Excellently located home in a nice neighborhood, walking distance from the park, marina, and downtown. Very nice decor with all the comforts of home. Had an awesome time with friends visiting downtown to shop & dine. Took a short drive to see the beautiful state parks and the dune rides.

Lovely beach cottage with the perfect locatiom

We really enjoyed our stay at the Lighthouse Cottage. We loved being within walking distance to both town and the amazing Stearns Beach area. There is so much to do in the area, and this cottage is in a lovely neighborhood. We had a slight maintenance issue at the house, and Ben took care of it straight away, even on a holiday weekend. He was wonderful to work with. The house was lovely and had everything we needed. We were sad to leave and would not hesitate to recommend this house to our friends.

Amazing location. Very nice home

The place was clean and updated. Best of all if the location across from the beach and close to town. We had a small issue day 1 but the property manager took care of it immediately. I was impressed. My wife, mother-in-law and daughters 8,12, 14 all had an amazing experience.

the Heart of It All

Where you stay really impacts your trip and this house definitely set the tone. We had everything we needed and more! From a tv wall mounted in every bedroom to a relaxing stand alone tub, we were spoiled. Everything was super clean and our host was very accomodating and accessible. The location is the best, right across from the beach and park and only a few blocks from downtown. We would definitely stay here again.
