Travelled with my family and this was cottage fit us perfectly. Loved the Marina view from back deck and the short walk to the beach. The neighborhood had everything we needed and was easy to get anywhere in town. Also, appreciated all the amenities - beach toys, chairs, outdoor shower. Would be lucky to get to come back.

The cottage is very charming and has a warm,cozy feeling. It is not fancy but nicely decorated. We enjoyed the deck where we could relax outside and where we had many meals.The location is excellent, only steps from the beach. In terms of the cookware, it would be advisable for the owners to purchase new pans.all the other cookware was fine. In summary, my son and I really enjoyed our stay at the cottage and thought it a great place.

annual family get together My siblings and I get together annually in our home town. This year we stayed in the little yellow house next to my nephew's. It's typical of the area, small and cozy. It had everything we needed. Thanks for having us!
