towels and washcloths. They give you 10 at the beginning of the week. If you need more, the rental place will charge you $7 per extra set. With no washer and dryer, it makes it a little inconvenient. However, we had lots of beach towels that we used instead. Not really a deal breaker, just something to consider when packing. We would definitely stay here again!

Gardeners Hut is such a nostalgic beachfront cottage. Perfectly located very close to public beach entrance and lots of restaurants. We actually ate at Art’s Place twice in one day. The pictures are very accurate of what the place is like. We enjoyed hoping between the front and back decks. There’s lots to watch on the street side along with gorgeous sunsets and obviously beachfront view with Dolphin watching. We all agreed the furniture was super comfortable, including the beds. On cold days we spent time in the dining area with panoramic views from the windows. You feel like you’re in the ocean. We were surprised to find an additional detached bathroom under house that was useful for coming off the beach and showering. It’s a full bathroom with toilet, sink and shower. Those of us with small bladders benefitted when the house bathroom was occupied. Overall we truly loved our time here and discussed coming back next year. You can’t beat the location and price.

The house was amazing. The location is perfect. The beach access and having your own private area was phenomenol. Falling asleep and waking up to the sounds of the waves crashing is . The house has its quirks and 1 bathroom is tricky but doable. The lsiting says theres an outside bathroom but it was locked so we didnt have access. Not a killer but the listing didnt match the amenities. NOTE** if you check in after seaside vacations closes, youre SOL for the night. We got in around 10pm to find there was NO amenitirs package, no sheets, no toilet paper, nothing! With no one to contact adter hours we were stuck sleeping without sheets the first night and had to rush to the store for toiletries, etc. Definitely started the trip off on the wrong foot. Then the dishwasher was broken but no one told us. A mechanic came in without notice and there was a sign left on the dishwasher out of order. Was very unprofessional and a bit sketchy to come home and find someone had been through the house without warning. The management responded and met up with us the next morning. Offered a late checkout as a solution (but not discussed. Only offer). We worked with them and didnt cause a ruckus since the effects are minimal. But still not to the standards expected when spending so much money. Lastly, recommended to take a screenshot of the equip rental money included. When rented we had 35 per night only for it to be completely removed for our stayscreenshot of the rental money pD

It was great to wake up and have the ocean just a few steps away.
